Play calling / reading the offense
As defensive players or coaches, do you read the offense on the other side of the ball as if you were on that offense, or do you read it according to how you see it from the defensive side? For example, this pic below, offensively speaking, we would read this as Tump Right, Sidecar Right, Pro Left.... but defensively speaking, it could/shoulder be read as Trump Left, Sidecar Left, Pro Right.

For defensive coaches it’s easier reading it from the defence’s perspective, this way it eliminates any confusion when designing gap schemes/stunts/coverages especially in high school and junior level

Stack Front
What are some recommendation for steps in a head up/stack front to avoid bubbling?

Try attacking the tackles shoulders where they’re set before the snap of the ball and use that as a reference (depending on which gap you have) Because depending on the pass protection, he’s either going to post inside to take away the inside gap or ventricle set with and inside hand. If you use those landmarks I think you’ll have more success in your pass rush and less bubbling

Hit that stunt on your third step and press the tackle more vertically first. RT takes one actual kick and then settles because he sees you aren’t threatening in your rush. I also dislike how badly your LB just loops around you without even trying to sell the stunt so that doesn’t help. But yeah, there’s no real threat in this play.

If you know he’s an aggressive puncher doing a cross chop or two hand swipe are always a good option. If you can tell immediately, a pull through or forklift (high hands/low hands) will work beautifully. And if you want to get fancy, a spin move works great as well.
