SHOOT Call is used to maximize Pass
rush. This can be called on outside
shoulder, hit the gap and go.
Can run Blitz, Fire Zone .
(please see illustrations on next slides.)
The alignment Of the Mike cause a forced blocking scheme
and helps in the pass rush, freeing one rusher. The only
adjustment is keeping the RB in for protection. ( This can open
a screen to weak side) The adjustment is Strong takes TE man
and Buck spies RB. Thus Screen heavy teams have a realproblem with defense.

Fire Zone, Blitz and Sticks.
3 Plus 1 should always be the rush. Seeing that only three are rushing and the
Nose is controlling.
3 plus 2 is the best pressure package.
Using the Strong and Will in Fire Zone with SS and Rifle will stretch the offensive
lines capability and make them keep a RB as a protector.
Sticks will allow the inside pass rush to collapse pockets quickly. This is a great wayto play a pass heavy offense with a less mobile QB.
Remember you can't defend everything but you can control what and when you
give offenses and cause them to alter and force the blocking patterns where it
benefits the defense.
Lastly make your own front attacks that work for a particular opponent, myphilosophy is take away their 10 best plays and make them use what they are not
best suited for.
