2LD Defense - Gregory Double Wing

Bump: 2L defenders always react to motion the same way, regardless of thecoverage we have called. If Len is mirroring a flanker who goes in motion, Lenwill follow him across the formation until he encounters another 2L defender --let's say Sam. Len then physically tags Sam with his hand ands says "bump" --Sam picks up the motion man, while Len now mirrors the receiver Sam had beencovering. The key to effective coverage is that a 2L defender is ONLYresponsible for his man unless and until someone comes along and bumps himto another receiver.In the diagram, Ron bumps left with motion until he contacts Sam; Sam in turndrops back at an angle as he approaches the Core (to avoid 1L defenders) andmirrors the motion man. If the ball is snapped for a fly/jet/speed sweep seriesplay at the moment diagramed, Sam still has the motion back and will pass infront of Mike if necessary. If the motion man passes in front of the FB, on theother hand, Sam would bump him to Mike and mirror the FB himself.Wideside: If the ball is scrimmaged from a hashmark, the wide side of the fieldis obvious; however, by 2LD definition, if the ball is scrimmaged from BETWEENthe hashes, BOTH sides of the field are the wideside. This has distinct effects onseveral 2LD coverages (see pp. 32-40).9
