Coaching Points:
- The pressure is designed to come from both the right outside linebacker (C Gap) and weak side defensive tackle (A Gap).
- There are times when the right end may get the C Gap pressure instead of the right outside linebacker.
- Ideally sub in a fast defensive end in at the weakside defensive tackle position so he can get to the quarterback quicker.
- When the rushing the quarterback with the weakside defensive tackle, try taking an outside pass rush angle. Watch video for a better idea of what we are talking about.
- If the runningback stays into pass block, we can still get pressure on the quarterback.
- In the video breakdown, we show three setups. The third setup, we show how to get B Gap pressure by flipping the defense.

Final Thoughts:
The three setups from the 4-3 Over – Fire Zone 2 create A and C Gap Pressure With A Five Man Pass Rush. This allows us to drop 6 defenders into pass coverage, thus making more difficult for the quarterback to find an open receiver.
