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” /
            -Start instance, usually 4 lines, 4 whistle progression.
            -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
                        -Player backpedal, break to corner on command, on spin command
                        Spin around snapping head around and go 45 degrees other way

Johnny Manziel vs Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson is a fantastic football player. He may be an even better human being. He is not the prototype NFL QB relating to size. He is mobile, athletic and to many the next wave of NFL QBs. Will Wilson help Manziel with his draft status? Manziel is not Russell Wilson. Barry Switzer said it best: Manziel is arrogant, spoiled and has embarressed his team and coaches. Jaworski has said it best. Manziel does not possess the mechanics, read progression or discipline at this point to be a franchise NFL QB. In short Manziel is not Russell Wilson. Wilson was a 3rd round pick. Manziel will be fortunate to duplicate Wilsons draft slot.

LB Play - 3 - 2 Inside LB Play Talbot Defense

Inside Linebacker play in our cover 3 match. Our MLB will be a 3-2 player in our cover 3 match.   The MLB will play gap responsibility playing run 1st. Once the QB has cleared the depth of the RB(#3), and there is no run threat, the MLB will then adjust his drop to the release of #3.  1st job is to identify #3 and alert the outside linebacker to a possible "push" call.   #3 - inside release: MLB will drop on top of #3 maintaining a top down inside hip leverage. His eyes will move from the QBs upfield shoulder to proper leverage  of  #3. #3 - outside release to flat: MLB will make "push" call to alert the outside linebacker to come off his reroute of #2 and expand to flat looking for #3 to flat. MLB will then push to #2s release carrying vertical to top of his zone (12 yards). MLB will wall #2 (keep inside leverage) on #2 and ping-pong his head and eyes back to QB to identify QBs upfield shoulder & elbow. *Communication is vit...
