Inside-out vs Outside-in D

[Baldbass]

Could someone explain the difference between the inside-out defensive philosophy and the outside-in defensive philosophy that has been referred to in another thread?

I assume that is has to do with stunting and gap responsibilities of the DL and the blitz routes and pass coverage of the LBs and DBs.

Roll Tide Roll !!!

Inside-out wants to force the play to the outside. It lets the play develope then the D runs it down. The sideline become a 12th man. It is not very aggressive. The DEs and OLBs have a lot on their shoulders. they must stay square to the LOS and stretch the play as wide as possible. Blockers are attacked with the outside shoulder.

Outside-in simply forces the play back inside. It attacks the play before it has a chance to develope. The OLBs and DEs mostly contain. The Middle guys shut down anything between the tackles. It opens up a lot of games for the front 7. Blockers are attacked with the inside shoulder.

An outside in defense uses outside pressure to force everything back to the middle.
