The 2nd part of Coach Coltharp's defensive course is a winner. It will help you get people off the field and your offense back out there. A great integration of attack philosophy in all parts of the game.

Just like Course 1 of the Dog Soldier Defense, the simplicity of it is really what I appreciate. I like that you can send pressure from all over the field but the offense has no idea where it's coming from because the defense is always giving them the same look. Regardless of what pressure you are sending, you stay solid against the run and pass. Once again, great job and great course by Coach Coltharp

I love the POD concept. So, you keep a group strong and the other weak side supporting each is half of that side of the line. Great ideas to simplify my 3-5-3 defense and loved the Navy Seals terms throughout the defense.
