Our Defensive Gaps will be labeled the exact same way
Defense
• All defenses need to be gap sound (this means
that we should have a specific player assigned to
each of the 8 gaps)
• Every defense has 3 basic levels
– Defensive Front depth is called “Level One” and they
are run first players
– Linebacker depth is called “Level Two” and they are
run first players
– Defensive Back depth is called “Level Three” and they
are pass first players

It is critical presnap to identify how many receivers are on your
side. A defensive backs will call this out every play presnap.
Note: If the end man on the LOS has an ineligible number we
call him fat to teammates and officials. If he has and eligible
number on he is said to be skinny.
