stack I
« on: October 23, 2011, 12:22:58 AM »
The next team we face is an excellent team.  Their strength is their power game and while my team is used to seeing an I formation power play we have never faced a stack I (three backs in a line).  What suggestions would you coaches make in defending this?  Any adjustments?

What do they run out of this formation?  Any veer or option?  Is it Power , Toss, ISO, etc?

Basically power and then from what i have seen a little swing to the deep back.  They have always been an I formation power team, some times power I (to up backs one deep back) and this year they have added the stack.  The only receiving threat is the split end on the weak side so i am thinking of having my corner play a run read when they are in this formation for the extra support or what do you think about inverted cover 2 for safety support?

I do like inverted cover two vs. full house sets, but that means your corner is a run first player (8 yds head up #1)

I would imagine that just due to spacing requirements it would be hard to get this through the A.  Right now we are playing a 1 weak 3 Strong.  Should i go with 2's and stunt the line play while blitzing?  I am drawing it up and it is a bear weak side.
