2 High Defense

Have you ever heard former Bama QB's in NFL Press Conferences referring to Cover 7?  They are using Nick Saban's language while describing Split Field Man Match Coverage. 

In this course you will find Slides with the notes that I have taken while listening to coaches explain this exceptional coverage.  You will find my interpretation of the notes with some playart to help understand Cover 7.  You will learn about Cones, Brackets, Triangles, and Boxes.  Descriptions of the different tools in this very large toolbox are included. 

You will find notes on Indian, Switch, Outlaw, Bracket, Connie, CC, Stubbie, Seahawk, Hard and Soft Triangles, Cop, Thief, Trooper, Mod, Meg, Mix, Box, Clamp, and Stump. You can use any or all of this for your own team or at the very least learn some really great ideas from the best football coach to have ever done it.

Attached you will find a PowerPoint I have used over the years explaining the technique of playing defensive line.  There are embedded video clips that will help explanation in the classroom and different drills to rep during individual period.  You will find coaching points ranging from stance, aiming points, block recognition, visual keys, gaining separation, and different ways of defending kickouts just to name a few. 

I created this fun and stylish PDF for our 2 Read call.  Included is a long PDF that you can scroll thru with the way we handle different formations with this Split Field coverage.  This downloadable breaks down the assignments for our players based on what the offense is presenting.  This is our version of Palms/Cover 2 or whatever word you want to use for 2 high safety pattern matching defense.  At the top you will see our checks with images that explain our hand signals to determine how we handle different splits of receivers based on the receiving surface we get.  Not only do we include our checks for different flanks but run assignments are included as well. Enjoy.

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 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!
