When Defensive Ends are aggressively striking their keys it cleans up so many things in your defense. Edges get set, LBs stay clean, and gaps get compressed.

We added a similar variation to the drill below . -Run -> emphasize heel line.-Pass -> Transition into pass rush.-Draw -> Retrace .-Screen -> Retrace
Probably one of the best get off drills we have! Our’s is very similar to this. I like the heel line emphasis in run game & the detailed aiming points on the QB from both the DT’s / DE’s. We include a draw where DL retrace steps. 🎥@CoachZacSias‼️.

“Low man wins” is an overused term in defensive line play. In reality “Leverage Wins!” We must define leverage, practice leverage, and then demand it in Dline play. What cues or buzz words do you use to define leverage?. 🎥@TeachTapes .

If the vouchers were truly intended for public school children and families, why does Gov. Abbott ONLY visit private schools 🤔.
Many public school educators change their minds on Texas' universal school choice program once they understand what it actually provides. Public school teachers and administrators see through the Democrats' lies. When they see how it really works, they support school choice.

In no specific order 🧵. 1. Get certified in a CORE Subject. Avoid PE/Health if possible. This opens so many more doors.2. Join THSCA.3. Arrive early & don’t rush out beating the kids out the door.4. Look for work instead of waiting for work.5. Avoid using “That’s not my job”.

To be a dominant D-Lineman it’s not only owning your gap, but it’s being able to play gap & 1/2. Lock out & control your gap responsibility FIRST before working into your secondary gap. Must read the block & the path of the RB. 🎥@CoachDShack.

People look at pass rushing as an individual effort, but great defensive lines rush as a unit. Watch how these 2 work together to create the QB pressure, & ultimately force a bad throw into an INT. Awareness of pass rush lanes is key & QB aiming points!. 🏈 @CoachK_Baker

Functional pass rush get off drill to engage those muscle groups. Must be loaded pre snap to get best results in the game. Players need to be mentally focused on which “mode” of defense they are playing pre snap and play to play. Not all get offs are the same.

My philosophy on teaching pass rush . DE’s need to build their pass rush off of speed to set up their power and counters. DT’s need to build off of power to setup their speed and counters . Now every player is different these are general rules.
What is you philosophy on teaching pass rush to DT’s vs DE’s? . Teach them the same way or differentiate your coaching based on position?
