Great Coach I wish I was on that coaching staff.

He’s a good one 👍👍

I've been a 46 DC for almost 5 years now. It's a great system especially for HS

[@CoachJoeSalas]

Looking forward to hearing you teach it. 👊

Weakside Dive Option = Kryptonite for the 46.

I use 4 D-Lineman + 1 LB off the edge, 2 LB’s in man or zone, 2 safeties, 2 CBs
Helps run support while covering quick passes in the middle
OR
4 DL + 1 LB off the edge, 1 LB, 2 safeties, 1 NB, 2 CBs
Helps run support + overall coverage

I like it 👍

The best team in Mississippi Oak grove plays this. They also have the dudes to play man behind it.

[@CoachJoeSalas]

That is a good combination 😬

[@tojoishida4789]

I run 3-4 bear, but I love the 5-3 look...if you got the athletes

[@CoachJoeSalas]

Thanks for watching buddy

What is the difference in teams who play loose 5's, 3's and a nose to those who play loose 5's, 4's and a nose?

[@CoachJoeSalas]

Not sure, I’ll ask Dennis.
