Coaching Points:

  • The video demonstrates a defensive Blitz setup from the 4-3 even 6-1 formation, focusing on bringing B Gap pressure primarily from the right end, Von Miller, while also generating outside pressure.
  • The defense used is the 4-3 even 6-1 Sam Will Blitz, known for its outside pressure. The video uses the Bill’s Playbook to showcase this Blitz setup.
  • The setup for this Blitz is relatively straightforward and doesn’t require many pre-snap adjustments. The key is to control the linebacker and decide whether to rush or drop back into coverage based on the ‘s movement.
  • Defensive Line Spacing: Spreading the defensive line is essential to create a larger gap for the right end to blitz through the B Gap. This is because the left tackle often kicks out to block the left outside linebacker.
  • The Blitz setup consistently generates pressure on the quarterback, with the right end or outside linebackers applying heat within around 1.8 to 2 seconds. We encourage testing the setup against different offensive formations for optimal results.
