Coaching Points:

  1. The Nickel – 3-3-5 – Wide – 3 Sam Will Blitz design is to bring edge pressure from the left outside linebacker.
  2. If your team has an elite edge pass rusher, make sure he lines up opposite side of the left outside linebacker.
  3. Drop the or free safety over the short middle of the field. Watch for short pass routes in that area of the field.
  4. Occasionally, the left end may get free as the left outside linebacker is blocked by the right tackle.
