2LD Defense - Gregory Double Wing

65 GOAL - MAXThe goal line alignments and coverages (pp. 74-75) are introduced in Practice#9). They are to familiarize the defense with the two possible Goal personnelgroups (5-6, with a Rover (X) substituted for the DS; or 6-5, with an additionalNose man in place of the DS); the two coverages from 56 Goal (Max and Cover);and the Max coverage always used from 65 Goal. Goal alignments andassignments should be practiced from the 8 yard line down to the 1 yard line.Tackles should always be in an Eagle adjustment, on the inside eye of their OL.The defense must be practiced against power, option and misdirection runs; andagainst dropback, sprint out, play action and trick passes.The 2LD is an outstanding short yardage defense normally; but there is oneadjustment that can be made in close short yardage situations (3rd and inches,etc.) With the DS at his normal depth (to guard against the long bomb playactionpass), both tackles in 11 Eagle will align on the inside eye of their OL.75
