Covering Concepts: 3-Tech & 1-Tech Defensive Linemen

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

I hope y’all enjoy this one as much as I did making it! Let me know what other topics you’d like to see explained, if any - I’d love to make the channel a healthy mix of concept breakdowns, player breakdowns, and a hint of opinion! Y’all rule!

Been watching football a long time but knowing this stuff is like watching a completely different game. Now I enjoy watching the trenches almost as much as watching the receivers run routes

[@jamridd14]

Henry Melton was also a great 3 tech for the bears in Lovie’s Tampa 2 defense.

[@Chicago2714]

Keep up the good work Rob.💯

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

You bet -- thanks so much!

[@andrewtraynor1211]

Very informative

[@UDawg1234]

love off season content that helps me enjoy on-season games more! Small thought, when you're on camera summarizing, putting some bullet points up beside you would help me track the overall flow, but I'm sure its more work. Kudos for all the content you're pumping out

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

I’ll take any feedback I can get all the same! Thanks so much!

[@UDawg1234]

@@RobertSchmitzNFL For sure, definitely enjoying it, thanks for making football nerdy :P

[@odinseye8835]

Amazing vid, breakdown and explanations

[@adammarier3909]

This was genuinely helpful after hearing a lot of talk about Dexter & Pickens roles, but how it would work with Billings signing. Would love a video about what this year should be for Kyler Gordon after being asked to do so much last year, i.e. what's the role they really want him for and what does he give up to Stevenson.

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

That's exactly why I put it together, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

Subscribed.... looked up 3 tech d linemen. This channel was a top 8 reccomended and I selected it based on video length. And, the video didnt disappoint 😊

[@raheim21]

Excellent vid bro!! New subscriber 👍

[@ExcelionYogi]

I was just wondering this myself duting the draft and all the talk about DL on the Bears, waiting for more awesome videos Robert, thank you!

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

I figured there had to be folks out there that hadn’t heard it - it took me a while to hear it explained myself! Hopefully everything made sense!

[@Gadget449]

This is very helpful! Thanks!

[@dgblac0]

Great video I really enjoyed watching.

[@horaciohernandez9183]

Dan Quinn is out, Zimmer is in. I hope Mazi Smith is ready to roll this season. We need run defense asap. Thanks for the information, GO COWBOYS!

[@pinchevulpes]

No matter how bad my az cardinals are I can always count on beating Dallas. 😂

[@josht1167]

So informative! Thank you Rob! You da best! Go Bears

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

Anytime Josh! Thank you for watching!

[@georgebarnes752]

great video, love this format

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

Thank you George!

[@damitzdesign]

So, the 1-tech is the nose tackle? For the Bears, it’s Billings?

[@Brocuzgodlocdunfamdogson]

Depends where he lines up. Directly on the center is 0 tech. Shaded to either side is 1. A 0 tech has to cover both A gaps, a 1 tech is usually only responsible for the gap on the side they’re on.

[@YHWHWILLBEDONE]

Basically, a nose, Gaurd!

[@alexcampe9350]

I'm loving these videos, keep up the great work! Any plan on a film stream soon?

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

I can’t imagine I’ll stay away from them forever! The big question I’m trying to figure out is how to build a content base that serves the casual fan that isn’t looking for 6 hour streams but ALSO doesn’t skimp on the detail. I’ve got some ideas, but we’ll shift and change as the season goes on - to be blunt, the goal is 100,000 subs within a few years. How we get there? No idea lol

[@alexcampe9350]

You were able to build it before, we'll help get you there again and even farther. Are you planning on doing mostly the whole nfl? Or a split on bears and the rest?

[@TomGrubbe]

Great stuff. I learned something today lol.

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

Thanks for enjoying it, I’m glad you did!

[@JamieR2077]

Huh, so is 3 technique synonymous with defensive end and 1 technique for defensive tackle?

[@johnweber2930]

why isnt there a link to this on DaBearsBlog?

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

There will be! My start date is July 10th so I didn’t want to force myself into Jeff’s plan 😂

[@christianbreaux2305]

Mazi Smith is a 1tech

[@Superherodad2026]

James tank Carrington 2026 #1DL. All techniques

[@JohnnyJackson746]

Has anyone ever used 2 1techs on the line

[@scottritchey6737]

I really hope this comes across the right way!! Your videos are great but you need to dress up. Wear a jacket and a collared shirt. You are impressive so dress impressive! You got this! I enjoy the knowledge that you bring and you deserve a larger audience

[@RobertSchmitzNFL]

I hear you! There’s a balance to these things - some people find the jacket stuffy, but others really like it! We’ll try it though!
