4 Man Pressures
Pressures are designed to maximize pass coverage while not allowing the QB to have enough time to be comfortable. All Hot Routes should be accounted for as you have 4 or 5 players in the underneath zones. Blitzes will involve bringing any 1 of the 4 linebackers or any member of the secondary. The 3-4 scheme allows a 4 man pass rush to be effective because the offense does not know where the 4th man is coming from 4 Man Pressures allow for more options in coverage

5 Man Pressures
Pressures are designed to overload the offensive line and get to the quarterback quickly Blitzes will involve bringing any combination of our 4 man pressures, with some additional options We will expect the ball to be thrown quickly from a QB under pressure, this creates multiple opportunities for turnovers We must rally to any completed Hot routes, never allowing them to turn into a big play Most of these are played using a 3 deep concept You must also be aware of vulnerabilities to certain formations such as 3x1 or Empty & be willing to adjust

Blitzing 3 x 1 Sets
Anytime the offense aligns in a 3 x 1 set, the LB and End from the trips side cannot both blitz In these cases you must adjust by either switching the responsibilities of LBs or Ends (Rush LB now hot on #3, Coverage LB now rushes), or bringing your pressure from the single WR side. Anytime you run a blitz from the single WR vs. 3x1, you must decide how you want to match coverage. 1. You can overload the 3 WR side with a Safety & End in
Coverage, leaving the backside corner without help 2. You may bring the Safety down to single WR, leaving LBs to cover skill players to Trips side.
