Love the theory. Got the idea a couple of years ago by watching “Jim Knowles: Playing Offense on Defense” on Coach Tube. Knowles plays his Leo LB in a “mug” look and I immediately thought of the Desert Swarm defense with Teddy Bruschi. I’ve also been using that “mug” look to create a “Bear” with two mugged ILB at about 2 yards off ball and a Nose and two 5 techs. Forces the OL into 1v1 match ups across the board and allows undersized rush ends to neutralize bigger OT. I’m going to look at using this “mug” Nose to create a hybrid tite front. Keep it up Coach Mac, love the content. Playing your LB like this almost creates a defensive “sniffer” and it help you steal gaps back from the offense when they incorporate their own sniffer.

Love that Bear Front look!!!! Thanks

Jim Knowles turned maybe the worst bowl-eligible power 5 defense into a top 5 overall defense in just a few years! Thankful for him as an Ohioan and Ohio State fan

[@CoachMac]

Loved what he did at Oklahoma State. Was Ohio State really that bad on defense before him?@@r.mcdonnell8614

[@r.mcdonnell8614]

@@CoachMac in 2020 I think I remember Ohio State was 115th-120th in pass defense. In 2021 I think around around 100th in pass defense. And it was just...every third and long, the opponent got a big completion, every completed pass against man coverage turned into a whiffed tackle and touchdown. It was ugly

Coach best stuff I have seen in a while. Survive and advance. Thank you for keeping it real.

I absolutely love the part where you name rhe qualities of what the NT is doing right that makes you feel good about his future. Traits and character count so much for football players. Keep it up

Thanks!!!!

Great video coach. I have a similar situation with our 3 man front. This upcoming 2024 season we'll have 6 LBs and One exceptional athlete. Have to fit them into the scheme in a creative way in order to have the best 11 players on the field. Basically we are going to have 2 true DL and move the LBs around within the scheme in order to gain and advantage on their agressiveness and speed.

[@CoachMac]

Get the best 11 out there, let the positions get figured out later. Love this philosophy

Coach Mac, I have used this nose off tech the last two years, installed it vs Wing T team then used it rest of the year, last year used it less due to personnel. One question is vs gap scheme teams, you mentioned both lag and move/read tech, if the team is heavy gap scheme do you like the Nose Off to read the down block and get over the top or still lag?

[@CoachMac]

La, let backers get over the top

[@coachcal4876]

enjoy the vid. . . old 3-4 books would talk about "revert" term to drop the nose back off the ball. We have had some success with pressure from this look. Stunts don't change just diff presentation. good luck if you're still playing. .
