He starts out the course by speaking on the defensive philosophy he uses. This is important to know because it will bring you insight on philosophies to use with your team, and shows off where the priorities lie with the team.
Then, he breaks into speaking on tackling. He shows off both whiteboard and practice film examples of his pursuit drill. He states it is the first thing they do for their defensive practice to ensure all 11 players are swarming to the ball even after they have taken care of their defensive responsibilities. Then he explains what leverage pursuit is and details 3 key points of it you need to know in order to make a good play on the ball. He uses practice film to break down how to use leverage to your advantage to physically make a better play on the ball, not just the ball carrier.
Next, he breaks down the topic of ball disruption. He does this by showing off multiple drills he uses such as two-man recovery, tomahawk drills, hook and glove, and hook and punch. These are all used and shown to help disrupt the ball from the ball carrier and create turnovers. He uses film to show these drills so they will be easy for you to understand and implement in your defensive practices. He also discusses the importance of stripping the ball and how your team should constantly be trying to get the ball out of the hands of the carrier.
Finally, He breaks down how to properly mirror the QB. He breaks down how to mirror the QB when rushing using 2 different techniques whether you are free or engaged. These will help you to coach your players not to jump to block the ball and get juked out by a basic pump fake. He shows off these two types of mirroring with practice film as well, making it very easy for you to understand and develop with your team.
