Quote:RDE isn't always the best at run stuffing and is more of a passrusher, maybe the better option is to flip the ends on this type of formation (in our defense)  So that we have a big end playing RDE and holding the edge so the RB gets funneled inside.

 

Personally, I would not do this. Put the Big End on the Strong Side so that he can at least hold the point against a double team. If you coach the Little End to get up field, his presence alone will affect the RB. He's not really there to make a tackle, just to affect the play. The Mike LB is going to be coming downhill hard once he spies the handoff. Remember, you don't need to make every play a loss of yards as an Offense cannot survive on two yard gains. Third Down and six is very similar to Third and fourteen in the eyes of the Offensive Coaches.
