What Is The Broken Stack

[@trevorbrowder]

Great analysis here, Coach. Was talking with my buddy at Duquesne who's running this stuff. Spot on. Thanks for giving back to the profession!

[@CoachMac]

Small world, Duquesne was a rival for me in college!!!

As a 4-2-5 Guy this video is refreshing because it’s still a 6 man box and I can keep my 3 safeties. This change up will mess olineman up in the head

[@CHAD_84]

Another video that doesn't disappoint. Coach, love all the work you do. You keep it simple just like the game should be played, SIMPLE!

[@CoachMac]

Thank you

[@derekbrodin2508]

Love your stuff Coach.

[@CoachMac]

Glad you enjoy it!

How you beat the Iowa State defense, is to line up in the regular I-formation. Having one WR on each side, one tight end, 1 FB, 1 TB, and 1 QB that is under center. When facing the 3-3 stack, run dives between the N and the E's. When they squeeze the line, run off tackle (either behind the TE or away from it, in order to confuse them). This will force them to drop the middle saftey down. Then hit them with a PA pass over their head to the TE on a post route.

[@CoachMac]

They might sub to that

Great video coach, very interisting stuff!

[@CoachMac]

Thank you

Oklahoma St does the 3 high safety look from the 4-2-5

[@CoachMac]

And they do it well

[@mauricelewis4660]

Iowa st actually bases the rules of their broken stack off of 3-4 principles

[@CoachMac]

Yes sir, very rarely stacked

[@michaelgoerge6747]

Coach great video as always and insight - what adjustment would Iowa St or a team that runs 3-high have for a TE set? 21/11 personnel...

[@CoachMac]

They still play light boxes and try to play their base stuff

[@mauricelewis4660]

They play that with line movements. Phil Snow Baylor former and Carolina Panthers DC used this against Detroit last year

[@rossm.1138]

Sort of unrelated, but since you mentioned Ohio State's 4-3 early on in the video...Ohio State last year (and to an extent this year) had one of the more unique ways of playing 4-3 defense. They played 3 corners and 1 safety, and played a ton of press man. It was interesting to see... but had all the weaknesses you'd expect, and when they lost their inside nickel Shaun Wade in the Semifinal, their defense kinda fell apart

[@CoachMac]

I don’t watch them much, I might have to start

[@raydayton3542]

Rob Manchester at Georgia Military College has done this for 25 years

[@CoachMac]

They live off pressure as well

[@mrbrianklee]

Do you play your stacks Left/Right or Field/Boundary? Why?

[@CoachMac]

I play mine left/right for alignment and tempo reasons. I could see doing it field/boundary also. Got tired of not being lined up

[@mrbrianklee]

@@CoachMac agreed. I can't stand strong/weak based on formation. To easy to get tempo. We do our entire front field/boundary most games unless we get a truly balanced team that uses only 1 or 2 formations.

[@CoachMac]

Love it

[@tim92511]

In your base stack, what are the reads for your stack backers. Do you use any guard to back reads or how do u do it with extra backer inside

[@CoachMac]

Our base was tied together a backer and a DL, so they both read the same thing. Ends and stacks read and fit off blocks by the tackle
