[QUOTE="1979jacket, post: 176742, member: 2430"] I watched the film earlier today. I am most interested in seeing the action between CPJ and Van Gorder. Not because of the fussing between them, but because both have a lot of history coaching offense and defense and the matchup should be interesting- my notes from Navy game - VG started with a 4-4 but quickly moved to almost a 3-5 that could be called a 3-4. It was shaped like a dome with 3 down linemen, 3 inside linebackers back a bit and 2 outside linebackers closer to the line but in an up stance just outside the tackles. The down linemen were over the center and tackles straight up. Kind of strange because VG has always been more of a 4 man line guy. - The 3 linebackers in the middle were constantly run blitzing and going through the holes left open from a pulling lineman - usually guard, sometimes tackle - When you see the defense you think you should have success with the Bback as long as you get a good block on the noseman but in reality due to the run blitz of the linebackers, Navy's bback had limited success. Hard to block blitzing linebackers. It should be noted Navy scored 38 points however. - The announcer said ND was going with the change to 3 down linemen to stop the perimeter. I have a feeling VG told him that. In reality, Navy had a lot of success pitching to the perimeter because 1) they had success with arch blocks by their tackles on the linebackers, and 2) the linebackers could not get out to the pitch in time before Navy hit the corner. - Navy also went a lot with a formation that split one of their Abacks out wide. This resulted in 7 men in the box instead of 8 for Notre Dame as a result of one of the outside LBers having to go out with him. - Navy also ran the Aback quick hitter counter play several times that we have seen CPJ use in the past. It worked pretty well given ND was flowing hard to the ball and there was no down lineman over the guard hole. But still the most success was with the pitch and sometimes a very quick pitch by the QB because ND was crashing the outside linebackers. So in summary Will VG run this same defense? Why wouldn't he? It is what he concocted last year for a CPJ disciple. Or will he go with his more conventional 4 man line. How will CPJ attack it? He may believe try the middle early because there is some room in there with no linemen over the guards. He will then look for them crashing and go wide. By the way, Navy had some nice passes and wide open receivers deep at times given ND was crashing and were in man-to-man coverage. [/QUOTE]
