Attacking 3-3 in the Run Game

Description

Coach Norris shared insights from facing a 3–3 defensive front in back-to-back playoff matchups. He emphasized the importance of offensive line discipline, keeping eyes up to identify the fourth rusher and maintain gap integrity against heavy slanting defenses. He highlighted how running backs must adapt post-snap, trusting their reads rather than expecting plays to unfold exactly as drawn on the whiteboard. The talk focused on simplicity, quick decision-making, and teaching players to adjust in real time, with examples of successful plays like Buck, Belly, and Duo that allowed his team to find offensive success even against a fast-flowing linebacker corps.
