mmdaytontexas Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago When PK was hired, I read a good article on his defensive style and terminology. Has anyone seen a thread or article on the defense Muschamp runs today and the terminology he uses? I keep hearing Bobby and the other OTF personalities referring to something called an overhang linebacker. I'm not familiar with that term. Quote

Alex Butler Posted 37 minutes ago Posted 37 minutes ago Basically an overhang linebacker in a 3 down front scheme plays outside the defensive end with his hand in the ground and is more of an attacking player playing near the line of scrimmage rather than typical LB depth. For instance you could have a front 3 with Simmons, geffridge, and Jackson with someone like Smith, Biles, or Spence playing that overhang backer and Cryer in the middle with Snith or Biles. The secondary would be 2 safeties McDonald and Williams, 2 CB Phillips and Mascoe, and a nickel (star) Littleton. Schematically PK preferred organic pressure from his front 4 defensive linemen and did not blitz much either LB or secondary. Keeping the defense structurally sound and forcing teams to be precise and execute long drives. Which he did and taught very well. Muschamp is more aggressive with blitzes and moving d-linemen with stunts etc. This creates more havoc and pressure but leaves secondary defenders exposed if the pressure doesn’t get to the QB or the RB. 1 Quote

Very good break down. This is it right here 👏🏿 1 Quote
