STRIKER (STR)
- The "finisher" role when in attack
- 1-2 will provide link-up with AM; potentially making contact with ball carriers/passers
- 1-2 will maintain stretch in pitch (get to att 23 as soon as ball is won), force opp to defend the entire pitch
- All 3 will defend as a unit, forming a wall (on slant) and first wave of press when called
- Form a screen when defending deeper, not allowing time on pass to enter def 23
- ALL: Strong on ball, good ball carrier at speed, willing to take the game on but also knowing when to stall/stop play
