Defensive run fits in multiple fronts

What is a run fit?

One thing is certain, defensive alignments are the most important when utilizing run fits. To comprehend run fits, we must first understand what a run fit is. A run fit is when a defensive lineman and/or linebacker enter a gap to prevent a running back from running through it. If the running back is moving side to side, he is not gaining yards, which allows the defense to get to the ball.

Single gap run fits are the most common. They require each defender to focus on one gap. The defensive line is shaded toward the gap they will control, while the linebackers line up in the gap they will control.

To understand run fits, we must understand how gaps are created. Defensive players on any team will assign each player a specific gap to cover. Run fits are the defensive's communication of who is to cover what gap. That's how solid run defense is achieved!

Run fits can be implemented with various fronts. From the single gap, two gaps to 3-4 schemes. Plus many more. You can elevate your run defensive by simply incorporating this technique. Introducing Colorado Assistant Coach Bryan Cook,
