This is one of Marshall’s best defensive stunts. It is a stunt with 2 inside LB coming which makes it a 6 man pressure. It will become 5 if the ball is thrown as the DE has the RB to his side. It is an excellent stunt in run situations.
They ran it several times vs JMU when they met.
I love it because it occupies every gap in the run game and they often get the ball spilled to an unblocked LB.
Stunt:
Tackle End runt stunt on both sides:
Away from the back, you are running it hard with the Tackle going first and the DE 2nd. To the side of the RB, The tackle is going no matter what and the DE is more cautious as he has the running back and folding late back inside for cutback. THE DE to the side of the RB also has him in pass so he is not as aggressive on his stunt. The DT to the side of the RB is the QB player in zone read.
Blitz:
Sam off the Edge and Will LB A Gap to the side off the RB. Other Inside away from the running back has C gap and should expect the ball spilled to him due to the run stunt inside.
Adjustments if Pass:
The DE to the side of the back has him in pass coverage
Pass Coverage:
Man free pass coverage
This is a very effective pressure on early downs that was part of Guidry’s aggressive scheme in 2022.
