Giving the DL a Two-Way Go Pass Rush

Here is a simple DL pass rush stunt we call Eyes. 

The End has a two way go on the OT. The DT bull rushes the guard while eying the DE. 

If the DE takes the inside rush the DT will convert to a contain rush lane looping outside the DE.

The left DE takes the inside move and wins inside against the OT's overset and shoulder turn. The left DT eyes the DE while using his hands on the guard to throw and loop to contain.

If the DE stays outside the DT will work a pass rush on the Guard. 

The right DE works an outside speed rush and long arm on the OT. The right DT has good eyes while using this hands on the guard. When the DT sees the DE outside he converts to an inside pass rush with an arm over.

Eyes is a simple stunt that allows the DE the freedom to go win. The DE's only rule is make a decision inside or outside and attack. 

Eyes is a good way to let a good pass rusher go attack. 

4 Man Pass Rush Twist

Here is a variation of a read twist vs. the pass. The DT's are running a read on the center. This is a concept we have called Torch in the past. If you want a full explanation of the Torch stunt click this link. Here is the short version description of Torch. DT's both slant to the Center. Center to you - wrap, Center away - penetrate. 

Here the Center is away to the Nose penetrates. The Center is blocking to the Tackle so the tackle wraps.

When the Center blocks to the Nose, the Nose wraps. The Tackle penetrates with the Center blocking away.

We also have a stunt for the DE's called Eyes. On an Eyes call the DE's read the guard to their side. 

If the Guard is blocking out to the DE, the DE stays in the outside rush lane.

 If the Guard is blocking away from the DE, the DE CAN use an inside pass rush move. The DE is still looking to beat the OT in the fastest pass rush possible. This give the DE a two way go on the OT. 

If the protection is full slide the End will crash hard off the edge, the DE can rush underneath the block of the RB.

When we combine Torch and Eyes we call Take.

TAKE

Left DE - Eyes with Guard Away = Inside pass rush move
Nose - Center away = penetrate
Tackle - Center to = wrap 
Right DE - Eyes with Guard to = Outside Rush

If the slide side was to the defensive left.

Left DE - Eyes with Guard TO = Outside Rush
Nose - Center to = wrap
Tackle - Center away = penetrate
Right DE - Eyes with Guard away = Inside pass rush move

Vs. Full slide protection

Left DE - Eyes with Guard away & OT down = Under the RB, Inside rush lane
Nose - Center away = penetrate
Tackle - Center to = wrap
Right DE - Eyes with Guard to = Outside rush

If the DE got a great takeoff and has the OT beat with speed, the DE may choose to stay outside on the Eyes stunt. As the DT wraps in this case the stunt turns back into a Torch.

Take is an easy way to build on a great stunt like Torch, turning a 2 man read twist into a 3 man pass rush game.
