2LD Defense - Gregory Double Wing

locker: if the lineman he is slanting toward blocks down on him, he employs hispower move techniques; if the lineman he originally aligned over attempts toreach-block him, the defender attacks the shoulder pad with his inside elbow,and hand-fights his way clear to secure the gap.Breakdown: The N/T always attacks, but this attack only continues at fullthrottle when confirmed by pass-blocking by the offensive line. If the O-line firesout, the defender immediately breaks down with shoulders square to the LOS --the rule for breakdown is to penetrate no further than the heels of the offensiveline.Tear: A pursuit reaction along the LOS by N/T's who have broken down fromtheir initial pass rush attitude. The defender keeps the ball carrier in front of himwithout circling around blockers or getting blown off the line. He never overrunsthe ball, but adjusts his tear course to intersect the ball carrier.It is important to emphasize that a N/T's original intention is to ATTACK fullspeed ahead; he will continue to do so if his offensive line keys (see page 46)confirm pass blocking, and will only initiate breakdown and/or tear AS AREFLEXIVE ADJUSTMENT to aggressive blocking by his key triangle (see page46).Ends have two run techniques, crash and trail.Crash: Aligned Loose, the End is free to crash into the offensive backfield. Hepenetrates aggressively through the C gap aiming at the near halfback (or at thespot where one would be). He maintains outside leverage on the ball whileforcing it directly -- the End should NEVER allow a ball-carrier to cut back insidehim untouched. From a Tight alignment, the crash technique is more difficult toinitiate, but the End should fight through blocks by the offensive line to gain hiscrash leverage whenever possible. The End must stay on his feet, so the armshiver technique is preferred, fighting through the head and neck of inside-outblockers, disengaging as soon as possible and keeping his feet clear. If an Endaligned Loose reads an off-tackle play coming directly at him, however, heshould engage the trap or kickout-blocker with his inside shoulder to maintainoutside leverage. Aligned Tight, an End should fight outside-in pressure from aTE with his outside shoulder, stringing him along the LOS while being aware ofcutback attempts by the ball-carrier.Trail: A natural extension of crash technique. If potential ball-carriers moveaway from him, and no blockers attack, the End immediately locates the QB andthe football, trails AT FULL SPEED and expects a cutback, counter or reversemove by a ball-carrier. Reverses or bootlegs will almost always be preceded by20
