3-3-5 StackBase Defense
The 3-3-5 Stack Defense is an attacking Defense
that allows for multiple looks and the ability to
easily adjust to any formation. The base rules
are very easy to learn as well as the call
stunts. The simplicity of the Defensive scheme
allows us time to improve fundamental skills.
The base pass coverage is cover 3, although we
will use multiple zone and man schemes, as well,
depending on the situation and the call that is
made. Flow TypesAll Linebackers and safeties
