Defensive Back "Corner" Cover 3 & Man Rules

Cover - 3 Zone Coverage Rules

 •Corners – align 1 inside by 7 yards deep & skate the 3-step    /   catch & 1 step by the QB keying quick game.  
                 -  NO Quick game then rifle 10 yards deep to divider  identifying the release of the #2 WR.
                 -  Flip hips square to the LOS & stay 8 yards over the top of any vertical threat reacting to the route.
Man Coverage Rules 
•Man Rules:  Align in a parallel stance and we will use a step Back & Jab with our inside foot & inside hand. Eyes start at belt buckle!
         -eyes move to stay locked on man's inside hip with inside arm at inside hip or "In Phase",  in short and intermediate zones (0-12 yd’s),
         - eyes will climb in deep zone (12+ yd’s) to inside shoulder pad tip staying "In Phase!"
         - lock on eyes until he has confirmed with his eyes and hands that he is about to catch the ball then try to rip ball from WR's hands.
         - Look for ball only if you have your man "In Phase and able to pick his pocket - then wedge man toward sideline.
 
"Laying a Foundation 1 Brick at a Time!"

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...
