This last little informative bit about 3-4 versus cover 2 is far too advanced for me. For instance, perhaps we could start by explaining what the "box" is. I have heard talk of having "8 in the box", but I don't really know what that means. How does 3-4 versus 4-3 work in the "box"?

Please explain the "box" in detail. I need basics here. This is suppose to be football 101 not football 501.

What are gaps? Where are gaps found? Does a gap only refer to the defense or do you have gaps in offense also? It appears that some players have a "2 gap assignment". How many gaps can you add together before something bad happens?

Let's use this as a start. Please define the box and gaps. Thanks.
Gaps would be where a runner can go through For example, this is how my team did it.


8 (O) 6 O 4 O 2 O 1 O 3 O 5 (O) 7


The O's are Linemen.

The (O)'s are TE's / WRs.

On the left side are holes 2-8 (All Even)
On the right side are holes 1-7 (All Odd)
