Anyone here ever play in a 52 Monster defense? For decades it was the most popular defense in high schools and colleges across the nation.
When I have studied Jonathan Gannon’s defense in Philadelphia, what jumps out to me is how often he morphed his base 4-3 into a 52 Monster. This would account, in part, for the reason why OLB Haason Reddick was used to rush off the edge 512 times, which was tied for the highest number of pass rushes on the team with DT Javon Hargrave.
