Holy Sh*t Clark. The DT, DE, LB exmaples and further clarification is just what I needed for this weekend. I cant wait to hear what you have to say here. See my e-mail as well I already responded.
THANKS!!!,

"Holy Sh*t" is a fair description. When too many coaches didn't have the talent to even "stone" a TE I began to look at other solutions. Although four coaches responded that they made the playoffs (80% of respondents), I actually think 11 coaches were running the system. Four out of eleven making the playoffs is totally unacceptable. I now understand the problem (They didn't just only have 2.5 studs but a bunch of MPP's as well). And, having failed to account for MPP's unable to stone and OLBer's unable to contain, I have adjusted the defense to accomodate just two studs (Mike is no longer a stud - he's just BIG) and two MPP's. What you have is my second attempt at a solution (the second being better than the first as I adjusted it to defending spread on the second try). There may still be a third version but I doubt it will be much different than this. I believe I am onto something. The base package defends spread, "I", split backs, UBSW, DW, and option and with no sideline calls. There are three sideline calls which I did not send you, figuring the base should defeat anything you face. Two of those calls are used on third and long and the other on fourth and long.
While still mantaining Lombardi's principalds, lurkers cannot even imagine everything this updated defense covers on paper. If it does it on the field too, a great many recent youth offensive innovations will be sent back to the Stone Age. I'm glad you spotted the "Holy Sh*t!" aspect of it because, while you may have limped into your playoffs, you could just smash your way to the championship game.
You're my guinea pig!
Good luck!
