Well considering we are talking about pro football here in the Texans forum, what does this equate to?
(Im honestly trying to figure this out, not trying to sound like a smart ass) Are you changing your stance, or are you still implying that DEs will switch sides depending on the tight end?
Are there "right and left defensive ends" or "weak side and strong side defensive ends"?
Someone who is sure of the answer please inform me!
Generally you will have a WDE and a SDE.
Generally the LB's, DE's and Safeties will wait until the offense breaks the huddle before they get set...If you notice, CB's will already be where they're going to be unless a you have a dominat corner that you want on the teams most talented reciever...
while the offense is coming to the line the MLB will normally be the one to call out the strength...
He'll scream out STRONG RIGHT or STRONG LEFT...
The strength tells the DE's which side so go to...Safeties are a little different...sometimes they will line up according to the strenghth, and sometimes they won't...it just depends on the defenense that is called...
But for a rule of thumb, OLB's and DE's are going to line-up according to the strength of the formation...
For everyone else, it really just depends on how the coaches want to handle things...
like in some four three defenses you will have a three technique and a nose...and in others there won't be a nose...In our defense we use a three tech and a nose so, yes, Amobi will have to line-up according to strength as well...
