I was looking at some man blitz cut-ups from Arizona State and saw a couple of variations that were really different from anything I had looked at before. After watching a number of the clips, I think I have some idea of what was going on.
Starting with a 4-3 Defense, the End slides down and the Nose goes to head up, creating a sort of Bear front look. You can do any number of things with these guys, but in one variation the two 3-techs are working to the TE side (so the weak 3 is going to A-gap, the strong 3 to B-gap). The Nose is going to twist with the weak 3.The Will Backer will walk up in a weak 5-tech and come off the edge. It would make sense that he has blitz peel, though I don’t know that I ever saw him do it. This means that if the back flares to his side, he will break off his blitz and pick up the back man to man.
