This works in theory when the offense is in a double tight formation. Once the offense starts dictating where the defense has to go though by spreading out or overloading one side then the effectiveness of stack goes out the window. As soon as I see a stack defense at the middle school level I immediately start spreading the offense and putting backers into motion. Football will always be a chess game. There’s no dominant formation amongst equal competition.
9 time out of 10 those outside linebackers going in motion also plays running back just like most kids usually play both ways and those important positions….if a kid goes in motion and the outside linebacker picks him up and lighten up the box you can easily just roll the safety down into the box or even allow the safety to go into motion especially if you have solid corners
I run a 53 stack defense w my youth team and it kind of a modified 353 w look we give using traditional DEs as DTs and putting my best tacklers and most athletic players n the boundary at 3x3 attacking using lots stunts so far in 2019 I'm 6-0 no points allowed thank u for the info
If you're in a 4-4 stack defense and the offense is in the spread formation Are you in trouble as a defense? I mean spreads usually have 3-4 sometimes even empty 5 receiver sets and you only have three defensive backs on the field. Generally most linebackers cannot cover quick wide receivers and that's football 101
If you want to sub out linebackers for better athletes you can. In high school - NFL they will match personnel. In youth football, the linebackers are your best players so they can bump out with any spread formation. The youth football game is much different than the NFL game. 4-4 defense is great for youth football because you can easily align to spread formations and you have much more speed on the field. Also, not many youth football have the luxury of subbing in dime and nickle type players like the NFL does. What you see when you watch the NFL is much different than youth football.
SAB and GOD blocking defeat this, 'blitz first' defense easily. We want you to blitz those guys... we aint throwing much and you are basically gambling that we can't pick up a blitz. Any well coached offensive line would have a field day here.
Any well coached slanting defense will be able to get pressure and confuse blocking schemes with these slants. Also, these aren't necessary blitzes, they are just slants. We don't blitz every single play. We blitz depending on game plan/scouting. These are just gap assignments.
What’s tough is that these defenses involve the defense having multiple athletes on the field, more athletes that can defeat a block just with speed especially at the youth levels. I faced teams that SAB block and I’ll tell you that inner city kids were flying around just being faster than the blockers. I prefer this defense over a 6-2 or 5-3 because I can have my ends basically lined up on a tackle and beat them most of the time especially teams that like to pull guards/tackles, my backside d ends have a field day getting the rob from behind
