A 1 technique is any shoulder shade of the "center" not the guard. What you were describing is a "2i" or G technique. Those techniques are when you are aligned on the inside shoulder of the guard.
Nice job noticing that detail! Every coach has their own wrinkle to suit the scheme they’re using. Some use a 2i and others don’t. We teach the center as a 0 to build the fundamental understanding of the alignments. Once they’re in camp, they’ll easily be able to adjust to whichever technique their coaches use.
Thank you for making this video this will help my son as a D-line nose guard with changing directions this is a prefect video
Happy to help! Best of luck to your son this season.
