The Odd Stack

1
The Odd Stack

• 3 Deep / 2 Deep Zone with
• Man to Man Underneath

2
Special Coverages vs Spread Attacks

• 3 Jump
• SLIDE Package
• KING Package
• We will usually play our 2/3 deep look against
  teams that use Spread formations.

3
What is a Spread formation?

• We consider these to be Spread formations
• Any set with 1 or fewer RBs and no TEs
• Any set from shotgun with no TEs

4
3 JUMP Coverage

• CBs FS are free to the football
• PUR / BANDIT align splitting 1 2
• SAM / WILL align splitting Center 2
• MIKE will either pressure or cover RB
• At the snap and B jump 1 man to man, SLB and
  WLB jump 2 man to man
• Vs Trips, LBs FLIP over
• Weak Spot if MIKE is blitzing, RB is open

3 JUMP Coverage VS Trips
7
Pressure Up Front

• To get pressure with only 3 down linemen in 3
  JUMP, we use two line stunts
• TEXAS tells the callside DE to crash down into A
  gap, while the NG whips around outside
• OKLAHOMA tells the NG to crash outside thru B
  gap, while the callside DE whips around and
  shoots A gap

8
TEXAS LEFT In 3 JUMP, backside DE loops
outside DE goes first
9
OKLAHOMA RIGHT In 3 JUMP, the backside DE loops
outside NG goes first
10
SLIDE Package

• We run our SLIDE Package against Spread offenses
  and in obvious passing downs
• SLIDE commits 6 men to the box 5 to the
  secondary
• Vs 1 back empty sets, both outside linebackers
  ( B) will be secondary-pass first players
• Vs 2 backs, the BANDIT will come back into the
  box and he and the MIKE will be 30 technique LBs
• The two inside LBs (SAM WILL) will become edge
  rushers with no disguise .. 2 best athletes
  principle
• In SLIDE, we will usually be in READ coverage
  which ends up being a 2 deep or a 3 deep with man
  underneath, depending on the formations routes

11
READ Coverage vs a one back set w/ Doubles

• CBs align 7 x 1 off 1 with eyes on 2
• If 2 threatens the flats, the CB jumps him
  otherwise, the CB has 1
• OLBs align 12 yds deep over 2 with eyes on 2
• If 2 threatens flats, OLBs jump 1 otherwise
  they have 2
• FS aligns 12yds deep in the middle of the field
  and is free to the ball

12
SLIDE READ vs Doubles
13
READ Coverage vs One back w/ Trips

• CB to Trips aligns 7 x 1 on 1 man up on
  anything that threatens him vertically (Fade,
  Fly, Flag)
• OLB to the Trips aligns head up on 2 collision
  2 at the snap then cover flats
• FS aligns 12 yds deep on 3 man up on anything
  that threatens him vertically (Post, Seam, Fly by
  3)
• OLB away from Trips aligns 12 yds deep on the
  hash at the snap he checks 1 to his side, then
  looks for any crossing from the Trips side
• CB to the one receiver side, Press man on 1

KING Package

• We run our KING package when we are definitely
  looking to stop the pass
• KING commits 6 to the secondary 5 in the box
• KING Coverage is always 2 deep w/ man under
• We will substitute one DB for one of our ILBs
  the better cover ILB stays on the field

RB All man coverage is played with inside
leverage

  way to pressure the offense, especially against a
  mobile QB
• KING MIKE X
• KING TEXAS Rt / Lft
