The first of the [tag]football defense plays[/tag] works best with quick corners that are able to sprint fast and hold down their territory.   For this play arrange your defensive [tag]linemen[/tag] in a 4-3 formation.   After the snap, the right and left corners play deep thirds while the linebackers shadow the opposing team’s offensive running backs.   The safety is to run straight back, completing a triangular defensive strategy with the corners.   This play blocks the opposing team’s offensive runs in a variety of places, making it difficult for them to break through and earn yardage.
