DB High Shoulder Drill - Coaches should instruct defensive backs to eyeball the receiver's near hip to determine the route's direction. - When a receiver's hip moves toward the defender, it indicates the route is rolling over or through, requiring the defender to close the space and attack the... hip. - If the receiver's hip moves away from the defender, it signals a vertical route that the defender must chase to reach the catch point. - Defenders should maintain proper footwork and spacing, utilizing techniques such as the kickstep and punch during the play. - Defensive backs must fight force with force by placing their hands on the receiver if the receiver's hands are on them. - Players should be violent at the reception point to effectively knock the football away from the receiver.

DB Burst to Stack Drill - The drill focuses on the "burst to stack" technique, which is considered a critical skill for defensive backs. - Players must focus on using a burst of speed to get on top of the receiver's route. - Coaches should instruct players not to settle for being even with the receiver; they must strive to get on top. - The primary goal is to avoid falling underneath the route. - Ending up on the receiver's hip is an acceptable outcome and is much better than being underneath. - Defensive backs must specifically apply the burst to stack technique when a receiver takes an inside release.

DB Mirror Dodge Drill - Defensive backs should focus on maintaining their initial leverage while using proper footwork and hand placement to widen the wide receiver during the release. - Defensive backs must avoid putting their near hand in during an inside release because it locks their directional hip and prevents fluid movement. - Coaches should instruct players not to press or lean into an inside release, as this often causes the defender to fall underneath the route and lose positioning. - When a receiver takes an inside release on a vertical route, the defender must burst to stack the route by fighting to get back on top of the receiver. - Players need to understand their defensive help, such as whether they are in a man-free coverage, to decide how to handle a receiver crossing their leverage. - The primary goal for a defensive back on an inside release vertical is to win the rep from the top side rather than trying to slice back underneath the receiver.

DB Box Tackling Drill - The drill is set up using a five-yard spacing box with a popup dummy positioned in the center. - Defensive backs begin the drill in a pedal and must maintain an inside-out relationship to the ball carrier to properly win their leverage. - When a ball carrier cuts back, the defender should aim for a chest-to-chest tackle with eyes positioned below the ball carrier's eyes. - Effective tackling requires maintaining three bends in the body and creating knock-back through overexaggerated leg drive upon contact. - To eliminate cutback lanes, the defender must track the near hip and stay behind the ball carrier rather than getting even or in front of them. - Coaches should emphasize a drive-for-five mentality after contact and encourage defenders to rip at the ball to simulate a takeaway.

Punt Return Slingshot Drill - The slingshot drill is designed to help a punt returner get back into phase after a defender has beaten them or released in an unexpected direction. - For the drill to be effective, the player acting as the punt team defender must power through for at least four yards despite being slowed down by the returner. - To initiate the technique, the returner should place one hand firmly on the defender's hip as they move past. - The returner then reaches around with their second hand to grab the defender's hip, using the defender's own forward momentum to pull themselves back into position. - The ultimate goal of the slingshot is for the returner to regain side control and establish a position that is an arm's length away from the defender. - While grabbing a defender's shoulder pads is likely to be penalized, using the slingshot technique at the hip is rarely called by officials and effectively slows the defender down.

Im an offensive and Special Teams guy. But what the heck is the defender supposed to do here when the receiver changes HIS body position? Watch the defender's helmet, vs the receiver's helmet, watch trajectory of both. Receiver should be kicked out for helmet to helmet! He caused it!

ESPN NFL 2K5 is still the king of ball trajectory in the passing game. EA has never been able to replicate this: a high lob pass that drops into the receiver's hands, only where the receiver can catch it, and the defender is unable to jump it. Show me Madden doing this...

Former Florida State OC/OL coach Alex Atkins - Gallop Technique - Why = Move people & stay square. We Gallop 3 techniques but never 2i's. - When = Front side of gap schemes, back side of zone. - Awareness = Understand leverage of LB we are working to. Is the 3 tech tight or loose? Steps - 1st step must gain ground at angle. - 2nd step is gather step. Must get it down before I get to the hip. - 3rd step has to be in the ground before contact. Aiming Point - Aim for the hip of the defender. - Want lead foot to be inside the near foot of the defender. - Lead knee to graze the knee of the inside leg of the defender. - LB aiming point = Cut LB in half. Can't get undercut, U out if LB is fast flowing over top. Hands - Low & ready to strike hip of the defender. - Ready to turn into down block if DL spikes out. Run Counter Bundle = 60% Off

6 Cone Vice Tackle Drill - The drill uses a six-cone setup with specific cones assigned to two defenders and one runner to create varying angles and spaces for the vice tackle. - Defenders must navigate around their assigned cones with high urgency before engaging the runner. - Players are taught to manage distance by using long strides to close space quickly and transition to short strides as they approach the ball carrier. - Effective tracking requires defenders to focus on the runner's near hip to maintain proper leverage and close the gap vertically. - To properly execute the finish, defenders must keep their near foot up and strike the runner on the rise while maintaining good knee bend. - Successful vice tackling relies on teammates trusting one another to close the air out of the play and maintain their respective leverage points.

Defensive Tracking Drills - Tracking drills begin with a simple block destruction where defenders work over the top. - Players must consistently gain ground by working downhill toward the ball carrier instead of shuffling too far away. - Effective tracking requires maintaining a hunkered or tilted body position with a forward lean while staying on the balls of the feet. - Defenders should stay square to the man they are tracking rather than staying square to the line of scrimmage. - The primary focus for defenders is to track the ball carrier's near hip to properly position themselves for potential cutbacks. - To finish the drill, players must explode through contact, ending with their near foot up and tagging the ball carrier's near knee.

D-Line 6-Point - 3-Point Drill - During the six-point drill, defensive linemen should focus on pushing directly from the ground to generate power. - Successful execution requires the player to explode out of their hips to fully unlock their power. - When transitioning to a three-point stance layout, the player must keep their feet locked into the ground throughout the movement. - Coaches should ensure that hands go straight from the ground to the opponent or sled without any backward cocking motion. - Maintaining proper upper body posture is critical, which includes keeping the eyes up, the chin up, and the neck braced or bowed. - Ideal hand technique involves placing the thumbs up with elbows tucked in to achieve a great lockout against the target.

Cowboys O-Line Drill - Proper stance is achieved by keeping the feet positioned directly underneath the framework of the body and the armpits. - Placing the hand so it straddles the line is a key component of an effective initial setup. - A player should load the left instep to generate the power necessary to gain ground with the right step. - The initial movement involves a quick pick-up and put-down of the feet to maintain balance and momentum. - On the second step, the backside knee should be directed to split the crotch of the defender. - Sustained movement is created by pounding the arches and driving through the insteps to run off the football.

D-Line Drive Sled Drill - The drive sled drill is designed to develop muscle memory in defensive linemen so they understand the necessity of continuing to drive their feet upon making contact with an opponent. - Players must demonstrate explosive movement by coming out of their hips and shooting their hands directly from the ground to the man to initiate contact. - It is critical for the player to maintain a wide base throughout the duration of the drill while driving the sled. - Coaches should ensure that a player's feet never get too close together during the drive, as keeping them spread allows the athlete to maintain power. - Maintaining full arm extension while driving is a key technical component for defensive linemen to master during this exercise. - The drill concludes, and the player releases from the sled only when the coach blows the whistle.

Swipe the Ankles Drill - The drill begins on a whistle, where coaches slowly drag bags away to simulate a runner. - Defenders start the drill on all fours and crawl toward the moving bags. - The primary goal of the drill is to simulate a defender's last line of defense by swiping the runner's ankle to bring them down. - Players are instructed to cup the ankle during the tackle attempt rather than using a closed fist or an open hand. - The technique emphasizes having something solid to grab onto as the runner moves away. - This specific movement is designed to train defenders on how to effectively make a tackle when they are trailing a play.
