GLR defense

Moving this to its own thread so it’s easier to find.
Been talking to Charlie. He seems open to a slight, reasonable modification to the GLR defensive guideline to ensure 3DL are allowed. Only updates to existing guideline are in bold.
Goal Line Run
Minimum player requirements: 3DLs-4LBs; 4DLs-3LBs; 5DLs & 2LBs; 6DLs & 1LB & 7DLs & 0LBs.
No more than 4DBs allowed.
Other requirements:
At least 6 Players (ANY) must have RUN FOCUSED defense, which includes ‘Reads’.
At least 6 Players (all DL and ANY other) must defend the LOS.
Basically we can allow 3DL GLR because the requirement of 6 players defending the LOS and 6 players executing run focused defense ensures a majority of the players try to stop the goal line run. With 4 LBs required for a 3 DL GLR, it still has a lot of ‘beefy’ players too.
