DB Crew: EDDs & Indy



“DB CREW”



“PLAY FAST, PLAY PHYSICAL, PLAY WITHOUT HESITATION
 
Shaler Area HS
Defensive Backs


INTRODUCTION:

During Individual Period there are two different groups of drills we will do.  There are EDD’s (Every Day Drills) which should be done every day.  These are fundamental drills that teach, reinforce and simulate football movements.  There are also alternate drills that are used periodically in the year to teach other skills or the same skills but in a different drill (Players keep excited). 

Drills used should simulate football situations.  We will never use a drill that isn’t teaching or simulating a movement, action, or play that we will have to execute in a game.  We will use the drills that are the most efficient for our system.

Drills are given a name.  This name will allow the players to get used to a drill and the coach can simply say the drill’s name and the players should know what to do.  Drills will be explained and explained as they relate to game situations. 

Maximize reps with high quality execution.  Drills are meant to isolate skills and have players execute those abilities.  We will reinforce the idea of “high tempo & getting better every day” through drills.

 

EDD’s

1)  Stance
            -2 pt, narrow stance, small package, inside foot slightly back.
            -on balls of feet, Eagle claw!.
-knees bent, hips back, bent at waist, flat back Hands in front of knees, chin over the toes.
“cover the numbers” = we should not be able to clearly see players front numbers.  This ensures the players are bent over with back flat.
            -pad level down, eyes up, head up and shoulder blades pinched.
            -arms hanging loose, hands inside of frame

MOVEMENT DRILLS

2)  Ease Backpedal – “Pedal” / “Speed - Pedal” /

            -On ‘go’ command by coach players execute back pedal.
            -Maintain narrow base, keep pad level same
            -Arms pumping (“beating the drum”), eyes up, good balance

3)  Pedal Transitions – (0 / 45 / 90 / degrees)
            -Backpedal on ‘go’, on ‘break’ quick feet stop and back up to coach
            -Look for quick feet to change direction, not wide base
            -Players must accelerate after break, not jog back up

4)  Pedal / Plant / Drive –transitions – (0 / 45 / 45 & open / 45 – vertical & open)
            -Backpedal; break 90 degrees on coach’s ‘break’ command
            -Go left and right, then go on coach’s point direction (reaction open changed
            -Keep eyes up field, sprint after break at least five yds (use lines)

5)  Pedal vertical 45 degree
            -Backpedal; break 45 degrees to corner or post
            -Go left and right, then go on coach’s point direction (react to stimuli)
            -Players must accelerate out of break
           
5i)  Double Move Drills
            a)  Back and corner, speed turn to other corner

The NFL's New QB Era! Is it here to stay?

The NFL & the Read Option QB: Here we go, 1 month from the draft and everybody is looking for the next RG3, Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick or Cam Newton.  The mobile QB that runs the read option that can lead a franchise to the promise land.  I am here to tell you that Mike Tomlin head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers said correctly recently; "the read option QB is just the flavor of the month!"  It is a fad that is here now and will be gone soon enough.  The Philadelphia Eagles have mortgaged their future in hiring Chip Kelly away from Oregon to bring him into the NFL to run his high octane read option offense with plays being run every 13 seconds!   I am of the belief that Mike Tomlin's words will proof to be prophetic.  RG3 and his knee injury last year against the Ravens is just the start of the injured reserve list being filled with these high dollar QB's that run the read option.  These guys will riddle the IR next season....

DL "Low Hat" Block Recognition

Following the "Get-off", every DL players progression is block recognition.  We teach 3 low-hat progression / reaction teaching techniques daily. *Low-Hat Block Reactions: 1.  OL "Down" - our DL will react to a  down block by squeezing the outside shoulder pad tip of the OL. Our objective is to be violent with our strike squeezzing the OL preventing his shoulders from being square & climbing to the 2nd level. We want to cancel the gap to the inside of   OL with his body. In short we teach - "Down = Squeeze". 2. OL "Drive" - our DL will react to a drive block with a sit - seperate - pull through reaction. Following our get-off we recognize the OL in a drive block / base block our reaction imediately transfers to our core strength. We will sit or sink our hips maintain an athletic base and drive forward followed by a violent pull through. The pull through combines with a catapult of our body to our gap control combined with the OL being slun...
