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

Cover 3 Coverage with 4/5 man pressure

Philosophy Great run defense for one & two back sets. (All gaps are accounted for) Gives a pressure look to QB with 4 or 5 man pressure. (makes him honor pressure) Must bring multiple 5 man pressures and combined with 4 man pressure disguises. Alignment Corners- line up outside eye shade, tight to the WR one or two yards off from the receiver.

Free Safety- lines up 12 yards splitting the two widest threats      www.thebestfootballblog.com www.thebestfootballblog.com Corners- Play a Press Technique.
