2LD Defense - Gregory Double Wing

near the normal Hook zone locations (i.e., on or near the hash marks). Keepdropping back vertically until the ball is thrown or crosses the LOS.2) The 2L mirrors receivers as normal. HOWEVER, if the ball is passed laterallyto a receiver who is then in position to pass the ball downfield, two things MUSThappen: The 2L defender mirroring the player who receives the lateral must yellout "THROWBACK!! THROWBACK!!" to alert teammates that the original passeris now an eligible receiver, and must be covered; and he must then rush theman he has been mirroring and try to break up a forward pass before it happens(or tackle the receiver if he runs, obviously). Meanwhile, both the Deep Safetyand any 1L defenders in the area must try to cover the original passer who isnow a receiver. (If this gets to be too difficult, and the offense remains in thespread formation, consider pulling one Tackle for a sixth 2L defender (Rover)who mirrors the original passer/QB.)Obviously it is possible to game-plan better spread defenses given enoughwarning -- but these basic rules will account for surprise spread formations untiladjustments can be made on the sideline.96
