The Monster Defense, Overload Blitzes and Angle Stunts


Coaches and quarterbacks nowadays are exceptional at identifying and exploiting defensive weaknesses. Defenses now, with the rise of spread offenses, often give away their soft spots by how they line up, and the myriad of reads,packaged plays and options make exploiting those weaknesses ever simpler stuff.
