Starts with his ability to make plays. Must Defeat DBL teams. • Nose Guard (NG) – Occupy Center. Can use different body types. • Angle Tackle (AT) – High motor. Lighter of the two DE’s. Best pass rush guy. D-LINE TECHNIQUES Head-up Alignment Outside Shade Alignment Inside Shade Alignment GAPS Our Defense is a “Gap-controlled” defense. Each defender is responsible for a gap. The front defenders (DL/LB) will protect their gap if the ball is run directly at them. They will also have responsibilities on action away from them. Defensive Fronts We can set up our front 3 different ways • Set front to TE/Away • Set front to Field/ Boundary • Set front To or Away from Formation Strength. • Strength Call = Cat Right (RT)/Cat Left (LT) DEFENSIVE HUDDLE (STACK) N Vs. “No-Huddle”: We will not T “stack” before every play. Cat will make a predetermined Cat T M Call and all defenders will have a wristband. A B C BL RESPONSIBILITIES (PRE-SNAP) MIKE: Make Def Huddle call. SC CAT: Make Strength call. SAFETY: Make coverage call for strong-side. QC BEAR: Make Down/Distance call in stack. BLOOD: Make coverage call for quick-side. NOSE: Set the Stack. FS EVERYONE ELSE: Get Communication and line-up as called. CAT RIGHT T N T A BL B M C CAT LEFT A T N T BL C M B Blood = Walk-up on TE and Jam LONGHORN T N T A M B C Longhorn: Front call that allows the front BL strength to change without flipping the entire front. AE plays a 5 tech, ST plays a shade or 2I, NG plays a 3 tech, and AT plays a 7 tech. UNBALANCED BL T N T A M B C UNBALANCED: Front defenders shift 1-man to the strength. • A defensive lineman must utilize a good stance. A good stance is vital for good line play. An incorrect stance may increase errors. • 4 Tyles of DL Stances st nd – Plug (1 & 2 Down – Run situations) • Base stance for D-linemen. • Strong and Powerful. • Nose, Slant and Angle will line up in a slight tilt to their pressure key. Anchor will line up square. • Feet: wider than armpits, inside foot slightly staggered. Short and powerful steps (6” steps). • Hands: Inside hand=on the ground, outside hand = ready to strike. On the snap, strike the OL’s chest w/ both hands. • Eyes: Up and on target (OL’s chest). – Jet (Pass Situations) • Sprinter Stance (keep weight on the up-foot) • Body is elongated. st • 1 step should be longer in order to beat the OL thru the DL’s gap. • All weight should be forward • Go Up-field! (THE GATES HAVE OPENED!!!!!!) – Slant (30 Defense/Blitzing) • Stance should be balanced. Weight should be on the inner part of the feet (big toes) st • Feet should be square, no stagger. One the snap, do not cross feet. 1 step should be 45 degrees, clearing the OL. • Hands: Once ball is snapped DL should use Slap-Rip technique to get to their gap. • Once slanted into the designated gap, do not go too far up-field, breakdown and find the ball. • If slanting across an OL, the DL may want to back-up a yard to make sure they are not cut-off. – Goal-line (60 Defense/Short Yardage) • 4 point stance. • Feet: slightly wider than shoulder width. • Keep pads low and on the snap have weight going forward. • We must get low and PENETRATE the OL! D-LINE TECHNIQUE: PRE-SNAP • GET-OFF: Another component of good defensive line play is the ability to react on movement, or “get-off” on the ball or any movement of the offense. A good get-off takes away any advantage an OL may have of knowing the snap count. The sooner we get-off and strike the OL, the better chance we have of defeating their blocks. This skills is a trained stimulus response that can be improved upon (see “Get off Drill”). D-linemen go on MOVEMENT, not sound. • HARD COUNT/QUICK COUNT: An offense will try to utilize a hard count in situations to cause the defense to jump off-sides. This usually occurs in a short yardage situation. The offense can also use a quick count to catch the defense off guard. The DL will utilize a “D.JO” call. D.JO stands for DON’T JUMP OFF- SIDES. This call will make the DL aware of a quick/hard count and if it is a short yardage situation. D-LINE TECHNIQUE: FOOTWORK/HANDS • FOOTWORK (PLUG): In addition to a great stance and excellent get-off, a good 1st step is paramount for good defensive line technique. Out of the PLUG stance, the 1st step will ALWAYS be the same, regardless of blocking scheme. The step should be short and powerful (6”). The step should replace the downed hand. DL will read the OL’s block on the 2nd step. The foot that is staggered back and the hand that is down must work in harmony. Same hand, same foot. • FOOTWORK (JET): The 1st step from the JET stance should be very long. Get up-field with the 1st step, it is designed to “close the gap” between DL and OL, thus creating speed during pass rush technique. • HAND PLACEMENT: Proper hand placement will help DL react to blocks and control the blocker. After the “get-off” and 1st step, the DL’s aiming point is the OL’s chest plate. Hands should strike the chest plate with the thumbs up and in close proximity of each other, and elbows tight to the body. When striking the OL, “lock out” the elbows to create separation between the DL and OL. Do not expose the chest to the OL. If the OL does get their hands inside ours, we must replace our hands to gain the dominant position (see “Hand Drills”). Proper use of hands allows the DL to defeat blocks with various techniques: push-pull, shed, grab, and pull-press, etc. DEFENSIVE LINE TERMS • READING STANCES: OL may not be good at disguising if they are going to run or pass. If a OL has a lot of weight forward (rabbit) they will probably be run blocking. If an OL has their weight back, or light (bird), they are probably going to pass block or pull. By reading stances, the DL might be able to tip off what the offense is doing. • CONTAIN: On pass plays, the DE’s are responsible for containing the QB as well as the ball carrier on runs. Contain is not allowing the ball carrier outside of the defender. The DE must cut the field off to the ball carrier and force him inside where there is more defensive help. Losing contain will allow the ball carrier to have more room to run freely and less defenders to contend with. When rushing the QB, DL should aim for the QB’s up-field shoulder. If the DE loses contain on the QB, the QB will be forced to step inside the pocket (where there is defensive help) instead of escaping outside. • PASS RUSH LANES: DL must maintain proper pass rush lanes when rushing the passer. Interior DL (Nose/Slant) must not be on the same side of the ball, or DE’s to crash inside and lose contain on a straight rush. These errors create running and throwing lanes for the offense. DE’s must squeeze from outside-in, keeping contain. Interior DL must collapse the pocket while not opening up inside running and passing lanes. NEVER GO DEEPER THAN THE BALL!!!! DEFENSIVE LINE TERMS • 4-MINUTE DEFENSE: Refers to crunch time near the end of a game. The defense is losing and must make a stop to get the ball back to our offense. The defense MUST hustle, get off piles after plays, force turnovers, deny 1st downs, and make plays in order to get off the field! • 2-MINUTE DEFENSE: In the final two minutes of a game, a trailing offense may try to use Up-tempo/no-huddle in order to move the ball down the field and score quickly. It is crucial for the defense to know this situation. (Does the offense need a FG to win? Touchdown? How will a score effect the game? ) In a 2-minute situation, the defense must get lined-up and ready for anything the offense might do. Big plays are important: sacks, pressures, and turnovers. Tackle players in bounds and keep the clock running. • SUBSTITUTIONS: Our defense plays multiple fronts and like to rotate many players to keep them fresh.

  • PHYSICAL EDUCATION Unit: Flag Football STUDY GUIDE
    FLAG FOOTBALL STUDY GUIDE Description of Game One hand or two hand touch football is a game which is similar to both rugby and American football. However, some major differences do exist: 1) The ball carrier is "stopped" when a defensive places one or two hands on offensive player carrying the football. 2) Blocking is not allowed, but in its place a technique called "shielding" is substituted. Both of these modifications are employed to insure safety. The ball is advanced toward the goal line only by means of the forward pass. All players are eligible pass receivers, including the center. History The game of football is an offshoot of both soccer and rugby. The colleges of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Rutgers were among the first to play the game. Since 1869, regulation football rules have been added and are continuously being modified, even at the present time. The game of one or two hand touch football is merely a modification of regulation football. Some of the major differences between one/two hand touch football and regulation football are the rules regarding "no body contact" and no diving. The one/two hand touch football game which you play in class is a modification of regulation football. The modifications which are made will provide for a safer, more practical and enjoyable activity. Scoring 1. Touchdown = 6 points. 2. Safety = 2 points. Some Players & Positions to Help You Understand High School , College , & Pro Football Offensive Players Quarterback (QB) - field general - after taking the snap from the Center, the QB can pass, handoff, toss, or run with the ball (only after a defensive player crosses the Line of Scrimmage).

  • Defensive Manual
    TEAMWORK SIMPLY STATED, TEAMWORK WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS! Team Philosophy There are only three things that I ask you to believe in unquestionably. If you believe in these three things then you will be a part of this team no matter what your abilities or talents may be or how many mistakes you may make. Likewise, if you do NOT believe in these three things with all your heart and soul, then you will not be a part of this team no matter what your abilities or talents may be or how perfect you may be. You must believe in: 1. YOURSELF. To be successful in anything you must believe (care, trust, confidence) in yourself. If you do not believe in yourself, no one else will. 2. TEAMATE. You must believe in your team mate. We cannot accomplish anything of great value in life without help. Even Jesus had help; he had 12 team mates; it only took one to betray him and the team. If you have a team mate that you do not believe in, then we must build him up 3. COACHES. Finally, you must believe in your leaders, the coaches for we are apart of the team. After Judas betrayed Jesus and the Jews crucified Him, the apostles denied knowing Him and went into hiding. But their faith in Him reunited them and revived their belief in each other which provided them the courage they needed to dedicate and give their lives to His teachings. Thanks to those faithful 11, the teachings of Jesus live today. Nothing of any great significance was ever accomplished alone.

  • Conversations About Defense
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 5, No. 4 (1983) CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DEFENSE by Stan Grosshandler It is difficult to realize that until relatively recent times the defense received small recognition. In truth, they probably did not deserve any for they were stereotyped, showing little imagination. As the two platoon system began to establish itself and coaches showed more innovation defensively, we began to hear of the "Umbrella Defense," the "Eagle Defense," and in the next decade such names of aggrandizement as "The Doomsday Defense," "The Purple People Eaters," and "The Violent World of Sam Huff." Stars of the 1930's and 1940's will tell you there was little stress put on defense. It was something you had to do until you got the ball back. Joe Kopcha, all-pro Bear guard in the '30s, described how he and his teammates would often lean on the men opposite them when the play went the other way. The object of the game was to go the entire 60 minutes and you wanted to conserve your strength for the offense. The word "pursuit" was rarely used. The great Packer guard, Buckets Goldenberg, brought out three interesting points: "Lambeau paid little attention to the defense," he said. "He felt we could always outscore the other team. I always felt that if we played the Little Sisters of the Poor they would probably have scored a couple of times." He also pointed out that when Larry Craig, the blocking back from South Carolina, joined the Packers, he was placed at defensive end and Hutson was moved to defensive halfback where he became quite good.

Prepared for Paul Hefty at State College 9th grade L E T T E R F R O M T H E C O - F O U N D E R The differences between wins and losses are often measured by yards. We all know this as coaches. A rst down conversion here, or a missed missed block there, can mean the difference between sub-.500 seasons and championships. Traditional coaching philosophies are full of passive rhetoric like, “If only we would have done this.” But the paradigm has shifted to data-driven decisions. Great coaches are recalibrating their mindset from reacting to anticipating. By using the data in this report, you'll be able to control these important game day circumstances. Thanks to Hudl’s national collection of data, we already know the main predictors that separates wins from losses. We're using the 16 most inuential to provide coaches insight on how to get, or stay, on the winning side next fall. The most important thing you can do this offseason is re-evaluate all your successes and failures. We hope our assessment will give you actionable steps to boost your eciency in all these areas.

  • Chris Harris Jr. and Zach Kerr Headline the Broncos Huddle by Rod Mackey 9 News October 25, 2018
    Chris Harris Jr. and Zach Kerr headline the Broncos Huddle By Rod Mackey 9 News October 25, 2018 Another "must win" for the Broncos. This week, however, that will be a lot harder to do as Denver goes from playing Arizona, one of the worst teams in the NFL, to one of the best in Kansas City. That was a big topic of conversation on the Broncos Huddle with Chris Harris Jr. and Zach Kerr. While the rest of the sports world is focused on Chad Kelly being released and that Halloween party, the team is focused on football and the 6-1 Chiefs. Kansas City came back to beat the Broncos 27-23 in Denver on Oct. 1, but the Broncos are hanging their hat on the fact that they were able to stay with the AFC West leaders. In fact, the team believes they actually gave the game away in the fourth quarter against KC. Chris Harris Jr. spent some time with a local youth football team talking X's and O's on Tech Time. He also played "Who am I?" The game which tests how well the Broncos actually know their teammates. -I was drafted by the Dolphins in the 3rd round -My dad played four seasons in the NFL -My brother played six season in the NFL -Played on three FCS national championship teams -My college mascot are the Bison Who Am I? The answer.... Billy Turner. Did Chris get the answer right? Make sure to catch the Broncos Huddle when it airs for a second time on Channel 20 at 10:30pm.
