re: Question about our defensive scheme

I posted a similar topic, but I did not get much of a response. When teams have gone no back, we frequently get into a four man front with no linebackers between the offensive tackles. Miss St. and now New Mex St. have gouged us with this. Auburn will too with a really fast QB; the Chief has to can this look.

Thanks for the screen shot ForeLSU which confirms what I thought I've been seeing.

Obviously, if they're in the spread, you've got to put a man out on each. The four defensive linemen and one LB need to do some combination of rushing and shadowing the passer at the same time. Maybe 2 rush hard one play, the other 3 engage their man and lay back a bit (like they do when they suspect a screen). Each play, mix it up by sending 2, 3, 4, or all 5 hard.
