Coach Daniels Presents

The 33 Odd Stack Defense

Joseph Daniels
Defensive Coordinator
Natomas High School
Sacramento,
Why run the 33 Odd Stack
• Allows us to get BEST 11 athletes on the field
• Flexibility; rush OR drop 8 players
• Easy to teach, techniques are ALWAYS the same
• Creates doubt in the offense due to pre-snap
movement
• The defense promotes aggressive play
• There is no need for a Nickel or Dime package, again
your best 11 are already on the field
• The defense easily morphs into a 4 or 5 man front.
