NCAA Football Defensive Strategy: Linebacker

04:07 PM - July 29, 2008 by RaychelSnr

Noah Weber checks in this week in a continuation of his defensive strategy series. This week Noah takes a look at playing the linebacker position in NCAA Football.

Quote:


	"Your goal as a run-stopper is to pick the right gap and plug it. Depending on which LB spot you pick (middle, left outside, right outside), as well as your assignment for the play, you will have a greater responsibility to defend certain gaps. Think about where your player needs to be to ensure that his duties are accounted for while still affording you the opportunity to make a play."

Good write-up, maybe I can try playing a Linebacker again in Campus Legend. I was way to aggressive and just rushing in and getting blocked, so maybe this will make it more enjoyable.

One thing I always try to do is look at how the OL is blocking...if they are coming up towards me I know it's a run and if I'm in a zone on that particular play I can recognize the play better and react faster.

Great write-up...too many people want to be Safeties, I think Linebackers are for team players who don't mind plugging a hole so someone else can have the tackle. People who want to be safeties are always looking for the big hit or a pick...
