Iowa State's 3-3-3 Defense - Run Fits

This is a follow up video to the introduction video I did on Iowa State's 3-3-3 Defense. This video looks at the defensive alignment and run fits verse spread run formations.

10:30 Coach, I think that might actually be a designed QB keep. That would explain the TE blocking down instead of arc releasing too

[@trevorj5772]

It’s an option play. The running back blocks down for the seal but because of the plus one defender on the outside, the QB chooses to keep it and the puller is suppose to kick out to open his crease

Coach, I’m currently installing this defense at my new school and I would really be interested in getting some of these Iowa State cutups from the wide and end zone. Is there anyway you can share these?

Coach in your opinion aren't they better playing it as a Tite front with 4i's or even head up 4's?

[@coachrj5890]

Really dove into the 3 safety stuff since making this video and I would agree to some extent. They play a lot of their fronts based off backfield presentation and likely play calls. For example, they like outside shades verse gap heavy teams, it allows them to play off the down block and spill pullers. Can be done in 4i’s but likely to get washed out. Next video I do will be covering the different fronts they run to backfield sets and the reason why. Appreciate the views!

@@coachrj5890 thanks for the feedback coach really interested in the 3 - safety stuff but interested in how it would adjust to 21 pers or run heavy formations.

I was surprised seeing they played 505 against spread with the backers so close (I assume so the guards didn't climb and gaps were filled) but the idea of the mint front (4i-0-4i) is supposed to deal with that at "automatically" spill everything. Why do you guys think they're trying to keep that 3-2 box? Seems like an overhang is always missing. Based on backfield sets maybe? Thanks for the input

How do you get this all-22 film?

[@coachrj5890]

Network of fellow high school coaches. There are some ways to get some film with subscriptions but your best bet is other coaches.

@@coachrj5890 that’s why I miss being a coach. Hard to watch football film from tv angles. Wish I had your connections.
