33 Umbrella

33 Umbrella

Philosophy- The 33 umbrella is a very aggressive gap control attacking style defense with very little read and react. This defense lives on the fact that every look is unique to the offense by simple rules of alignment. The 33 also allows certain positions the freedom to do different things without having to communicate to the rest of the team. The 33 requires very intelligent players who can recognize formations and tendencies on the fly. Ninety percent of all coverage's are man up cover 1. Seventy five percent of all snaps will bring 3-5 defenders directly at the offense. Twenty five percent of all snaps will bring up to 7 defenders directly at the offense. Blitzing is disguised by delays and taps. The 33 is a very difficult defense to block consistently because of all of the movements. A great 33 defense will rarely show the same look in any given series of plays but still allows very sound football. Sameness is death to this defense. The biggest attribute as a whole is the 33 umbrellas ability to be flexibility on the fly and is a very easy teach. Real simple, real effective.
