There are many ways to call the strength in a defense, number of players, wide side of the field, etc. The progression for our defense will be:
- Number of players, counting from the outside in. 1 being the outside WR, 2 the inside wide receiver (WR), 3 if a running back (RB) is aligned away from the Quarterback (QB).
- Alignment of the RBs
- Wide side of the field.
It is important that all the defensive players understand the strength call, to help with alignment and assignment.
