MADDEN EDGE

← Glossary

Over front

Even front shifted to the strong side

An even front slid toward the tight end: the 3-technique tackle lines up on the strong side, outside the guard, with the nose shaded to the weak side.

When it applies

Against run-heavy formations with a tight end; to set a hard edge on the strong side.

+ StrengthsPuts strength where the offense is strong; funnels runs back inside to the linebackers.
− Trade-offsLeaves the weak side a touch light; motion away from strength can expose it.
