First and foremost for the ppl who were not here last year I relesed this defense. I still to this day prefer to run this defense on 3rd and 6+ over any defense in the game. The ease of the setups and the ease of user responsibilities have not been beat (at least imo)

ok let me describe the wall. First of all it is the 4-3 normal formation. I then will spread my LBs to achieve this look


-------------------FS--------------------------SS-------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------MLB-----------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CB---------ROLB-RDE--RDT---LDT--LDE-LOLB----------CB

I call it the Wall because the alignment kind of resembles a wall.

But the reason why I love to go into this formation on 3rd and 6+ is the fact that most likely it is a pass and the fact that I am presenting a balanced formation is a wonderful thing. They do not have a tell to where the pressure is coming from (well there is but im not sharing) But you will user the Safety on the side that the heat is coming from

I like to classify the blitzes into levels. But you can get the same heat if you flip the play and set it up the same. All players will be called by actual position (LDE=DT on right of the screen)

Cover 3

Spoiler:

****note**** if the blitzs are not getting in, blitz the OLB b4 spreading the OLBs. The way I have it set up I spread the OLBs first then blitz. There are different blitz angles with both Level 1 -blitz ROLB -put LDT in QB spy/yellow zone -put LDE in purple/yellow zone This blitz will get to the QB about 35% of the time. The main goal is for the QB to feel pressured, if he doesnt move he will be sacked. What you are looking for is for the QB to roll away from the heat so you are taking the field away from.If you are on the left hash and u bring the heat from the right the best case scenario is that the QB rolls left and then he is pretty much given 1/3 of the field to work with. But dont think that if the players get blocked it is over. Ohhh noooo the players shead there blocks and look to close in. But be careful the QB will have room to take off Level 2 -Blitz ROLB -Put LDT in QB contain -Put LDE on QB spy/purple/yellow zone Pretty much this is a blitz where you look to box the QB in. The heat will get in about 80% of the time. And when it does get in there is no place to run. His only hope is to make a pass where u have lots of defenders in coverage. This is my favorite Wall blitz to use because of its consistences. Level 3 NON SLIDE PROTECT ABLE -blitz ROLB -put LDT in a QB contain -re blitz LDE -opt- put LOLB in a purple zone This blitz is not messing around. the heat should get in EVERY TIME. If they slide protect to the heat the opposite DE should come in free. Plus there is a good amount of coverage to defend the pass. But this blitz requires them to quick pass or leave a player back to block. And even that isnt fool proof because your OLB should be able to beat the RB. Yes he will stall him but that should only buy him 1 more sec to pass. -------------------------------------------- For coverage D just get creative with it. Just line up in the wall and hot route your DL to whatever. You can man them up on close receivers and they wnt move (TEs,RBs)

HOG BUCK 3

Spoiler:
	level 3 -spread LBs level 2 - spread lbs -put RDT on a qb contain -put RDE on a hook zone level 1 -spread lbs -put RDT on a QB spy -RDE on a hook zone

So that is the 4-3 WALL[u]

make sure you blitz linebacker before you spreed your linebackers

you can do them in any order It really depends on your OLBs speed. If he can get there with Spreading then blitzing than do that, if not blitz than spread

trust me blitz then spread it changes the blitz angle

i knw but they both work for me, and the spread then blitz gets there faster

alright well i guess if its not broken then don't fix it, i ran this earlier in the year and i had issues with my blitz gettin picked up becuase of the blitz angle, just thought i would give a helpful tip

np....but yea i guess i should put a note in the write up to notify ppl of that

also if you want extra speed on the field come out in dime

becuase the 4-3 "wall" looks exactly like dime

Nice WFColonel, I ran this last year and it was good. Its a solid D for sure.

Colonel I labbed this tonight and wanted to get your opinion.


4-3 normal FS Zone Blitz
1. Spread LB First
2. Reblitz ROLB
3. Click on ROLB bring him offsides then click off (if you dont put him down far on the line blitz will not get through)
4. Contain both DT's
5. put blitzing FS in zone of your choice (man on RB)

Colonel so you only run the wall on 3rd downs r other times too?. No dl stunting this yr?

mg ill take a look at it in the morning.

bahdbwoy, yea i run the wall on 3rd downs, but i pretty much will stay in the 4-3 all game. And yes there is DL stunting, but thats for another time and place

does this concept work for all 43 normal plays you just ad lib

i love this defense it is just like the 4-4 last year, heat can come from either side with it all looking the same and you can adjust coverage very easily, good stuff!
