Cant believe im watching this to play ncaaf 25 😂😂😂

😂Dedicated to the game! Love it !!

4-2-5 Ucla had a top 2 run defense last season. Also had one of top pass rushes with Latu and the twins on the edge.

[@mjciavola]

The 4-2-5 defense is "starting" to make it's way into the NFL?? It's probably been the most common defense in the League over the last few years.

[@learn2xpand862]

Yeah idk why he said that

[@antcastillo]

I think he meant as a base and not as a sub package. Most teams still base out of 4-3 or 3-4. It’s most common because 11P is king in the NFL but you’re starting to see more teams playing 4-2-5 vs bigger personnel groups.

[@learn2xpand862]

@@antcastillo I agree with that, I think the way he said it made it seem like it is a completely new thing

[@CMCFLYYY]

​@@antcastilloYep he should've done then separately. 4-2-5 can be a nickel defense or a base defense. As a nickel defense you see it run with a nickel corner vs the pass, very common already in the NFL. But 4-2-5 as a base defense typically doesn't have a nickel corner, it's a * position and usually manned by a safety type. And because it's used vs 2 TEs that * player needs to be able to both play the run like a LB in the box and also know all the match zone rules in case it's a pass. The 4-2-5 base is the one used more in college but is starting to seep into the NFL.

@@antcastillo Correct! My apologies on the mix up!

I have been following this channel for a while and you have earned a subbed. 👍

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

Thank you!

[@Spawn0783-gz1ns]

I like the 43 base And the 425 used to be called the nickel I’m not an fan of the 34 but we play in high school but I fell in love with the 43 hybrid with the 52 and Nickel played a lot of Tampa 2 I’m an old school guy I played CB/FS in high school 98/02 no matter what formation you used the trenches matter on both sides of the ball.. keep up the great work man

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

Thank you!

[@LNT379]

34 needs the personnel. You can easily run on it compared to a 4-3.

[@focusedwillis1245]

Much respect for the breakdown 💯💯💯. Great help coach

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

Appreciate you! Thank you!

[@sarahhurley5823]

This was a very helpful explanation of the different defenses. Thank you so much!!

Hello brother,You do a very great job explaining things.And your edits are smooth as well.🎉

[@1515renegade]

Wow, been watching football all my life, had heard of these terms, BUT thanks to your explaining, subscribed!

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

Thank you! Glad to have you on board!

[@tarrerdome]

Outstanding Presentation!!

[@JoseRomero-rq3is]

Zone Blocking schemes kill the 3-3 stack, especially wing-t.

[@STELLARMIGHTY]

This helped me a lot

[@chrisshergie1030]

Biggest Problem with 3-4 is the DE’s. Traditionally they are big and unathletic run stoppers who are limited in pass rush. U rely on your olb’s getting to the qb. Note: jj watt wrecked this theory and changed the position. But later in his career he became strictly a pass rusher who gave up gaping plays in the run game

[@realJonSpringer]

This is an excellent breakdown, brother. Keep up the great work! - Jon

Great video.

[@AngryCowboysFan]

Great video!!!!!

[@rayvaughnhogges6933]

what about a 3-5-3 defense?

[@gns4838]

Odd means 3 or 5 guys on the line. Even is 4 or 6. 34 has variations. NT 2 DE's or 2 DT's. There used to be a 34 technique called TNT. Tackle Nose Guard Tackel. They lined up over both Guards and Center. It doesnt necessarily mean what gap they are in.

[@leeschuetz]

What are your thoughts on this new "eat the captain" defense? I'd love to see you do a video on it

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

Will have to get coach to do a video on our coaching channel!

[@Rs18-o1k]

You think you can breakdown the patriots 6man walk up amoeba defense from 2019? On passing downs they had 2 guys in the dirt and a total of 6 and sometimes 7 guys walked up.

[@LearnFootballWithvIQtory]

For sure! Those are called "Simulated Pressures", I can add it to the list!

[@pd9971]

Awesome break down but why no love for one of my favorite defenses the 4-4?

[@chrisshergie1030]

Cuz it’s a video game and hig school defense. Or goalline. But no one runs it as a base defense (except some jr. Highs)

[@adamrandolph4003]

Better have some really athletic LBs

[@Ironmonk036]

What happen to the 6-1 or 6-2defense?

[@KALICOE]

4-2-5 just 4-3 until you get a fast safety who can tackle or fast lb with great coverage it's mostly used out of tampa two

[@bmaikels81]

What program are you using for these plays?

[@918kickinwing]

You should probably explain with high school footage. NFL players know subtle movements like feet gathering shuffles and twists. Those will be hard for someone who is just understanding the game to learn from. You want basic formations and basic movements. You have an ego and it’s common for coaches. But this sort of education needs to be controlled. You’re teaching basic of football, not installing schemes with top 5% athletes

[@CedricFigaro-f8o]

Your Defensive chart is wrong. inside the TE is not 6i , its 7 tech.

[@Praying_Mantis3]

What’s outside the TE called?

[@Hybridknfgrowchannel]

No real such thing as the best its about personal wich side of the hash down and distance these are how i judge what to call and what to add into the call offenses are flying past defenses so much can be done on offense compared to defense this is why i really believe in running from the gun as soon as chip got rid of shady and that Oline and couldn't run from the gun his offense died wich is unfortunate the patriots ran the pace of it but didn't understand the nuts and bolts quite frankly neither did chip IMO run from gun throw from undercenter and see how many defenders get the flu before game day 😂

[@chrisshergie1030]

Personnel

[@chrisshergie1030]

Travis kelce is a blocking TE that loves to get physical? And every defense can be manipulated, it is not specific to the 4-3

[@chrisshergie1030]

But do you know what a Nosebacker is? Run with 2 bandits?

[@MorphSligo]

Moore Anthony Garcia Anna Lewis Linda

[@chrisshergie1030]

Stop saying the coverages. You have no idea based on the defense what coverage they are going to run. Well, I guess you are talking about base defenses so…I take it back lol

[@JoshuaHemming-c3k]

3-3-5 and 3-3-5 tite is the laziest shit ever go back to 3-4 and play your assignments. 3-2-6 has the highest potential for long term use.

[@chrisshergie1030]

No one is ever going to run 6 db’s as their base defense. Unless they want the opposing team to hand the ball off 40 times for 200yds

Rather poor job of explaining the cons for a 4-3, totally sidetracked yourself.

Lot of nuance you don't know,especially with this being a front focused video.
