3-4 Odd – Part 1

Playbook: New York Jets

Formation: 3-4 Odd

Play: Pinch Buck 0

Setup:

  1. Base Align (You may also want to man align for this play).
  2. Pinch your linebackers and globally blitz them all
  3. QB Contain
  4. User the MLB on the opposite side of the running back. Let him take a step in to blitz and then pull him off into coverage (manually cover the unguarded receiver).

Overview: This is our go-to defense out of the 3-4 odd formation. It is high risk/high reward. If your opponent shows he can consistently beat this defense, switch to something else. Many won’t have any answer for it. We call it until our opponent stops it.

I’m having trouble with the halfback running out routes and I’m getting quick thrown for first downs. Added with the fact that they’ve made it to where the Linebackers can’t jump this year.
