GAPS AND ALIGNMENTS

  

DEFENSIVE ALIGNMENT

Understanding defensive alignment is crucial when calling an offense. Numbers are assigned to defensive lineman according to how they line up to our offensive lineman.  We also identify the gaps by letters and numbers: A, B, C, D is used to identify the holes to the strong side, we use 1, 2, 3, 4 to identify the holes to the weak side.  This system allows us to communicate a defenders alignment and technique as well as the gap for which they are responsible. We name the techniques beginning over the center - head up – outside shades – then inside shades.  Then name the gaps strong side first beginning with the A gap. The following diagram will give you a better understanding of defensive alignment.
