I love attacking defenses. Ever since watching the Purple Peeps, the Steel Curtain, and the 46 decimate the NFL, I have been an advocate of aggressive defenders.
That stated, all defenses have weak points for exploitation. If I have game film or recognize the defensive scheme, I can scheme an offense to attack those points. The problem is that the offensive skill set may not be able to handle that scheme, and it will fail anyway. There always has to be a balance of playing to your own strengths and the opponent's weaknesses.
A good RPO system or strong armed split offense would be my weakness but that said not many teams we see have a great RPO or pre snap audibles. Like I said it's good for middle school but 50% of HS would beat it so I wouldn't run my defense the way I do at a HS level. I play the run first because 80% of the time it's a run and a lot of those runs consist of sweeps, off tackle and reverse's
You do understand the 4-2-5 was used to combat the spread and rpo. Can you please describe how you run your defense. What gives you troubles vs rpo and spread. Do you have issues with horizontal or vertical. What are the 5 rules for running a blitz. Basic knowledge after all. How do you control the front or back side on your blitz packages what blitz packages do you use from each set and each personnel group. I mean you have to tell me what you run not just a 4-2-5 or 43. Let's see what you do to be so good as DC.
