Great Defensive LinemenGreat Defensive Linemen Maintain Body Leverage
The goal is to keep your helmet below theoffensive linemens helmet the entire play
In reality, some players struggle to
consistently play with this body position They must learn when to drop their pad level
This is leverage control Timing your pad level for effective contact and control
Pad level can be trained Box Squats, Hurdles, Duck Walk, Stadium Stairs

Defensive Line PhilosophyDefensive Line Philosophy We are going to make the offense earn every
block and every yard by: Attacking work to the heels of the offensive line
and spill all kick-out blocks
Escaping recognize the blocking scheme and getout of their line of fire
Pursuing make the tackle if your gap is threatened
or chase into the line of scrimmage with relentless
effort if it is not threatened
Tackling finish every play involved in the tackle
(Drive Stop, TFL, SACK, first hit/assist, FF, FR)
