Player #1 is the MONSTER (should be tall and fast!) - marks straight up all the time. #2 is RIGHT EAR, #3 LEFT EAR, #4 RIGHT MID, #5 MID-MID #6 LEFT MID, #7 DEEP
As play is forced to a sideline, the ear falls back to stop an up the line throw, the MONSTER moves in with a strong force to the side line, RIGHT EAR aims to stop the dump back to O1.
The MONSTER sets straight up as before, with EARS set to stop any handler throw that gains territory, allowing dumps that lose territory in order to protect the upfield space.
Which forces the handlers to move back on the field in order to reset.
Again, Monster marks straight (slight angle to sideline, trusting LEFT EAR 3 to defend the dump to O1 middle, RIGHT EAR helps protect from upline passes
Play resets to middle. Now we introduce the cutters and mid defense - which function the same as a traditional zone, offense tries a horizontal stack.
Play shifts again to sideline, MONSTER and EARS place appropriately, RIGHT MID and MID MID guard players in their space, LEFT MID guards space in case 6 or 7 break inwards
MID MID and LEFT MID can call to each other as to who should be following O6
The MONSTER doesn't get across to mark the thrower (probably tired from all the running!) and O5 gets in a cut into the space left.
Enter step description...
Allowing the O to finally get an upfield pass, but the MONSTER resets and there is no continue. So O5 looks for a dump
play continues with resets as before...
Enter step description...
Enter step description...
Enter step description...
O5 finds a hole in the Monster again
and finds o6 continue, the monster tries to reset the zone...
our deep is on the ball and makes a great D on O4....turning over the play
looks like they are going man!
