Coach Art discusses two basic strategies of defensive lineup for dedicated rushers, rushing "wide" or "tight." Wide rushers typically split the difference between the sideline and Center, with a goal of cutting off rushing lanes for rollout QBs or working in tandem with another rusher. Useful when playing in screen blocking leagues, less so where Offenses typically leave the QB in an empty backfield. Tight rushers line up on the Center's shoulder and rush straight upfield to obstruct the QBs vision, disrupt timing on short middle routes, and force a poor rushing QB to abandon the pocket.
