Warrior Defense: Defensive Philosophy

We are a multiple front, gap control, secondary support, ATTACK and

REACT defensive football team. Our base front has four down lineman and

three linebackers (4-3).

Our defensive line play is based on quickness and movement. The purpose ofthis is to create penetration, confuse offensive lineman, dictate blockingschemes, and keep offensive lineman off our linebackers. Generally, ourdefensive lineman will attack through the V of the neck of the offensive

lineman. Our linebackers will fill their gap of responsibility when threatened atthe line of scrimmage.

The goal of the front 7, is to make the ball bounce east and west, by making asolid wall across the line of scrimmage. We will use our speed to pursue to theball and make the tackle.

Discipline and effort are our 2 main priorities. All 11 players WILL bedisciplined in carrying out each of their individual responsibilities. All 11players will use maximum effort to pursue and get to the ball every snap.

Discipline, effort, and enthusiasm are the three key components for having asuccessful defensive football team
