The 6-Technique Defensive End requires some special teaching. But the rewards can be great for your run defense. Coaching the Pressure Key and Visual Key for a 6-Technique Defensive End takes a lot of time. And you’ve got to have the right guy for the job. Both the player, and the coach. But the result can be a big change for your 4-4 Defense or 4-2-5 Defense. The 6 Technique Defensive End can help string out edge runs in a way that an inside shade player just can’t! In today’s episode of the JDFB Quick Clinic, I’ll answer a listener question on coaching the pressure key and visual key...

How do you adjust Power Read when the defense is blitzing right at you? Here’s a few adjustments you can make. Power Read is one of my favorite plays found in most Spread Option playbooks.

I don’t believe in teaching my players the right way to lose a play. So I don’t teach my guys to screw their shoulder into the ground when they’re getting the snot kicked out of them on a double team. That doesn’t make my way right or wrong, but it’s important to understand. You defeat a double team by defeating one man, not two. And if you’re starting on our Defensive Line, you better be able to defeat one man more times than not. Taking on double teams should be a point of pride for any Defensive Lineman. In today’s Quick Clinic, I’ll talk about how to make it happen. In this...

It’s my favorite play. And we’re talking about the biggest problem you’ll have running it. This mailbag question comes from Zach, who’s got the Power run play in his offensive playbook. But the backside linebacker has been giving them problems. This is a major focus in how I teach the blocking in our Pistol Power Offense System. The BSLB will screw this play up for your offense more than anyone else. Took a lot of time and adjustments to learn this. He seems like an afterthought when you’re first putting the play in. Then you get smashed in the backfield repeatedly by a guy who does ...

I have a VERY important question from one of our listeners for today’s episode. How do you teach your players to use the helmet and/or facemask in blocking? It’s interesting because this got me a little riled up. That may not take much, but this one is really important. Not because I think the coaches that are teaching anything involving the helmet are bad coaches. But because we have to stop. I used to teach hat & hands for defensive linemen. Getting the head across on the tackle. You know, all the old stuff. When we teach blocking now, as with tackling, it’s about keeping the head out ...

What’s the best strategy for grading football players in practice and during games? Do you even need to do it?

We’ll also talk about a quick method to grading football players on the field that you can use for practice and games. This episode of The Joe Daniel Football Quick Clinic is...

I’ve been the video guy for most of my career in coaching. I’m into technology and it’s always appealed to me. But there was a time when I did not get to take the laptop home and go to work. Back in my first few years of coaching, we were still doing everything on VHS Tapes. You won’t learn anything from this episode of JDFB Quick Clinic. It’s more of a nostalgia thing. If you never lived through the VHS tape exchange, you might not get it. But VHS was an important part of football coaching, for a long time. So in this episode, I’ll share some of my memories with them. And their ...

How do you run your Defensive Line stunts? On the snap or wait to recognize pass sets? The topic this week for the JDFB Quick Clinic is all about Defensive Line stunts. More specifically, how should you execute those stunts? Some coaches like to execute the stunt on the snap. Others wait to see the Offensive Line pass set. It all depends on what you’re running those stunts for! This episode of The Joe Daniel Football Quick Clinic is in response to a question sent by Twitter. You can send questions for the JDFB Quick Clinic to me on Twitter @footballinfo or by email to joe@...

Offensive Line blocking technique is not natural. It’s not something that your players are just born with. You have to teach it. That means they need to learn who to block, and how to block them. It’s a lot of learning and technical, tedious repetition. Takes a special dude to be a great Offensive Lineman. And then, somewhere in all that scholarly coaching… you gotta get some kids who want to be a little nasty. Finish the block. Drive their guy to the ground. This is where I see coaching completely fail. A lot. Coaches decide to just berate their players into getting mean and being ...

Every football defense needs to have a plan for defending trips formations. In fact, you need more than one way. There should be a base plan for defending trips formations. The way you’ll handle these sets when all else fails. Your fall back, and the most solid and comfortable plan. Then there’s a blitz plan. A way to get pressure on teams lining up in 3x1 formations. The third way could involve a number of methods, but it’s usually based on game plan. You need to know the strengths of your opponent to do this. Whatever you decide to do when defending trips formations, you have to make ...

When you’re running an Even Front Defense, there’s one dude that is hard to find. And completely irreplaceable. The 3-technique Defensive Tackle, your strong Tackle, is extremely important. He’s the one true Defensive Tackle you need in a Miami 4-3 Defense. It’s hard to survive without him. Big and strong. Low center of gravity. Active and athletic for his size. One man cannot block him. Two men cannot move him. That’s the 3-tech. We use a 3-Tech Defensive Tackle in the Miami 4-3 Defense and in the 4-2-5 Defense System. Both of those Systems are part of your JDFB Insider Membership.
