Jeff Long- Combating RPO`s by Creating the "Same As" Run

Struggling to defend RPO offenses without putting your defense in conflict? What if your players could play fast, aggressive, and still stay sound in every coverage?

In this course, Coach Jeff Long breaks down how to defend the RPO by creating “same-as” run fits across multiple coverages, allowing your defense to stay consistent while disguising structure. You’ll learn how to build a multiple, pro-style defensive system that starts from a two-high shell and rotates into Cover 3, quarters, and match variations, without changing your players’ responsibilities.

Instead of giving the offense easy reads, you’ll discover how to:

• Maintain plus-one numbers in the box while protecting the perimeter
• Use pre-snap disguise and post-snap rotation to confuse quarterbacks
• Eliminate conflict players by keeping consistent run fits across coverages
• Teach defenders to leverage the ball, fit with discipline, and play fast
• Build a system that works across odd and even fronts with multiple personnel groupings

This system creates the illusion of complexity for the offense while staying simple for your players, helping you attack both the run and pass without hesitation.

If you want a defense that can adjust, disguise, and consistently shut down RPO-heavy offenses without sacrificing fundamentals, this course is for you!
