Teaching Points (Goaline Defense—-Scooby Dooby Do)

Here is a breakdown of a recent goaline stop by the defense:

  • Double TE, Power I Formation Off-Set Left—-RB (David Johnson #31), FB (Derrick Coleman #48), off-set left H-Back (Gabe Holmes #85)—LTE (Ricky Seals-Jones #86) next to LT D.J. Humphries (#74).
  • This is a basic off-tackle FB isolation on RILB (Scooby Wright #56).
  • Pre-snap observation—-the offensive line looks uneven in their stances and their splits look a little too tight. Yes, you don’t want your splits to be too wide for fear of easy penetration, but when they are too small, it tends to narrow the box for the RB.
