Anti-Spread Defense?
Posted on 9/17/09 at 10:12 pm

Two questions (hoping some of the more informed posters (any coaches?) will chime in on the first):
1) What are the defensive keys to defending the spread? (And from my perspective I guess there are two main versions: a) spread option (e.g. Pat White/WVU and UF/Tebow) and b) spread (Texas Tech, OU))
2) Who are some defenses (even individual games) where good spread offenses have been stopped? One that comes to mind was Pitt against WVU in '07. Others?

fast LBs that can cover
DEs that can contain the QB

Who shut Texas Tech down last year? Wouldnt that be a spread Offense?

TT doesnt have elite level talent
running the spread with elite level talent is just about unstoppable right now, see florida

No question about that. Its hard to compete with a coach that has elite talent and knows how to utilize it.

To anyone who pines for Urban Meyer to come here: 
Let's see how well he does when that baby rhino, masquerading as a QB, leaves the program.

The last 7 years Urban Meyer's QB= the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft & then Tebow

11 CB/S hybrids.

This for the spread option. An NFL-type 3-4-4 defense would stop the Gator offense cold.
For the Texas Tech type of offense, I'm not exactly sure. I think you would just have to know how to disguise your blitzes and zone coverages enough. If you have enough disguised zones in there, eventually you'll get the QB to start throwing into traps. Safety play is real important for this, especially for when you start doing corner blitzes and stuff.

The Spread Defense
J/K seriously though, Im not saying that he doesnt but do yall think that Chavis might be too old school to defend against the spread? Like I said Im not bashing Chavis just wondering what yall think.

+1 in my opinion. A true 4-2-5 not just the standard nickel. Allows you to leave a db in the middle of the field where teams are most vunerable against the spread.

The answer to the spread is going to take a paradigm shift in the LB,CB and safety positions and play schemes. As stated earlier there will be some type of hybrid LB/saftey position. These guys will have to be a smaller and faster than traditional LB. ie Chad Jones

I Love It!!
No matter what formation you elect to use, there are inherent flaws with all of them in one aspect or the other. The key to stopping the spread or any other offensive scheme for that matter, is to eliminate the mismatches. Additionally it kind of helps when your Defense is hitting all cylinders. Hopefully ours will be when we face off. If it's not, it will be a long and painful day.

2006: Auburn 27, Florida 17
2007: Auburn 20, Florida 17
I know, the 2006 Gator team was not exactly the Meyer Spread team we see today. Just the same, I'd look at tapes of those two games for thoughts on how to oppose UF. I'm no x-and-o expert, but it seems to me one characteristic of those Auburn teams was speedy linebackers.
