BUILDBUILDThe deeper the foundation, the stronger the individual– This applies to life, academics, and football
The goal is for each player to be at his best on the final play of his football career– We will build on each rep, drill, practice, and
game– Constant improvement
BUILDBUILDThe product of our profession is BUILDING successful livesThe byproduct of our profession is winning football games– The little things make this possible
Our role as coaches is to take our players to a level that was not possible for them to achieve on their own
Team DefenseTeam DefenseDesire – Relentless pursuitTeam Defense
Know your role, understand your fitsControl what you can control
Defensive Standards:1. Intelligent2. Hostile3. Tough4. Relentless
Pack Mentality – Takeaways Spill Everything – Great Angles (Inside out)
44--22--55Started as an answer to two TE formations
Allowed us to be balanced
Allows us to be multipleEven FrontUnder FrontOdd Front
Allows us to get 9 players involved in the run game
Our #1 Goal is to stop the Run
Allowed up to keeps thing simple
44--22--55STOP THE RUNWe always work to get both Inside Linebackers on the playside– B Gap and a Free Hitter– Run to daylight
We always want to force the pass deep and outside– Corners play with inside leverage
Principles of PursuitPrinciples of PursuitAccountability
– We will be accountable to each other. All members of the defensive team will develop tremendous pride in the great effort that they give on every play.
Respect– Intense effort will bring about a sense of respect and accomplishment from
within. This will create a bond between you and your teammates that is built on mutual respect, and these feelings will permeate through our defensive unit.
Aggressive attitude– There is no question that intense effort leads to an aggressive style of play.
We will take tremendous pride in swarming to the football. This will have an intimidating effect on the ball carrier. Nothing is more demoralizing to a ball carrier than having to un-pile from under five defenders after every play, with the other six defenders forming a wall around him.
Confidence– The blend of accountability, respect, and aggressive play will lead to a strong
synergy within our defense. The combination of these qualities will lead to success and with success comes confidence.

Moving away from this practice– Dog will give the Down and Distance
Stud will make a “RODGER” or “LUCKY” callThe strength is determined by the TEIf there is no TE, then to the side with the most recieversIf it is balanced, usually a “LUCKY” call
