Read-Out Pressures: A Simple Answer to Empty Sets

Description

Build a clear plan for attacking empty formations.

In this course, I break down the read-out pressure package we use against empty sets—from the initial alignment to the reads, coverage rules, and adjustments that make it work.

The idea is simple: show six potential rushers, force the protection to make a decision, and use the offenses reactions to determine who rushes and who drops.

The course includes 14 lessons, approximately 43 minutes of instruction, and nine film examples. We look at what works, what needs correcting, and the coaching points behind each situation.

Designed for defensive coordinators and position coaches looking to add a practical pressure answer to empty formations.

Jonas Lohmann

An outstanding course that delivers exactly what coaches are looking for: practical, detailed, and immediately applicable coaching content. The breakdown of the read-out pressure package against empty formations is excellent, especially the way it connects pre-snap alignment, protection reactions, coverage rules, and post-snap adjustments into one clear system. Whether you're a defensive coordinator looking to expand your pressure package or a position coach wanting to better understand the details behind it, this course provides tremendous value. Highly recommended for any coach looking to become more creative, detailed, and effective in attacking empty formations. Definitely worth the time!
