Defensive Alignment in the Four-Four In the 90's, Bud Foster used two alignments with the 4-4 defense. Back to our play example. Note- things I was wrong about when I started this off: A) Backer is to the boundary. Boise and Stanford both targeted the safeties. If the blitz didnt get to the QB quickly, then the defense was at risk for a big play. That is a lot for the players to process isnt it? Oh well. Spoilers). As some of you may remember, Virginia Tech rose to prominence in the early 90's on the back of elite special teams, a grind-it-out conservative offense, a state of the art weight training program, and most significantly, on the back of a radical defensive approach that took recruits that nobody wanted and turned them loose like the dogs of war on opposing defenses. It is fascinating stuff and beautiful to watch when it produces the type of results that we have seen over the years from Bud Fosters bunch. I would argue we had bad match-ups of speed vs. speed.

The Gap Defense is grounded in a simple concept. Before I wrap up this part of the series, I want to get back to the adjustments made after the 2003 season. There are a ton of details that are critical for the defense to execute properly. Based on what you said, don't the DL's all "tie" up the lines in both Bud scheme and the traditional pro-scheme? He has held the job since 1996, and he came to . An example are the Virginia Tech teams of Frank Beamer and Justin Fuente, with Bud Foster serving as defensive coordinator under both. I remember the first half of the Stanford OB and watching one of Stanford's 300 lb guards kick out and just flatten Eddie Whitley. Miami has completely destroyed GT the last few years (if i remember correctly), and they do that by blowing up the GT OL at the LOS. Many defenses set the alignment of their players based on sides of the ball (ie, left and right) or formation strength (ie, which side the TE is on). Maddy is going to have to really step it up to be the starter.

I have told anyone who would listen that I didn't like having Collins moved inside, and that if they did move him inside, he needed to get upfield and disrupt the full back/QB mesh point. French on the Bench is a new series of posts that will take a closer look at the theory, fundamentals, and scheme of Tech's offense and defense. This is a more traditional 4-3 defensive set that allows the Hokies to get to all of their fronts, pressures and coverages from the same single base set. against Stanford in the OB? I think we have had these super talented CB's the past few years but what happens when somebody gets hurt and we have to go to the bench like when Hosley got hurt last year? That left situations where Motu was one on one with a big athletic TE going down the seam. Bud Foster called this scheme his "attack defense" but the base alignments were 8 man front's following the model of the famed Buddy Ryan 46 defense used by the Bears and Eagles in the 80's. Clemson started to rise after that game, and we started to fall. He had a concussion and it hurt our secondary. Each defender essentially has the gap in front of him. At the time, there was a lot of discussion about the changes, both from the coaches directly and from others close to the program. Often, in interviews with Bud Foster and other defensive coaches, you hear the term "gap fit" thrown around. If you compare how offensive schemes don't really hurt a recruits ability to make it to the NFL, why should a defensive scheme hurt us too? If you have any questions, I will be sure to answer to answer them in the comments. This is particularly true when the Whip or Rover is aligned on a slot WR -- hell come hard on the blitz pretty often. Were tallish and relatively lean. Thanks! Offensive schemes do the same. NIL and the future of the 'student athlete', Liz Kitley is back to back ACC Player Of The Year, 2023 ACC Wrestling Tournament Seedings announced, OT: TKP Winter/Spring 2023 Gamer's Lounge, OT: 700 miles from the Rock through Spain and Portugal, HOKIES HOOPS CENTRAL: VIRGINIA TECH (16-13, 6-12 ACC) AT LOUISVILLE (4-25, 2-16 ACC) 9PM ACCN, FSU AD floats uneven revenue share for acc & leaving acc, Your analysis above holding true, but with our refreshed/deep D-line being able to slow Clemon's run, Clemson's new D-coordinator implementing a less pro-oriented scheme. The adjustment from one set to the other depends on the alignment of the Rover. What is a zone blitz? Anytime you see the mike backer dropping back, it is change up defense hoping the QB throws to a spot without seeing the mike. Rover adjusts to the better receivers or Field side. This 4-3, 2-high safety base set gets the defense in a much better pre-snap position to defend offenses that like to use a lot of spread or 3-4 wide formations. What's so radical about it? Bare minimum is the stalemate. Damn that's a turning point in both Clemson and VTs program recently. While the Hokies were able to win, Collins was a shell of himself until the bowl game after Georgia Tech, and I am convinced that was because he was so beat up. That was generally the wide side of the field as well, so the Backer or Rover had to cover a faster, quicker player out in open space. If the ball is on the hashmark, Rover goes Field side, WHIP to the boundary. The legendary defensive coordinator stepped away after the 2019 season, but his . How did you think TCU was able to defeat teams like Wisconsin with their 4-2-5? When Virginia Tech plays Duke on Friday night (7 ET, ESPN/ESPN App), Foster will coach his 282nd game as the Hokies' defensive coordinator. Next week, we will examine some of the basic blitz packages that the Hokies use for passing down and distance situations. Lets go through the sequence that takes place in the 20-30 seconds between the end of one play and the next snap. A student manager signals the personnel group (12 in this example) via the sign board. And that is a key aspect of playing great defense, especially when the system relies heavily on speed, quickness and pursuit. Its a bit like a Tampa 2 defense, where the MLB drops back deeper in zone over the middle with 2 safeties behind, except that here youre dropping the FS down instead of backing up the MLB. I think we see the Hokies playing a ton of 4-4G man this year, with next to no pass coverage responsibility by the mike and backer. Next week will take film from the Clemson game and demonstrate exactly how the Hokies have to maintain a delicate balance between aggressive pursuit and gap responsibility in order to be effective. Playing more of the defense it ran under former coordinator Bud Foster, the unit turned in a markedly better performance against the high-powered Hurricanes in Saturday's 25-24 loss. I'd like to see those guys like McCray playing more than thatespecially down the stretch with Clemson, fsu, and Miamifresh legs all round are a gOod thing.. McCray played more against UVA and Michigan than I thought he did, and he had some good pass rush (but he was usually second in the race behind another defender.). It offers some terrific insight into the Hokie mindset at that time. Mr. Hokie Cody Grimm was moved to the secondary (which is funny given that pass coverage was his greatest weakness as a Hokie.) They do not run blitz as much with him in the lineup, however he is used just as much on mike dog pass blitzes (at points he was their most dangerous pass rusher as a blitzer last year.). Not sure Tahj Boyd's skills are of the same caliber but he took advantage of us as well. And you can quote me on that shit!" Yet, unlike most stunts and blitzes where the defensive player is trying to shake loose to make a play, the Foster gap defense still requires the players who were stunting to maintain responsibility for their assigned gap. An 11 personnel group is one running back, one tight end, and three wide receivers. And with JGW on the edge, he had to be. Coles scored on that long TD. And then there was all the blitzing. We will review the scheme adjustments that were made following the 2003 season and the impact they have had. Cover 6 goes well with the pressure fronts they like to show. So that got me thinking: how does Bud and Co defend GT differently than a more pro style set? Tackle: The Tackle (Derrick Hopkins) lines up as a 3 technique, outside eye of the backside guard. Seems there were a lot of big plays in that game and during the year. At the snap, Jack Tyler reads a key that sends him flying through the one gap. This aggressive nature of the defense led to years with incredible tackles-for-loss numbers. I have a few questions: 1) With all the extra movement in the "radical stunts", do you see this as wearing down the front 7 more and possibly being the cause for some of the injuries, esp last year, (ex. "-John Blutarsky, Small, and generally stout defensive tackles certainly seem to be the Bud Foster model. If the safeties have to make a bunch of tackles (see Stanford, Miami, Boise, Clemson), then the corners are on an island and at some point, even the best corners will get beat in man coverage. In th defense now, the free safety and the whip are essentially interchangable. Using a series of hand signals, Bud Foster communicates the defensive call (set, blitz call, passing strength, coverage, etc) to the players on the field. However, what VT does is very different from TCU and here well showcase the fronts and coverages VT likes the most. Jack Tyler can't cover a rock, so CBF adjusts his schemes and defensive calls to account for that. Tech often checks out of 4 into their version of straight Man, called a Cover 6 package, but it maintains the C4 look. "That kid you're talking to right there, I think he played his nuts off! The 8-man front, aggressive blitzing style of defense often forced the Hokies to play man coverage across the board with little or no deep help. That's probably the reason we lost Korren Kirven. Oh, and lets not forget the secret weapon. Keeping the Whip closer to the line of scrimmage allows him to play more like a true linebacker, which helped an athlete like James Anderson flourish at the position. Alas, so was Jonathan Allen, and it looks like he will be playing out of position in Alabama. In the Michigan game, almost every completion came against the safeties. Also, stud 6'6 265 DE's who want to play in the NFL, not tie up linemen so linebackers make plays. . What's considered non-radical? Instead of slanting as much (because his DL had a tendency to lose gap control and his backer couldn't figure out how to be in the correct place), Bud reverted back to shooting gaps. Virginia Tech uses both their base look (which features each lineman and linebacker having gap responsibility for the gap in front of them) or a more radical stunting approach based on the talent Foster has available. The primary reason why more teams dont try to run this type of scheme is because of the inability to find the two swing players however, and you need them to play against spread teams. Is this true and if so, how do we strengthen this weakness with out losing run control? In passing situations, the Hokies use more defensive backs than the old days, but Foster's mentality hasn't changed. Today, a look at some of the pass rush and blitz packages utilized in Bud Foster's Gap Defense As discussed in "A Look Back at the Hokie Wide Tackle Six Defense" , Virginia Tech rose to defensive dominance running an 8-man front which allowed the Hokies to blitz from multiple angles. Foster has been at Virginia Tech for 30 years and has been the coordinator for 12 seasons. The attack from the DL is the next step, but they have to achieve their gap fit first. Whip is to the passing strength, which is most often to the field but (against teams like Pitt) can be to the boundary. WHIP often creeps up because he usually gets a 1 on 1 matchup with the RB in coverage. It defintely helps to have depth regardless of the scheme, but depth and ability in the scheme only make it better. "That kid you're talking to right there, I think he played his nuts off! The scheme is also simpler to execute because the players are aligned based on ball position, rather than on the strength of the offensive formation. I am ready for some football. How will VT defend against teams like Stanford and other NFL caliber offenses? I am not sure where Antoine fits, but I find it hard to believe he will beat out Maddy with Maddy's excellent spring. How do those pieces fit together and how do they work collectively to form one of college footballs best defenses? He's had only two top-10 defenses this decade, but the Hokies are never weak on his side of the ball . It will be a 4-3. http://www.orangeandwhite.com/news/2012/jan/21/swinney-hired-venables-br. One thing that the Hokies will have to do is be able to beat their press coverage on our receivers like what happened when D.J. By handing off in this way, the defenders do not tip the coverage. Depending on the formation, Rover can pick up the #1 receiver short and the FS comes down on the slot, with the CB still in deep half-field coverage behind.Whip aligns himself several ways, so you need a good football player here. To the uneducated eye, the defense features two ends, two tackles, three linebackers, two safeties, and two corners just like a traditional NFL style 4-3, but Foster turns the 4-3 concept on its ear. He started 79 games over an 8 year career. What may not be as obvious is that football is equally challenging mentally. A retired San Jose police officer was convicted Friday of committing more than $1 million in insurance fraud and $18 million in money laundering after exploiting workers at a private security . What are the differences between what Tech does and a traditional NFL 4-3?? Access Exclusive Content and Financially Support The Key Play. 2) In a one gap 4-3, the DL wants to get up field and make plays.

This book features Bud Foster, Defensive Coordinator at Virginia Tech; Chris Ash, Co-Defensive Coordinator, Ohio State; Mickey Matthews, former Head Coach at James . Flowers, Hall, and Green have been starters. At the snap, the nose has the daunting task of stunting two gaps, crossing the face of both the guard and the tackle to get outside shoulder gap fit on the 4 gap. When things went well, a Hokie game featured numerous sacks, tackles for losses, interceptions, and the band wearing out the theme from Empire Strikes Back. . Great write up French! Against an 8-man front, it was difficult for offenses to establish the run because there was generally one defender unaccounted for in the blocking scheme. Bud Foster called this scheme his "attack defense" but the base alignments were 8 man front's following the model of the famed Buddy Ryan 46 defense used by the Bears and Eagles in the 80's. Playing in a college system that emphasizes skillset diversity is actually a good thing. But after several seasons of getting pounded into the turf by the Tech defense, teams began to spread things out and use more 3-4 wide receiver formations to isolate certain match-ups. In obvious passing situations, the Hokies would shift to a base 4-3-4 look by dropping the Whip as the second safety. First, how do they maintain the aggressive variability of the Wide Tackle Six, but second, he wanted to stop the growing use of one back multiple receiver offenses from the West Coast to the Spread. Antone Exum is moving forward at the snap, and both Exum and Hosley end up making the tackle along with Luther Maddy. He had to use less of the C2R and more Cover 4. The offense uses those techniques to get a better read on what the defense may be doing. The nose tackle is a 1 technique, the tackle is a 3 technique. http://www.playbookexchange.net/playbooks/Defense/02060201-VirginiaTechAttack.pdf. Going into last season, there was legitimate concern about Brenden Hill playing a position that had become more defined as a linebacker, but he proved that a player of his physical abilities could be productive as a Whip as well if he handled his assignments correctly. The Rover was a strong side outside linebacker in the 8-man front that would slide out as an additional corner / defensive back against 3-4 wide receiver formations. k_~k=: .qNgR\T0A$wcfXoMe#:!v2W}\;Kfva%VSc~s{A?dtpq) g~u+c\8h{ ]KKCz/H-\XH/c&4]#T{*]k0:}M &i$kj? [=?_. Field G front. In these cases why couldn't we stop the run? Normally, it will be one of the linebackers that will communicate any adjustments to the defensive front call or blitz call. The Tigers complete their season sweep of the Wolfpack. My thought is that the linebackers/DBs adjusted or started sitting back to provide passing support, this slowed pressure at the line, which allowed for easier running. He does not have to be a big guy, but he does have to have a very high motor. Thanks for reading! Everybody has to be on the same page and know their assignments within the structure of the defense. The opinions of the author(s) on this site are independent and no way reflect the opinions of the Virginia Tech administrators, coaches, staff, or athletes. The "Nose" and "Tackle" are the two defensive tackles in Bud Foster's defense and are generally interchangeable, meaning that on any given play, either defensive tackle can be the "Nose" or the "Tackle". A 46 is by definition a "Bear" front, but to use "Bear" does not necessarily mean a 46 defense. Note that with no receivers split to the boundary, the Rover will rotate up to the line of scrimmage and align as a linebacker on the boundary side. What VT plays most against pro-style teams is Inverted Cover 2 Robber, but the deep cover guys are the Cornerbacks, not the safeties. Well, Hosley was disguising his true intention. Most teams change alignments and will stunt occasionally, but nobody trys so much to funnel types of running plays to linebackers. Was a great move on moving the rover back in alignment based on the offenses being seen but thought the Rover always lined up on the strong side away from the Whip but your diagram indicates them lined on the same side. The defense was predicated on putting 8 men in the box, and bringing a wide variety of unique blitzes to confuse and outman the offensive line, while in the secondary attempting to hide coverages and trick the defense into throwing into their quick blitz read, where a Hokie defensive back sat waiting to take the ball the other way. So now the first question to come to mind is "How do they even handle spread teams when they can have 8 or 9 men in the box?". The 46 defensive front. Even the best (Brown- moved to LB, Worilds- moved to LB, Tapp- non-descript backup, Engleberger-bust, Moore- bust, Price- nada) didn't make an impact. In an obvious passing down. I saw that and knew we were in trouble. Once their keys indicate that the running back has the ball, each pursues the ball. What I do see Tech doing is forcing opponents to keep the RB/TE in there to block by blitzing the WHIP often. There are a number of factors that the coaches consider when setting the defense from play to play. This often creates the illusion to the running back that there isn't backside pursuit, making the backside cutback to the 1 gap the logical place to go. For that reason, some teams found success by running weak side out of those spread formations. His upside is higher than Collins, but Collins is a much more instinctual player at this point. but as mentioned, the type of dt's vt uses are small, quick guys so some guys that might be more nfl types wouldn't fit what bud is asking his guys to do. Never forget Aaron Rodgers literally laughing at our defense. So obviously if it doesn't work the scheme breaks down because it also means not being able to pressure the offense and the QB into poor decisions. When Frank Beamer coached under Bobby Ross, they ran the Wide Tackle 6, and he took that with him to VT. Id call both of them pseudo-Cover 3. The players have to be extremely strong, tough and physical and they have to enjoy full force contact against other guys that are just as big, just as strong, and just as tough. Gambling problem? We will look at the Hokies pass defense in more detail in a later post. Through the first half, Andre Ellington was averaging like 1.3 yards a carry with 23 yards total. When the TE switches sides, usually the Backer flips spots with MIKE to cover him. 3) Finally, as stated in #2 above, this seems to be a heavy run control D and if we don't have super talented CB's who can cover their man without help we could get burned in the passing game real quick.
