What was awkward at first became the system for Manny Diaz that he has worked at all his stops since it’s come out.  He believes in it so much that he’s made sure that it has been. N this presentation, Coach Diaz will teach you to coach your players like he would coach his own son.

The entire progression and how it materializes in games.

As background, this was implemented by Coach Diaz in 2014.  After spring practice they watched all tackle opportunities in the summer from that spring session. He said to his coaches, “Give me your clinic talk on how to tackle.”

What they found was eye-opening.  The old “form tackle” just didn’t occur that often. After this exercise, they adopted the Hawk tackle. It’s an easier way to tackle because this is how it presents itself in the game even when it’s not perfect.

Learn the entire system as Coach Diaz presents it to his players so that your players can tackle better and more importantly self-correct when it doesn’t happen right.

The Need for Quick Passing Game

Coach Mohns noted that in recent years, they’ve observed a decline in completion percentages, which he attributed to the fact that they weren't calling a lot of quick game anymore. Defenses started to get better at defending RPOs, taking away gift routes and easy completions. This has forced the offense into more shot plays down the field and one-on-ones. 

To counter this, he decided to focus on creating easy throws for their quarterbacks to get into a rhythm and bring back some built-in adjustments to man coverages.

Benefits of Quick Passing Games

#1) Get the ball in your playmaker's hands effectively and efficiently: Quick passing games involve higher percentage throws for your quarterbacks when you're not pushing downfield. This allows you to get the ball to your playmakers more quickly and efficiently.

#2) Great built-in answers to pressure: Quick passing games help you avoid having to worry about picking up six and seven-man pressures. Instead, you can throw the ball to beat the bullets and keep your quarterback in the game.

#3) Simple and easy progressions: Quick passing games have simple and easy progressions for your quarterbacks, making it easier for them to execute the plays.

#4) Versatility: Quick passing games can be easily dressed up and disguised to keep your opponents guessing. You can use window dressing to make your schemes look different while keeping the progression the same for the quarterback.

#5) Ideal for open down calls and first and 10 and second along calls: When building your game plan, quick passing games can show up consistently on your game plan, providing you with more options to outsmart your opponents.

If you are looking to add production to your offense with a highly efficient passing game, then this course will help you. Coach Mohns shares diagrams with assignments, and multiple quick game concepts with practice and game film.

Red Zone Bracket & Adjustments

What is a Red Zone Bracket? 

Bracket coverage is used to provide double coverage on a single receiver . Brackets come in a number of different forms, and they're used for a variety of reasons. The starting point for bracket coverage is to begin with its place in football. The two main coverages in football are zone and man. 

The two types of bracket coverage are the “Under/ Over” commonly known as the vertical bracket and the “In/Out” coverage known as the horizontal bracket. There are positive effects to implementing the bracket coverage. It gives the defensive coordinator the ability to have a wide receiver on double coverage, resulting in eliminating a mismatch, in addition to having leverage on deep routes. 

The “Under/Over” Bracket

One defensive player uses a tactic called trail technique to cover below breaks from the inside or outside while another player provides deep support from above. Vertical brackets is the name. A wide receiver is stuck between two defenders. One player remains low and in front, while the deep player remains high and in the end. 

The “In/Out” Bracket

On a wide receiver, this particular bracket gives horizontal leverage to the defense. One defensive player will cover him from the inside out while the other will work from the outside in. This kind of coverage is simple to conceal and mislead, essentially could be used on any receiver. 

A good defense may bend, but it won't break!  To be successful with that philosophy, third down and red zone success are critical

Jeff Long- Bear Front: Building Sims and Pressures

Develop base & pass concepts

What are pass concepts? 

Pass concepts are a variety of route combinations run by wide receivers, Running backs and tight ends. Many of which can be incorporated in run pass options. Passing concepts are designed to get a defender to bite on a route, allowing the receiver to run behind and make a big play, If not the receiver would look to catch a pass underneath. Also known as the anchor passing concept. 

What is the Run n Shoot system?

The Run and Shoot system uses a formation consisting of one running back and usually four wide receivers. The run and shoot offense is a flexible offense that can adjust "on the fly," with the receivers constantly changing their routes in response to defensive coverage and the play of the defensive players in front of them

The philosophy of the run n shoot is a counter based passing offense that is built on route. They must make adjustments to take advantage of every coverage's weakness. Spread out the defense to identify front, coverage and pressure. Essentially forces the defense to defend the entire field.

It’s like the Bruce Lee quote. “Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves”.Your offense becomes like water and takes the form it needs to to defeat your opponent. A concept practiced and incorporated with success.

The Money Down

You’ve heard it time and time again,” third down is the money down”. This applies to either side of the ball however converting third downs can have a demoralizing effect on your defensive unit. 

You’ll find that 3rd downs are very often the most important down for the opposing team and your defense because they both have the most to gain and lose. Not succeeding to stop a 3rd down is crucial, especially late in the game. If you do, that means an offense will face 4th down, and likely be forced to punt the ball back to their opponent or settle for a field goal attempt.

If the 3rd down is the primary weakness of your defensive unit, teams will target and exploit them. Making it impossible to convert and keep possession. There is no secret that solid third-down defenses are one of the most important aspects of a championship-caliber team.

 5 things in 5 Seconds

Success on the field can be determined within the first 5 seconds of a snap. 

The average play is 5 seconds long and you must accomplish these 5 things no matter what the call is, no matter what position you are in.

The “55” is universal. It is a Blue Devil’s mantra.  It is representative of not only how they attack the game, but life. It is one of the main pillars of David Cutcliff’s culture at Duke, and it is preached by his coaching staff and lived by his players.  

What are these 5 things that must happen every 5 second play? Here they are:

• Alignment- As a defensive player, generally the captain yells out adjustments and the remaining players align themselves accordingly and it's crucial to the play's success.

• Assignment- Each player has a designated assignment that they must obtain. Failing to do so can lead to the offense taking advantage of the let down.

• Effort- No play can be successful without effort. It's tremendously important to give everything you have on every down and every snap. 

• Execution- Successfully completing the top 3 will not only benefit the individual but the team as a whole. It leads to opportunities for teammates. Collapsing the pocket, making the QB scramble, force a bad throw etc. 

• Finish- Coaches preach about always finishing the play until the whistle blows. Make the tackle, get a sack, force a fumble, force an interception or incomplete pass. 

Among the “55 philosophy” there are many drills that can help your defense line execute the 5 things in 5 seconds. From blocking techniques to pass rush game film and Inside/outside reads. Introducing Benjamin Albert!

Situational Awareness - Increas Your Team's Football IQ

What is situational awareness in Football? 

Situations come in various types of forms, from entering the red zone and your short on yardage to a first down inside your own three yard line. You could have your offense come out in a bad field position, you could face a screen trick play and you need to know how to adjust, or it's a 4th down and you want to impose your will on the opposing team. 

Perhaps it's overtime and you need to be understanding of the rules. Maybe the two minute offense where you need a field goal or touchdown but you have no timeouts? Or you're pulling out the hail mary offense out of desperation and it's the last play of the game?

Unique scenarios in football are inevitable. There are different football scenarios that occur during the game. When those situations happen, the team must adapt its play and react appropriately.

There are two approaches to this.  You can wait until they happen and teach based on that...OR you can start teaching those and make them a part of your team's collective Football IQ.

Create situational awareness for your team and be ready when the time presents itself.

Gap Sound Run Pass Option

Create versatility in your offense by implementing a gap sound run pass option. 

What is a Run Pass Option? 

Commonly referred to as ( RPO ), the concept gives the quarterback the ability and option to give the ball to either the running back or pass to the receiver. While this takes place, it's the offensive line's duty to block as if it's a running play which ultimately puts pressure on the defense to either play the run or the pass.

The term gap sound means that the defenders in each gap are accounted for. Coach Dearmon does not like his quarterback to be exposed to taking a hit on an RPO because a defender was unaccounted for.

Run Pass Option vs Read Option

It's a common misconception that run pass options are the same as read options. 

RPO’s rely on the quarterback to make reads on the linebacker to either hand it or throw it, as the offensive line blocks the run. While the read option generally has the offensive line block in one direction or zone as the quarterback reads the defensive end to give or keep it himself. 

Take your team to the next level by incorporating RPO’s into your system.

Special Team Fundamentals

Special Teams serve an important role in a football team. They have the responsibility to set both the offense and defense up by winning field position. Both offensive and defensive players have their separate roles on special team units. It is their duty to maintain good field position for their offense in addition to giving the opposing team the worst possible field position, thus making it harder for them to score. Special teams performance, and especially punt performance can highly impact team success.

What are the fundamental drills?

They are the root foundation of effective special team players. It's the basics executed with a better understanding. For any team there should be separate drills for each kick off coverage and punt teams as well as the punt return and kickoff return teams. Beginning with footwork, strategy and execution, fundamental drills such as the Stick-dip-replace can elevate a player's effectiveness.

D-Line fundamentals & Technique 

“A good defensive lineman has to be part buffalo and part ballet dancer.”

In order for that to happen, there must be two things in place: proper fundamentals and technique. Without the two you’ll have straight concrete poles as your defensive line. Incorporating the basics and techniques necessary to succeed will allow you to develop the buffalo that can stop the run and the ballet dancer who comes off the edge with athleticism and speed to beat the blocker and sack the quarterback.

What are the fundamentals & techniques for defensive linemen?

Practicing fundamentals like block destruction, tackling, identity and takeaways can greatly enhance a player's abilities to impact a game. The number one objective is to stop the run. Less than three yards a carry, that's the goal. 

Technique goes a long way. Starting from your launch/ gett off time to your ability to have proper use of hands and feet. A buffalo can explode off the line and make their opponent step back. A ballet dancer can maneuver off the edge with graceful footwork and fast hands.

It's important to create an identity and set a mentality for your line. You want violence out of your line, intimidate the opposing team. Swarm the opposition with relentless pursuit, collapse the pocket with ease. And most importantly, love what you do and do it as a group.

Setting the Standard

What is the standard? 

Creating a culture or setting the tone for your ball club can commonly be referred to setting the standard. It's a motto that not only you but your teammates pledge by. In unison. Dan Quinn said “The standard is not easily maintained but each man is mentally tough, filled with resilience and surrounded by a brotherhood that will push him to be the very best he can be”.

Why is a standard important? 

It's vital to an organzations or football team's success that they have a standard. A rule of living, code of behavior, code of honor or touchstone. Without it, there is no structure. No one to hold one another accountable for their actions. You’ll hear it often. “It's a brotherhood, it is our responsibility to make sure that we pass on this standard to all new teammates to ensure that the proud tradition and reputation we have started continues”. It's a way of living that begins from ownership all the way to its players. The state of the standard is that you always give it one hundred percent. 

Whatever you accomplish, you accomplish as a team. In order to accomplish anything as a team, there must be a standard set. Everyone’s connected to one another. In order for a player to make an interception, the defensive line must’ve created pressure. There is no I in team. 

There is no one else who understands more than the Dallas Cowboys very own, Dan Quinn. He has developed a method that helps you set the standard within your team. How to create success from within, Introducing,

Defensive run fits in multiple fronts

What is a run fit? 

One thing is certain, defensive alignments are the most important when utilizing run fits. To comprehend run fits, we must first understand what a run fit is. A run fit is when a defensive lineman and/or linebacker enter a gap to prevent a running back from running through it. If the running back is moving side to side, he is not gaining yards, which allows the defense to get to the ball.

Single gap run fits are the most common. They require each defender to focus on one gap. The defensive line is shaded toward the gap they will control, while the linebackers line up in the gap they will control.

To understand run fits, we must understand how gaps are created. Defensive players on any team will assign each player a specific gap to cover. Run fits are the defensive's communication of who is to cover what gap. That's how solid run defense is achieved!

Run fits can be implemented with various fronts. From the single gap, two gaps to 3-4 schemes. Plus many more. You can elevate your run defensive by simply incorporating this technique. Introducing Colorado Assistant Coach Bryan Cook,

Stopping the downhill run

What is the 3-4 Tite front and why has it gotten so popular?

Offenses across the country have developed their game and defenses are following steadily. The tite front is defensive coordinators answers to offensive coordinators’ run pass option game that has taken over the game.   

Teams professionally as well as collegiate have implemented this front with success. 

Otterbein assistant head coach and defensive coordinator Allan Moore has utilized it as well, running it for over a decade. He's developed the answers and wrinkles you need to shut down offenses successfully.

It effectively makes it difficult on the offensive line to execute their scheme. One of an offensive coordinator's main priorities is how to get the ball in the end zone the fastest, which is north and south. The goal of the Tite front is to plug up the inside gaps and force offenses to run laterally before they get downhill.

There are many benefits of this formation. In a Tite front, the B gaps are closed. The gaps that are open are the C gaps outside the offensive tackles. This allows Linebackers to have time to commit to stopping the downhill run thus taking them out of conflict. It also works with multiple coverages.

Implement this technique with Allan Moore’s
