Anchor a double team
DefenseTechniqueDTNT
What it is
Absorb both blockers, hold ground and refuse to be displaced, keeping two men occupied.
Why it matters
The least glamorous and often the correct answer: if the nose holds the double, a linebacker runs free. Success is measured by displacement, not by making the tackle.
Also called
Programs call this hold the point or anchor. The Coach answers to any of them.
