StanceStance

On every play each player should use a particular stance. To be able to carry out his assignment, theplayer must distribute his weight properly and place his hands, feet, and eyes in the right position. Wewant our players to play faster than they are, not slower. 4.8s playing 4.5.

Assignment and TechniqueAssignment and TechniqueEvery player has a specific assignment or job on every defense. A player can never leave the huddlewithout knowing his assignment. In reacting to circumstances, the player must learn specific techniques

that allow him to carry out his assignment. We must give constant attention to developing technique intaking on blocks, getting offgetting off blocks, finding the ballblocks, finding the ball and tackling.and tackling.

AlignmentAlignmentEvery player has a precise alignment on each defensive call. In teaching our players alignment, we teachin terms of numbered alignments. We also give specific definitions of each alignment. Players must learnprecise alignments, and we must demand correct alignment on every down. Never Get Beat By

Misalignment.

Key/ReactionKey/ReactionThe eyes control where the body goes, it is important that a player know exactly where his focal pointshould be. He must develop the discipline to direct his eyes so that he will get the proper key. Achievingthis often requires a lot of coaching and repetition. Proper Keying also allows the players to play quickerthan his ability and prevents guessing. The name of the game on defense is reaction. The foundation of

improving our players ability to key and react relies on us putting a player in a situation enough times thathe can make the proper reaction.

ForceForce:: The description of the responsibility for outside leverage on an outside

run. Responsibility for force is designated by:

1) Sky: Safety Force

2) Cloud: Corner Force

3) Backer: Linebacker Force

AlleyAlley:: The description of the responsibility for the middle position between the

force and pursuit.

FoldFold:: The description of the responsibility for inside leverage on an away run.

Assigned to any ball carrier that cuts back to the inside. This assigned

player should be in position to make the play. The Fold player should

always maintain leverage on the ball carrier and adjust angle to the ball.

COVERAGE STRUCTURECOVERAGE STRUCTURECOVERAGE STRUCTURECOVERAGE STRUCTURE

In planning our pass defense in the secondary we have developed a philosophywith definite strategies for specific coverage's. Our defensive philosophy is to

disguise our coverage's to help the secondary gain an advantage. We generate

most all our coverage's from a cover 2 shell to create indecision in the QBs mind.

Such indecision by the quarterback gives the defense an advantage.

This Disguise and Structure of Coverage is critical for various reasons:

Uniformed look to the Quarterback on his pre-snap read.

The ability to play multiple coverages from the same pre-snap look.

No pre-empt to QB that the defense is employing the 8 Man Front mechanics. (QB

less likely to check out of selected run plays because of defensive look).

When you have a 2 deep coverage shell QB cannot locate single coverage by the

defense because of the pre-snap look.

3 Deep Landmarks3 Deep Landmarks3 Deep Landmarks3 Deep Landmarks

We will use 3 Deep Coverage Techniques often. The basic coverageconsists of - Two Hook/Curl defenders and two Curl/Flat defenders. The

deep zones are identified as a strong deep outside third, deep middle

third and weak deep outside third.

Each outside 1/3 starts on the sidelines and will overlap with the deepmiddle zone. The top of the numbers are 9 yards from the sidelines.

Therefore, with the ball in the middle of the field, the landmark of a deep

outside 1/3 is the top of the numbers and 20 yds. deep.

The Deep Middle 1/3 defender must be a seam to seam, goal postdefender. The true midpoint for a deep middle defender is the goal post

and 20 yds deep.

Dividers / Corners Play: 3 DeepDividers / Corners Play: 3 DeepDividers / Corners Play: 3 DeepDividers / Corners Play: 3 Deep

1. Our corners alignment and play in his one-third technique is predicated on

his divider rule, and formation set (single width) or (multiple stand ups).

2. A divider is a specific landmark for each corner that tells him where the

midpoint of his outside one-third is located.

3. If the ball is in the middle of the field, the corners divider (midpoint) is the

top of the numbers (9 yards from sideline).

4. Should the ball be on a hash the far corners divider is five yards above the

numbers (14 yards from sideline/midpoint between numbers and hash). The

near corners divider moves to six and a half yards from the sideline (1/2yard outside; bottom of numbers)

5. These dividers remain constant throughout the play and the corners play off

these in terms of horizontal alignment and actual play as follows

Cover 3Cover 3 -- Deep SeamsDeep SeamsCover 3Cover 3 -- Deep SeamsDeep Seams There are two specific areas of the field which a defense must defend while

playing Cover 3, The Seams. These seams are two points of reference for ourentire pass defense to defend.

They are six yards wide and begin at a point 8-10 yards from the line of

scrimmage. With The ball in the Middle of the field, the seams include the hash

marks and extend horizontally six yards outside each hash mark.

The seams extend vertically down the football field to a depth of 20 yards, this is

also the maximum depth at which a underneath defender is required to defend.

These seams are our weakest areas of coverage vs. four vertical routes, and assuch they are main points of reference. Offenses will threaten the defense here

horizontally and vertically. Therefore we must reroute vertical threats at the

ideal collision point .

The No Cover Zone is an area that extends from the line of scrimmage toa variable vertical depth of down field. The area between the inside

linebackers is identified as The Hole. The area outside the left hash

mark is identified as the The Left Flat. The area outside the right hash

mark is identified as The Right Flat.

This is why our corners must clear the 3 step pass action!
