The basic 3-3-2 or 33 stack is a hard defense to face because of the layers that the offense must penetrate. This blitz package is simple.
FIST OUT- Both ends shade outside of offensive ends. HEAD UP-Both ends are head up with Offensive ends. FIST IN-Both ends are in "b" gaps.
SLANT-(right or left) Ends and nose slant and shoot gaps. The idea is to force the o-line to double block and close their own line. JAM-The DE jack up the OE and stop him from going out for the pass. FLEX-Both DE in "b" gaps, at snap drive into offensive gaurds pushing them into the center shutting down "a" gaps then die in hole.
MLB BLITZ- This is the most common blitz. The Linebacker and the nose shoot the "a" gaps. OUTSIDE BLITZ-The linebacker shoots the outside and has contain. The end shoots the "b" gap.INSIDE BLITZ-The linbacker shoots the "b" gap.
FULL HOUSE-This is a slant with the linebackers and ends. ENDS IN- The ends take "b" gaps ENDS OUT-The ends have contain.
The idea behind combo blitzes is to be able to mix the basic blitzes.
