3 TECH~IOUE: He needs to be a bigger and well muscled type of kid. Inthis defense, everything. starts with quickness'. However, the 3 TECHbecomes a key factor versus' inside run. I look for a weight room body. Ilike a kid who loves to build- his body, especially his lower body.

9 'TECHNIQUE: This is our best, athlete~, He needs to have the total'package. Height at this position is a' definite plus,

MAC: This position requires sorrie size. Height is not an issue; neither isspeed. He must be able to physically handle the fullbacks on your '

WILL: This' kid will show up in many shapes and sizes. 1 look for onething: A passion to get to the football. That' is not something you coach .

. "This kid "is my quarterback. He understands the game:' He 'must have the, ability to check audibles and keep you in the best situations defensively." "."SA M: He must' possess the qualities necessary to play LB with one addeddimension: a greater ability to run. His touqhness may need to benurtured. He must, however, be willing to' run and hit.

SIS AND WIS: These two players' are interchangeable. They are reallyLB's who again possess a greater ability to run, In 'addition, they must ,begood tacklers. Remember in this defensive scheme, the safeties aretypically not accounted for in the blocking scheme. Obviously, we wanour better athletes at these positions.

CORNERS: These kids are man guys. I want as much speed andquickness as you can .find at this position. Do not. worry about toughness.That must be nurtured. I like track guys and basketball guys. Remember,you cannot coach speed. You must recruit it.

Remember, these' are some guidelines that have worked for us. This is notan exact science. It is probably safe to say that you will have a few kidsout of position, especially early in the season. Study your film and talk toyour playersabouttheir coni fort zone. By game #3, you need to have yoursquare pegs plugged in. Then just keep doing what you've been doing .

EACHING THE SPLATTER

My research on offensive theory and philosophy has led me to one majorconclusion. Defenses become ineffective when they fail to dose the edgeversus any down block scheme. Therefore, it is imperative that wedevelop a defensive concept that addresses. this number one concern. Inaddition, I must stress that until we can effectively and consistently defeatthe down block schemes, every thing else is immaterial.

Understand that this technique will be a radical change to what you arepresently doing with your down guys. This technique encourages anaggressive take-off. We want these down kids to attack and react. Unlikemost techniques, we do not want any contact with the offensive linemanversus a down block. Rather, we want the defensive player to run the footline of the offensive lineman.

<>.

. .".. . .'

'... ".,", ..

·ALIGNMENT. . . .

.In order to promote the urgency to close the edge,a1l four down guys willalign in a tilted position. Aligriment will vary from player to player. Twobasic rules prevail: 1) Get as much of the ball as you possibly can; 2~leverage the outside shoulder of your offensive key.

STANCE

We want the inside foot back and the inside hand down. This 'alignmentand foot position allows the player to step down with his first step. Withoutside foot back, a cross-over step would be required to accomplish the

.:down move.

KEY (TRIGGER)

We read the near foot of the offensive man. In our way, of: thinking, theoffensive lineman's near foot will tell us everything we need to know.When the foot goes inside, we are screaming. We teach our kids to expectthe down block In addition, we get our focus off the ball, off the cadence,and off any other distraction.

The Screamer Drill gets the defensive lineman in anattackattitude, TIiat is' critical for me. In addition, italso allows the coach to work with different anatomicalproblems that you will find with every kid. Flexibility;visfon;: size.rete, willchangetheallgnmentof each kid.

All of our down people, except for the nose, use these basic techniques. Their relativedistance from ·the ball relates to the speed or time things occur.

Throughout my, IS years coaching linebackers, we have read guards, FB's, both backs anany other key. The concept that I will present is by far the best that I have found. The keto this drill and the success of your linebacker play is the involvement of the safeties. In'our,way of thinking, we play with FIVE LINEBACKERS NOT TIIREE. The overallthought process is one of remove and replace. The ~B never worries about what is behindhim. Cutback is not his problem. This is a,critical coaching point. It promotes aggressiveplay! We 'want them running to the point of attack. '

My early reluctancein playing the 4-3 centered around the three bubbles in the defense,Incorporating this drill and the reads associated with the drill removed any doubt aboutthe defense being soft. .

In order to set upthe Barrel Drill, you will need 4 garbage cans and 8:-10players. Our back-ups provide the personnel for the drill .. The second's get about 20% of the drin time. (2 or3 .reps to 10 reps for the starters) ','The cans represent theposition of thedownIineman,

'.They createexceflentIandmarks fortherunninglaries. ·We.donotuse a ban and we goonthe movement of the TE. The Coach points out the movement to the offensiveplayers.

The S, M, W, and W/S read the path of the FB.. The S/S reads the TE for block and thenreacts to flow. We want to splatter the FB as deep as possible.

The third drill that we work on is called the CORNER DRILL. We teach Man Techniqwith our cornerbacks from day one. The three techniques we teach are PRESS, BAIL anOFF.. OFF is our base coverage. However, most of the coaching time is spent working on '.PRESS because that is the toughest thing to master . .All summer, we want toplay press. During the season, we probably play press 20% of the time.

In all of these techniques, our focus is the extended receiver. Our primary mind-set is totake away the deep "all. Secondly, we do not allow any-yards after the catch. We tell ourcorners never expect anyh~]p! You have one man to defend. 'Cet the job done.

The first phase of the Corner Drill is about positioning on your man. We do not use aball. Werotate4-5 corners irr this drill. .

THOUGHTS ON TACKLING

I think that most coaches would agree that effective tackling is the key to any defense. Theproblem is how' you implement the techniques of tackling and how you maintain thatsharpness throughout an extended season. Let's face it, you only have a certain number ofplayers. The good ones play "NICKED-UP." That's a reality of the game. As coaches, weneed to find a balance between the technical skills and. the brutality of the game. In 1991, Imade a conscience effortto limit the amount of full speed (to the ground) contact, Theapproach paid-off as we maintained our overall health throughout twelve games. Hereare a few of the ideas that we implemented,

1. A daily low impact activity. that stresses "rolling your hips".2. Eliminate 1 on 1 tackling drills.3. "Live" 7 on7 Skelly Period., Weplay "Cover 0" and allow onlyone man to make the

tackle. .4. "Live" 2 minute drill in the preseason.5. 30minutes per day - Indy Drill, "Bang and Release".

The most common question that is asked.in regards to the 4-3 is a concern'about Double Tight End formations. I will cover some of my thoughts onthe issue. Number One: Don't screw with your front. I cannot stress that

. near enough. Number two: Make it simple for the kids. Number three:Maintain your man ratios in the box.

Our first adjustment is to bring the W/S down in-what we call a loadedposition. He ~ll align o~n;apoutside shade of the TE (similar to the SAMinStack Defense). His key is the TE. His progression is Dive, Trap, Close,Climb. Identical reads as the 9 TECH.The Corner's match is the TE. VersusTEBlock the corner will now be involved in the run ratio. Therefore, youmust work 'theBf in the Barrel Drill.

BOOTLEG

In most defensive schemes, the responsibility to contain QBBOOTis placedon the Defensive End. In this scheme, the responsibility for contain willonly rest on the DE if the Of is ina Ba.seor Reach Block, If the O'T turnsback to block the "B gap", the 5 TECHwill"treat this as a down block and.hopefully will splatter the pulling guard. This removes all QB'responsibility from the' DE. The primary Boot player in this scenario is the

. .

W/S~ He is the cutback player on flow away. Bootaction is counter-actionto us. The QBmust be treated as a potential run threat. The W/S mustmain tain his leverage and become. the primary forte. on the QB. Since weare in match coverage, all potential receivers are covered.

.'Another 'critical coaching point with respect to BOOTis with the LE'S. Imake a major point when coaching the LE's about the intensity of therunning backs. I find tha(. the intensity for attacking the LOS is'diminished. Even the well coached RBIsdo not sell the run on BOOT.Therefore, BOOTReaction for the LB'smust be schooled every day. This is.done in the Barrel Drill.

One last coaching point: If a Down 'and Distance tendency can beestablished with respect to BOQT,an EDGEBlitzwilldiscourage it.

WAGGLE

DOUBLEWING/DOUBLE TIGHT BONE

This past season we faced these offensive styles.in the playoffs. Initially,it was a serious cause for concern. We had only seen one true Winged-Tteam' all year and Double Tight sets were in goal line offense situations.We hadfive days to prepare. The major question was, can_we stay inour4-3 Base. The answer isyou must. Here's what we did!

.__LUCKY/RINGO DEFENSE

Thefirst ..thing: we,did was to analyze Jt:heit'Offerise~,~() were their bigplayguys? What did they want to hang their hat on? How effective werethey throwing the ball?

The first opponent averaged 4.5, passes per game. Their FE had 1300yards in 9 ball games. They had good size in the line and played a numberof kids both ways. They ran the option" the belly series, and someWinged-T.The one TEhad 20 catches for the season. ~.:-::c"':

After two days of second-guessing and experimentation, we conduded thatwe must maintain our concepts up front. We had come too far to changenow. After all, if we were to lose faith in the scheme, what would 'the kidsdo. We stayed with the BaseFront-but we made some "read" changes and

.:included what we called a "wild card player".

WINGED-T

This offensive concept has been around for a long time. More and moreteams are utilizing the schemes especially at the high school .level. Thestructure of the offense is very adaptable for high school. The resultsspeak for themselves. . .

Defending the WINGED-Tis quite a challenge. I believe that the attack 4-3is the best way to defend it for several reasons.

1). ··2)

3)

Penetration causes execution problems.Splatter technique hurts the "gap or down block scheme."The ability to incorporate your safeties in the run ratio leaves themunblocked. -.

4) . Match coverage provides extra runsupport.;5) . the threatof 4verticai is nevera problem.

Your game plan vs the WINGED-Tmust include a few elements that allowyou to dictate what happens. .

1)· You must elimnate the run game to the TEside.2). You mustbeable to adjust to quick motion.3) You must-cover all possible receivers versus Boot and Waggle.4) Be sound versus misdirection.

We start with our BASEversus WINGED-T,with one adjustment. The S/Sand the Fe switch men. We want the Fe to be matched to a stationary guy-and the S/S to be matched to a traveler.

The WIS is matched to the HE and makes a VERTI-ALERTCALL.·FOURVERTICALis always a threat.

The first premise it to eliminate the TERun game. We do this with a WINGKILLCALL. What we want is vertical penetration through the inside gapof the wing and the inside gap of the TE. We do this 2 different-ways .

The SAMmust be alert to the QBBOOTsince he, is the cut back player tothe TEside.

Penetration is a major concern for WINGED-T TEAMS. It disrupts timingand interferes with backside pullers. I devised a Blitz mechanism that hasbeenextremely effective versus WINGED-TTeams. We call it.MQ BLITZ. 'Quick motion triggers the blitz..

I find that this quick motion back cannot reverse his course once hemotions.

They can counter with the other Wing or FE. That condition is alreadyaccounted for in our cut back scheme.

NOTE: . As an integral part of our overall cutback theory, the WIS isresponsible for QBBoot.

The next concern is quick motion. You must understand that quick motionchanges the offensive player ratio. Therefore, we must have a method ofchanging our player ratio.

We do this. with a Roy or Bobby Call. These calls relate to the safetyrotation that must occur with quick motion .. Remember, you .only need torotateaway from the SM1. _.HeIs your extra, .

The ROY CALL isa mahcall.; The SISmmntains his man and moveswith ..him. ··0

Those are the basic concerns that I have with respect to, the WINGED-T..Tendencies that surface throughout HIm study must be covered.Down/Distance tendencies must really be obvious to make them an issue.I find that Down/Distance tendencies that happen during the game aremore reliable.
