  • @wangtangkiki backside just means the opposite side where the play is going to. e.g. O runs to the strong side, weak side is backside...

  • @klined Did he explain that? But that helps understand some things. The Sam is the strong mussle backer and the Will is the speed and read backer. Good point you made

  • @me9rob

    except he explained they send their strong backer to the weak side and their speed backer to the strong side on purpose on this set. It's very common to use the strong OLB on the weak side if you expect stuff like power sweeps, etc that run opposite the TE.

  • @kruelgor No... You are teaching middle school/high school players this terms.. The players have been taught this their whole football career. Will = Weak ; Mike = Middle; Sam = Strong; Backside A-Gap = I believe is the A-gap opposite of the strongside.. so if the TE is aligned on the offensive right.. it's the left A-gap.. not positive though..

  • The terminology is a bit retarded. I guess it's intended to make incompetent coaches seem smart. Will? Mike? Sam? Backside A Gap? Dumb names.

  • you can do it, but you better have some incredible linebackers

  • Not sit in cover 2 at all? We won a state championship with a 4-3 Cover 2 defense as our base set...without having what you'd call exceptional speed.

  • He also has consiberable more speed at his disposal. I wouldn't say it's adviseable to sit in cover two at all, let alone consistently, against a pro set in high school.

  • A lot of you guys need to realize that defenses are installed and taught differently. Alignment and assignment can be taught a number of different ways, which may mean that names can be adjusted accordingly. A name doesn't matter. Its how its taught. And considering he's a division one coach, I believe he has considerably more knowledge than you.

  • that would seem to confuse players more especially if you have already taught the hole concept of the WIll and SAM backers
