We do not blitz very often and do not have a complicated blitzing system. When we run the 3-4, we have an inside unit and two outside units. Our inside unit is our two middle linebackers and our noseguard. Wue use 4 stunts with this unit Dog (left or right), Slant (left or right), Scrape (left or right) and cross.
Dog-We are going to shoot the gap to the left or right with the middle linebacker and noseguard to the side the blitz is called. The linebacker away from the blitz will read the guard and look for cutback. Slant-The linebacker and the noseguard are going to shoot the gap to the side the blitz is called Scrape-The linebacker and noseguard to the side of the blitz call will trade responsibilities. Offside linebacker will read the guard and play normal. Cross-Noseguard plays normal and the middle linebackers trade responsibilities. Our two outside units are our defensive end and corner to each side. In our normal alignment our corners have contain and our defensive ends head up responsibilities. We stress to the corners that they can let the offence know they are blitzing. We have two stunts for these units Dog (left or right) and C-GO (left or right).
Dog-The corner and the end change responsibilities and we will go into a man to man coverage on pass. C-Go-The corner will take an outside rush and the end will shoot the gap. Man to man coverage on pass
