3-3-5 Defense

Creating pressure as a defensive coordinator can be one of the best things to create turnovers. In this course, Head Coach Mike Moon talks about his blitzes and pressures from the 3-3-5 defense. He includes formations and game film that covers 3, 4, & 5 man pressures. 

Coach Moon emphasizes coaching the person first then the player. As an example, he states that you want the guys who will run through a wall for you, then it does not matter what type of defense you play. Building a relationship with the people on the team allows you to build trust and know where everyone belongs on the field. He also discusses the importance of learning the defense, or in other words, memorizing the scouting report. They need to know the assignment, alignment, and execution that coincides with the defense's objectives and goals.

He delivers an extensive report on the 3-3-5 Defense utilizing a Nose Tackle and 2 Defensive Ends, then 3 Linebackers, and 5 Defensive Backs. He even tells you what kind of players should play each slot and shows off versatility between each position. It is a gap sound defense where every gap is always covered. Coach Moon takes you through the different X's and O's for all kinds of formations you will see using the 3-3-5 Defense. He breaks down the base against doubles, trips, TE trips, nasty twins & TE/Wing. Coach also reveals how they call plays in a no-huddle defense. He first makes a call to the line and expresses that it must always be correct. Then he makes a call to the Line Backers (there are 7 different options). Then he makes a blitz call with different types of options. He uses specific language when calling the blitz so he can call them based on position, side, or combos. He even makes directional blitz calls and shows off the blitzes against doubles and trips. 

Coach shows off film on his 4 man pressures. In his  5 man pressures, they will either be in cover 0 or cover 1. He breaks down the X's and O's for his 5 man pressures. He reveals 7 different types of coverage you need to run this season.
