Spring Practice

Will our down DL attack the gaps or engage and read? Not familiar with 0-tech term.

I think zero-tech means heads up over the center. Here is a good primer on defensive line positions/names.

Defensive Coordinator Gus Bradley is bringing a new style of defense to the Colts. Starting up front, how will the Colts' interior defensive line play change in 2022?

So that implies an engage first defense. If straight up and then attacking the gap to either side, wouldn't that give physical advantage to the offensive blocker. Does that scheme ever attack to one or the other shoulder rather than the gap.

0-tech is head-up on the C. He often has responsibility to plug both A gaps or to draw a double.

Isn't that more often used in the 3-3-5. We have the size with Biggers where you want a really big guy at that spot to get the double team.
I really enjoy discussions like this.
Duke sometimes lined up with only 2 DL with hand on the ground in passing situations last year. I think we will see some different defenses.

It is unless we are going with an offset 4-2-5

for example

---O---O---O---O---O---
-X-----X----X-------X----
----------X------X---------N

Using a 0 Tech and a tackle in 4I with WSB and NIckle on that side. And shadign to field strength. Rotatign safety's accordingly. Your Outside END is likely standing and more of a backer type. while your backside end is more of a DT type.

Duke ran that 2 down DL in late game prevent D with a lead. Other 2 usually rushed from standing position. Sometimes rushed and sometimes dropped into coverage or watched for a jailbreak.
So N is to wide side of the field or is alignment based on the O formation prior to the snap?

Depends on how they run it, which usually depends on personnel. For example, if we need to have a more mobile 3rd LB in, they could run a larger LB in the DE position.

Or we could just re-hire Woody. He sorta specializes in this kind of thing and has been successful when the players get used to it, something that never happened at Tech but has at Army and App State.

But I'm pretty sure that any DC with brains (there are some, I suppose) could do this. I expect to see multiple Ds next year. May as well try to confuse them.

Spring breaks don’t line up much, even among the Georgia public universities
