What you see depends on what you're looking for.

Can someone give me a solid tutorial that runs the G - We haven't seen a G team in years and we found out our opponent week 1 has switched from a 50 team to a G Team.

what is a "G" team? guess i've only faced A through F so I'm not familiar with the "G"...  elaborate on what front/coverages a "G" employs and you likely to get more answers |

What are you looking for coach, the responsibilities vary depending on what version is run, Va Tech runs it different from University of Washington. |

The "G" front I am familiar with, is an inside shade to the TE (6i), outside shade on the guard-TE side(3), inside shade on guard away from the TE(2i), and a wide outside shade on the tackle opposite the TE(5). Typically see Cover 3, with two SS/OLB types responsible for force, and playing the flat. Inside backers play hook to curl.
Other forms of the "G," I've encountered offer two 2i's, a 1/5 look away from the TE, or inside backers lined up 1 yd off the ball. Also, man free, and robber coverages are common coverages that I've seen from teams that play this front.
Don't know if that helps at all..probably not

A lot of modern day 4-2-5's operate very similar to the G.
I know I have an old article about how James and Lambright came up with the G. I'll see if I can't find it.

How I learned it was the "G" indicated the heavy emphasis on gap control. I run a 4-4G defense that is 3 to 1 to the strength with cover 3. The way that I run it is like a 4-2-5 but I teach it so that I don't have to change personnel unless I want to.When we go against a spread we give you a man look but we are playing zone.We want to impede the receivers coming off of the line and quickly get back into our drops. By doing this it throws off the timing of the routes and the QB.

We are a 4-2 team...run allot of cov. 30 vs. 4 wide (Cover 3 to the strong side and man with our WS and CB-We play our weakside LB in a 40 so he can cover pitch vs. option to his side. We mix it up with cover 3 (as well as robber) and cover 1 and 0 when we are sending heat. We do some zone blitz, but if are regular package is getting it done...no sense in showing it until we have to. Of course we would adjust to whatever offense you are running...let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out with.
