I believe in "shoot and redirect". I also believe that a defensive line man will always take on half of the man never the whole man.
Here are my terms for the 4-2FIST IN= Both defensive tackles in "a" gap(have "a" gap responsibility). FIST OUT= Both defensive tackles in "b" gap(have "b" gap responsibility). HEAD UP= Both defensive tackles head up with offensive gaurds. FLEX= Both tackles in "b" gaps, at snap push both offensive gaurds into center and die in the hole( the idea is to shut down the "a"gaps). LION= Tackles head up and shoot left gap, LB have right gap. RAM= Tackles head up and shoot right gap, LB have left gap. FOX= DE shoot "b" gap, DT has outside containment. KNIFE= DE shoot outside to QB. SLAM= DE stand up OE and stop him from going out for pass.
