QC-76 Should Defensive Line Spill or Cage a Trap Block?

Today’s listener question is all about a fundamental question for coaching your defensive line.

Spill it or squeeze it? There’s a lot of terms that get used here. Wrong arm the kick out block, or cage it?

Should we get under the block and force the ball carrier to bounce, or turn him back inside?

I’ll talk about my thoughts on this subject, but if you’ve been around me very long you probably know where I’m going.

Never one to assume I have all the answers, and you should always coach what you know. But what I know, is spilling the ball carrier to our force defenders.

Spilling the football is a big part of our defensive systems. It’s just the way I’ve learned football and it makes sense. To learn more about The 4-2-5 Defense System, visit http://425defense.com.
