There’s always a lot of discussion every year about Defensive End technique, specifically for the strong side Defensive End. We’re talking primarily about Even front defenses like the 4-2-5 Defense and the 4-3 Defense. Real quick, let me just say that I call an inside shade on the Tight End a 7 technique, a head up shade a 6 technique, and an outside shade a 9 technique.(note: If you look at my 4-3 Defense book you’ll see that when I’m actually teaching it to the kids I call the inside shade a 6i technique. I do this because all even numbers are head up, all inside shades are the head up number with an “i” to indicate “inside” and all outside shades are odd. But if I’m talking to a coach, I call it a 7, 6, 9 technique because… because for god’s sake, Bear Bryant said it that way and who the heck am I to argue!?)
