1 High Defense

Teach the fundamentals of pursuing the football, the most important aspect of playing team defense.  Learn run assignments while conditioning in practice.  This simple video gives your team a visual of how the pursuit drill should be run and what angles are necessary to play solid team defense.  Identify who your force player is and who is supporting him.  Teach kids what the near hip is of the ball carrier.  Run fits...get after it!

Recently updated:  This course shows the responisbilities we assign to our overhang players when the #2 receiver is attached/in the backfield and detached from the core.

The first video applies for when #2 is a tight end, wing, or in the backfrield...This is a video we made to help explain assignments and how our reading the End Man on the Line of Scrimmage drill operates. This video shows what they execute based on the different reads they make.  I show this video to my 3 safeties (4-2-5 and 3-3 structures) but can be used for other schemes as well.  What do you do when you get a pass read?  What about a run to you or away?  This video is a great tool for the classroom for players to learn before going out on the field to make your drill time more efficient.

I recently added the other scenario.  What do you do when you are an overhang player aligned to a slot receiver that is not attached to the formation's core?  The 2nd video details the different routes our overhangs face, as pass players first, as well as their run assignment.

I have been running the attack style of the 3-3 Stack Defense for many seasons.  I have used it both as the entire scheme for my team as well as a supplementary package. This course offers everything you need to implement the attack style version of this odd front that makes offenses tremble.  RUN THE STACK!

Use this course's video to teach safe and effective tackling.  I have cutup different video clips to assemble a one stop shop for teaching youth tackling.  This video includes the approach, different tackling situations, and the finish of each.  Get better at coaching the fundamentals of tackling the ball carrier, necessary for any great defense!

This PowerPoint packages a defense that is both multiple and easy to learn.  It details how to present different fronts and what coverages to play behind them.  Give it a look, I think that is an interesting way of getting to a common goal of many defensive coordinators...how to present different looks to the Offense while not being overcomplicated for your players so they can play fast and physical.

This video is the perfect tool for both novice and experienced secondary coaches.  I have coached defensive backs for a decade on top of my own playing career.  This is a teaching tool for my coaches, players, and great for me to review before heading out on the field to help with coaching points and simply spacing out specific drills.  When I identify a team need I check back to this video to see how to satisfy it.  "Scratch where it itches."  Within this course, you will be able to organize your individual period for the entire summer and season.  The video includes warmup drills, turnover drills, everyday footwork drills, ball breaks, tracking, tackling, man coverage, zone coverage, and other agility drills for both Cornerbacks and Safeties.  I spent most of Covid's Quarantine compiling both College and High School tape to assemble this.  You will not be disappointed!

This simple resource has a clean digitally created video explaining the Power play and how a Spill Defense defends it.  Using the GoArmy Edge football app, the video explains what the assignments are for the Offense and what the coaching points are for the defense to defend the play.  Great, clean visual to show your team on how to stop one of football's most popular gap scheme run plays.
