Ready to take your defensive line to the next level? In this video, we break down the Bump and Under shifts to help solidify your edges and give yourself a definite C Gap presence.
The presenter in our video is Brian Nix, Head Coach at Alcoa High School in Tennessee. The video is a portion of his Tite Front System that can be found on Glazier Drive.
This specific segment is from his video: Bump, Mint, and Under.
A few of our Takeaways
- Bump is a call that they use frequently in their defense.
- The defensive linemen move one full gap to the next adjacent gap.
- They can call bump left or bump right.
- Purpose is to give their defense a more solid edge.
- Also gives them a true C Gap presence, and it allows the defensive end to be more decisive.
- Bump opens the B gap, but changes the fits so that one of the linebackers is now the B gap defender.
- The linebacker reads do not change in bump from their base Tite Front defense.
- Under is one of the most frequent calls that Coach Nix makes.
- The only difference between bump and under is that in "Under" the nickel will walk up to the line of scrimmage.
