2LD Defense - Gregory Double Wing

ALLEY DRILL (Odd Front vs. Drop-back)The gray lines in the above diagrams represent the pass-rush alleys that 1Ldefenders stay in as they attack the passer (dark offensive linemen representtraffic cones). This serves as protection against draw plays by the QB or runningback, while allowing the defense to keep the pressure on the QB as he sets up tothrow. Note its use against both drop-back and sprint-out quarterbacks. Whenrunning the drill, be sure to run all fronts against live counterparts -- 11 againsttackles and center as shown, 33 against guards and center, etc., and even frontsagainst guards and/or tackles. The 5-on-3 format is especially useful for drillingthe shifts between fronts, and 1L stunts at the snap. In both formats, offensivelinemen should show three basic keys -- deep pass set, shallow set for quickpassing, and fire-out run blocking. 1L defenders learn to attack their gaps andthen pursue the ball.The half-line drill (p. 49) is an extremely useful method to prepare 1L defendersfor drop-back, sprint-out, quick, and play-action passing actions by offenses. 1Ldefenders practice shifts and stunts, based on the End's formation call.Offensive players line up in one of the three formation variations shown, whilethe 1L defenders have five different looks to switch between.
