1. NEVER, NEVER GET REACHED ON THE PLAY SIDE.
2. NEVER, NEVER GET SCOOPED ON THE BACK SIDE.
3. NEVER, NEVER, EVER STOP MOVING YOUR FEET.
Defensive linemen (M&Es) can execute either a loop, angle, slant, or slide technique. Normally, the angle-to end uses slant technique to the tight end side and a loop technique to the non-tight end side; mike, a loop technique; angle away end, an angle technique. This is not to say however, that the defensive linemen could not alter their techniques where all down linemen use the same technique or some combination of angle, loop, slant, or slide. An explanation of each technique follows.
ANGLE - 45 degree angle step with near foot aiming for near hip of adjacent lineman (1)
LOOP - lateral but ground gaining move toward LOS reading ball (2)
SLANT - attack chin of adjacent OL with two step move while reading ball (3)
SLIDE - lateral (24+ in.) move while reading ball (4)
As stated previously, the odd defense generally deploys a combination of slant (a), loop(b), angle(c), techniques{5}. The defense, however, could deploy other combinations of the same technique(6-9). Distance off the ball for slant, angle, and slide techniques is 2-3 feet (tip of the ball) to ground hand(s); loop technique crowds the ball.
