NC State Tony Gibson 3rd down man pressures

On 3rd down, you will see Tony Gibson and his Nc State shift into some 4 hands pressures with man coverage. He can play some zone and man but has shown various 4 and 5 man pressures. Here are 2 4 man pressures with man concepts involved. 

#1

Front-4 man

pressure mike  w a game

Coverage 2 man DE peel for RB


They run a nice game







3rd and 6

coverage man free rat

DE peel rule has rb his way

In the 2nd example the run peel rules but go man free rat.

game:Twist inside

They do a nice job of taking away the mesh with the ILB as he helps on the route as a rat defender. The twist inside gets home and they get the sack.

Nice call on 3rd down getting off the field


In example #2 vs LA Tech

3rd and 6 

they go man free rat. THE ILB gets under the mesh route and takes that away. The DE covers the rb so no place to go with the football in the primary read. Nice design  and understanding of route concepts vs condensed to the boundary.




Vs UNC they ran a nice pressure on 2 different occasions. They bring the safety to the boundary 2x and get home both times on the pressure. In the first example the coverage is man free rat. DE peels with the rb so he take him. LB helps underneath in the man free scheme




You can see how the game gets home.


3rd and 11 va UNC

In the next 2 examples the NC STATE defense will bring the safety to the boundary into the b gap. On both occasions the safety goes untouched. Nice scheme vs 3x1 strong.

Man free Rat

Safety blitz b gap away from the back. 

Nice design and execution as the safety comes unblocked.





3rd and 7 vs UNC
5 man pressure (same as above)
RB motions to empty
Coverage: Man Free
Man free mike goes with rb in empty motion
Safety B gap pressure





These are just a few of the man free pressures NC State runs that have been very effective. He is an outstanding defensive coordinator.
