THE EAST COAST 3-4 RUN FITS & ILB PLAY

Description

The East Coast 3-4 has recently been made popular by current Army Defensive Coordinator Nate Woody and his family of coaches. The 3-4 system has allowed us to put more speed on the field by utilizing more linebacker type personnel with Defensive line movement/slant on each snap. The Offenses have to account for all four linebackers that can potentially add into the rush each snap. This course goes in depth of fitting zone and gap schemes. It details the reduction side and okie side rules of the inside linebackers with their keys and reads to each side. This is the 2nd video to follow up the first video giving the overview of the defense.
