Playbook for 52 Defense alignments and
techniques
XO Pointers:
1 Ends keep outside shoulder free and shuck the tight end like he is
starting a fight on the playground. Read the end and find play flow.
2 Tackle does the same and squeezes the line of scrimmage if the tackle blocks
down. Don't get trapped. Squeeze the line and don't let the tackle get out to
block the Linebacker.
3 Nose man and both Linebackers split the two A-GAPS. nose has half of each and
each linebacker splits the other half.
4 Linebackers read the guard and run up field if the guard blocks down. Hit with
the inside shoulder and push the runner inside towards pursuit.
5 Most 50 defenses play zone with 2 or 3 deep.
6 In Youth Football many coaches bring up the strong safety as a extra
linebacker.
XO Pointers:
1 Strong safety rolls up and plays flats.
2 Week side end becomes a LOOK end and plays the flats.
3 Corner, Free and Corner play deep thirds. First step is ALWAYS a thankless,
two back with DB's. ALWAYS! Two steps back.
XO Pointers:
1 Roll the strong side corner up and he plays flats.
2 Look end plays flats back side.
3 In the 2 deep zone, use the strong safety to gamble. Blitz ANYWHERE. Use him
however u like. Put him wherever you like. You might even use him to man up on a
dangerous back.
In youth football I've found it best to play man defense with the corner backs
and teach the technique of looking through to the QB and feeling the receiver.
If the receiver tries to block they will know right away. It's a run. Drop
ground, use your hands, and make sure he's not faking a block only to get up field
on a play action pass. A corner back has to watch out and stay at home if the receiver
motions inside. Most of the time the offense will come right back at them and
run for the sidelines. Contain. Contain.
60 Defense
60 Defense Good for goal line and short yardage.
60 read. All players read the football. Play gap defense though. Always assign
gaps with the linemen. Make them accountable and give em knowledge so they don't
have to think. Flow to/ Here's your hole. Flow away / Here's your hole.
60 Pinch linebackers man to man on backs. Usually strong side
backer mans on fullback and weak side backer on tailback. Or first back to your
side. Corners man up on ANY motion out their side and first back to them. Free
safety runs to football. Linebackers fist step is outside scraping off the
defensive ends' tail.
60 Angle. Flow right. Back side linebacker takes inside gap.
60 Angle. Flow left. Backside backer takes inside hole.
60 Slant is of course the same as above but the line has the
opposite gaps.

70 Defense
This is a, line up in your gap, defense. The middle linebacker
taps the nose man on the hip and takes the opposite gap. This is a popular and useful defense in Youth
football. Effective against a team with a poor
line, or a team that can't throw.
The defensive end must contain and look for the bootleg run by the Quarterback.
If the other team comes out with split ends the end goes with them and the
inside backer backs up one step. The ends play one yard outside last man on line
of scrimmage. Sometimes the free safety comes up and splits the difference with
the Linebacker. This is gimmicky and should be used sparingly under adult
supervision.
