Stance depends on coverage. We will rotate each prepractice n Indy has different focus. Corresponds w/ script n situations #swarmfbchat

CoachGrayvold Jan 24 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1 Nose over toes, feet just inside shoulders, toe to heel relationship, 90-10 pressure front-back, flat back #swarmfbchat

freezysmalls Jan 24 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1 hip turns drills on the line.. I like the back pedal, open, plant out drill we incorporate in EDDs #swarmfbchat

coach_andyscott Jan 24 @ 9:12 PM EST

Q1/A1 chest over knees, knees over toes, with inside foot back and eyes on key #swarmfbchat

ecust23 Jan 24 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: we stay square to LOS. Depth depends on coverage and we are in athletic stance with eyes on our keys #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Jan 24 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: Stress forward lean in BP and T-Steps everyday. EDD's=ABC's Agility. Block Defeat. Contact. #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachHays13 Jan 24 @ 9:12 PM EST

Feet shoulder with, head up, butt down, pet the turf. Weight 70% on back foot to get a good push. #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 24 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: Good bend at the hips, slight stagger of feet, nose over the toes #swarmfbchat

CoachTWill22 Jan 24 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: Press quarters, so we have a squared stance, work releases, fade balls, post, and tackle daily. Hand work as well. #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachM_Hancock Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1) Stance, back pedal, hip flips, shuffle, T step drill -- we call them "Daily Musts" #swarmfbchat

jpoth744 Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: Stance starts flow reads. #swarmfbchat

CoachGrayvold Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1 Don't do any drill everyday. Every drill we do uses all the concepts we teach. Must be perfect reps! #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST

I like that you guys are specific here - never really thought about how narrow the feet can be vs other positions #swarmfbchat

CoachBFri29 Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: start with ladder drills during pre practice to work on ft speed. classic W drill, weave, 90 deg brk, bck pedal trn burst #SWARMFBCHAT

CarsonRileyDad Jan 24 @ 9:13 PM EST

Inside foot up, slow back pedal reading receiver route. T step drive down on in/out. WR breaks cushion turn hips, jam and match #swarmfbchat

CoachHays13 Jan 24 @ 9:14 PM EST

EDD's include but aren't limited to start, T steps, 6 come open field leverage tackle, and mirror motor release #swarmfbchat

jpoth744 Jan 24 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1: no false steps! Flow reads perfect steps mean getting to ball faster. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachBFri29

CoachKizer Jan 24 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1: Love getting them in the ropes. Work hip flexability and picking and putting down feet fast. Change direction fast as well #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 24 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1- I allowed the kids to work the shuffle drop this year. Some liked it. Had to learn to play the out a little differently #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 24 @ 9:15 PM EST

Any Ball Drills during the start of practice? Or just footwork and hips? #swarmfbchat

BenClubb32 Jan 24 @ 9:15 PM EST

Footwork is almost a must every day. Move the feet, flip hips and run #swarmfbchat

CoachHoreniHP Jan 24 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1 athletic stance, alignment will depend on coverage most times depth at 4 but can vary. #swarmfbchat

thomps_03 Jan 24 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1 stance, align, feet, breaks, ball drills, your scheme #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1: (contd) Rep the heck out of backpedal drillwork, along with hip flip drillwork everyday during Indy periods. #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1- also worked a progression for foot fire and t plant. Learned which break the kids liked better for EDDs #swarmfbchat

robertpomazak Jan 24 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1: 30x10 grid on side helps for drills. Tite/long ftwork/breaks/TNT / ball drills . Provides lines n angles #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Jan 24 @ 9:17 PM EST

more worried about feet and hips during EDD's will work ball drills in different phases of practice. #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

coach_andyscott Jan 24 @ 9:17 PM EST

We encourage ball drills to finish every footwork movement even if other DB's under hand tosses it to each other #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

@rmacblue I try to include a ball in all drills. Kids love to catch the ball plus it adds a turnover element to the drill. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 24 @ 9:15 PM EST

robertpomazak Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

A1 9beat n backshoulder always a great competitive tempo opener #swarmfbchat

CoachTLambert Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

Always emphasis on front hand breakup drills ... #swarmfbchat

Coach_Gehrts Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

I think it's important what guys are doing in EDDs what your asking your guys to do on game days #swarmfbchat

jpoth744 Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

Ball skills are incorporated into every drill. We strip, pick, and rip a ball each Drill. Try to incorporate that in each Drill #swarmfbchat

CoachM_Hancock Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

Do ball drills after footwork...need to catch the football 🏈 daily #swarmfbchat

In reply to @rmacblue

CarsonRileyDad Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

W drill that we do daily 1st time thru I will throw to them coming out of last break and then follow it with scoop n score #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachMHochard Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2 we shuffle b/c we run mostly cover 2. We never backpedal. We square up at times and shuffle out of it. #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 24 @ 9:17 PM EST

Q2: Backpedal vs Shuffle Tech - one over the other? Teach both? Situational? What about coaching points for each? #swarmfbchat

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

A1: I teach an open stance for 4-Read & off-man/closed stance for 2-Read & Press. #SWARMFBCHAT Daily Musts Vid: https://t.co/s9NmEdQDvi

CoachGrayvold Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2 Pedal unless press-bailing, then shuffle out. Like to be able to see the QB while also majority stance to WR. #swarmfbchat

CoachAmara Jan 24 @ 9:18 PM EST

A1)stance varies by cvg. EDDs: tempo back pedal, cushion drill, 0/45/90/135 angle breaks (w/speed turns), hook & swat drill #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: We started w/ backpedal w/ zone but went to shuffle b/c it helped our kids flip the hip on a zone turn, & read/key easier. #swarmfbchat

ecust23 Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: we teach back pedal. We don't do much shuffle. We are in zone coverage mostly so we feel we are best when we use back pedal #swarmfbchat

travisraley Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST

A1: EDDs- Man coverage tech every day. Loose = 2 speed pedal, weave, flip hips, in-phase/out of phase. Press = Mirror drill #swarmfbchat

CoachBFri29 Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: teach both, both techniques can be used in def cv. depending on what coverage in, depends on techniques used. #swarmfbchat

giveawaynood Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2 Pedal unless press-bailing, then shuffle out. Like to be able to see the QB while also majority stance to WR. #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: Prefer to stay square in BP, don't give the WR a way to attack you early, make him think. #SWARMFBCHAT

Skillutt28 Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST

A1. Balanced stance. Eyes on keys for coverage. Working hips & breaks daily. #swarmfbchat

robertpomazak Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST

A1 placed an emphasis on pass break as a skill, always had a form involved daily actually saw it n game! Taught skill saw skill #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 24 @ 9:19 PM EST

since in an open stance, the kids liked the speed turn. It was slow swinging the gate. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachBehnfeldt

coachjsam Jan 24 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: I think it all depends on stance: butt upfield (backpedal), sideline (shuffle)#swarmfbchat

CoachGrayvold Jan 24 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2 Teaching peddle - Read 3 step, slow to go, fast then dash, tempo WR after 3 step and play the route tree based off release #swarmfbchat

CoachM_Hancock Jan 24 @ 9:20 PM EST

I still use all your front names! #SWARMFBCHAT Miami, Georgia, Directions

In reply to @coach_andyscott

freezysmalls Jan 24 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2 i watched jamyest Williams play and ive been falling more and more for shuffle. For FS and SS play I LOVE catch tech in man #swarmfbchat

CoachKizer Jan 24 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: I'm a backpedal guy but have been at places where shuffle is used. All depends to me on preference and coverage played #swarmfbchat

SSHS_CoachCoons Jan 24 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: we use backpedal but we don't bail out. Read steps are 1 us or less. #swarmfbchat

coach_andyscott Jan 24 @ 9:20 PM EST

Q2/A2 we have gone back and forth, I think both are great depending on your scheme and what you want to do, we shuffle out #swarmfbchat

CoachTLambert Jan 24 @ 9:20 PM EST

Pedal and shuffle drills . Some kids have preference based on ability. #swarmfbchat

KillenBlake Jan 24 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2) have done both.shuffle last two years. Feel like since we are always going to have to open hips, why not start open #swarmfbchat

BenClubb32 Jan 24 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: Depends usually on coverage. Cover 2 usually is more of a shuffle, whereas 3 we like to backpedal #swarmfbchat

CoachKizer Jan 24 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: BP we have good forward lean. Eyes on keys, when you lose cushion on WR in zone, flip and run #swarmfbchat

CarsonRileyDad Jan 24 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: We rotate into shuffle when playing Cov 3. When we do that we are reading thru #2 (would like to use it more tho) #swarmfbchat

jpoth744 Jan 24 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: we are a route read team so we are all flat foot or shuffle read. I love it easier to teach and master for our kids. #swarmfbchat

KillenBlake Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2) I also think it's easier to get into run support if you get a run read if you're shuffling out as opposed to pedaling #swarmfbchat

freezysmalls Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST

nice!!! You put this together? I've been wanting to do this for our youth coaches to teach them as well #swarmfbchat

CoachPierskalla Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST

Sorry I'm late but the Wild are on fire! #swarmfbchat

robertpomazak Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2 Side shuffle read for cov2 , bp for 2 press or 4 n man. Need both skill sets . Some kids need shuffle for pattern reads #swarmfbchat

CoachAmara Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2) DB tech varies by cvg. In C3/combo corners kick-slide-shuffle w butt to sideline. Back pedal in man variations. #swarmfbchat

CoachTWill22 Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: since we press majority we shuffle when we aren't pressed because it's simpler to teach. More time for other things. #SWARMFBCHAT

thomps_03 Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2 back pedal only, 3 step read under control, read route and play. We play a lot of 2 Read or 2 Lock #swarmfbchat

CoachHays13 Jan 24 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: Pedal, everything originates from cov 3 and cov 1 even though we play some quarters. #SWARMFBCHAT

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST

A1: I teach a "slide" technique in 4-Read & off man. I want hot feet & constant gound contact (see CB up top). #SWARMFBCHAT

SSHS_CoachCoons Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2 cont: if we played cov 2 then we would shuffle #swarmfbchat

CarsonRileyDad Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2) FCS d Coordinator suggested to me if DBs are going to play off in a pattern match cov then use shuffle #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 24 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2- I let the kids choose what feels more comfy. I really like the shuffle to allow a good vision of inside WRs and qb. #swarmfbchat

travisraley Jan 24 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2: We've always backpedaled in man and shuffled out in zone. Saban talks about shuffling all the time.Would love to learn more #swarmfbchat

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:24 PM EST

In reply to @freezysmalls

JasonConley20 Jan 24 @ 9:25 PM EST

A2- The shuffle tech also starts the kids in an open stance for vertical routes instead of flipping hips. Already there!! #swarmfbchat

CoachM_Hancock Jan 24 @ 9:25 PM EST

I teach both...some players feel more comfortable with the shuffle or backpedal. Heard at a clinic & tried it. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @rmacblue

robertpomazak Jan 24 @ 9:26 PM EST

love the 3 step read. We call it clueing the Qb . Takes away quick read. Surprise lots of qbs who give it away #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @thomps_03

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:26 PM EST

I have two types: 1) A "feather" or hot-foot shuffle for 2-Read & 2) an open stance "slide" for 4-Read. #SWARMFBCHAT

I have used 5x5 grids on side of practice field for breaks. work top of routes daily #tennis balls! #SWARMFBCHAT

mainly a 3 and 4. Depends on formation. Man was a little tough for us. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachBehnfeldt

freezysmalls Jan 24 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3 drops on air are a must to see route progression. CBs keying on #2 a lot. 2-1 is our usual reads #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 24 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3: Zone Reads are Tackle- High Hat - Pass/Draw -Low Hat - Screen/Run. Route rec is based off of opponent tendencies. Rep Rep!! #swarmfbchat

BenClubb32 Jan 24 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3: Cov. 2 eyes on #2, same for cover 4. #swarmfbchat

CoachTWill22 Jan 24 @ 9:31 PM EST

We route rec almost daily out of 2 and 3 man combos. Start with danger routes vs our coverages. #SWARMFBCHAT

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3 Con't: The best way to work pattern matching is to run a half line. Get reps on top routes to the field & boundary. #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachBFri29 Jan 24 @ 9:31 PM EST

read 2 in quarters and cv 2. in cv 3 read #1, if 1 goes awy immediately eyes go2 #2 look for crner rte or squeeze seam #SWARMFBCHAT

A3) Cov 3- CB reading 1,2,3. If 1 isn't vertical, eyes to 2, if 2 isn't coming to me, expect 3. Keep sinking and reading #swarmfbchat

coach_andyscott Jan 24 @ 9:32 PM EST

Q3/A3 read #2 WR to the EMOL depending on formation in all zone calls, everything depends on 2 to 3 in how aggressive we play 1 #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 24 @ 9:32 PM EST

some kids were very smooth with shuffle while others felt more comfortable in the BP. Let em be comfy and fast. #swarmfbchat

BenClubb32 Jan 24 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3: Running route combos. for players usually is the best teacher. A lot of skeleton drill before team period #swarmfbchat

CoachM_Hancock Jan 24 @ 9:33 PM EST

Do you guys work half field drills? We do with scout O. It's really slowed it down for my guys...they like it #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @CoachTWill22

coachrugs Jan 24 @ 9:33 PM EST

A3: (Cont'd) Reason why we shuffle & with eyes on read/key, w / peripheral vision on Receiver. Cuts the play in half fast! #swarmfbchat

CoachGrayvold Jan 24 @ 9:33 PM EST

A3 REPS! Can't be good at route recognition without seeing constant reps of them. Half line works great. #swarmfbchat

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:33 PM EST

If running a 4-Read (Quarters) scheme, the CBs are techncally in man coverage unless #1 goes underneath right now. Eyes on #1. #SWARMFBCHAT

freezysmalls Jan 24 @ 9:33 PM EST

is that their initial read? Is that not to far for them to read as an initial? #SWARMFBCHAT

depends on the team. If we know they don't run verts well, we may stay in 3 to keep more guys near line. #swarmfbchat

coachjsam Jan 24 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3: half line is the best teacher of route recognition #swarmfbchat

Most coverages stem from #2 . He is not going to lie. Work through Qb for quick then progress to initial reads #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachTLambert Jan 24 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3 read - 2 team as much as possible Release of 2 through run key Emlos --- feet hot #swarmfbchat

KillenBlake Jan 24 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3) continued, 2-Read-CB read #2. Vert=man 1. In= man 1. Out or bubble=break to rob flats. #swarmfbchat

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:35 PM EST

Half line is essential. At least early on in the yr to get the patterns. You wouldnt leave out the front 7 out of fit drills! #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachHoreniHP Jan 24 @ 9:37 PM EST

A4 Press man if anything. But but rarely do. I would rather make a HS qb drive the field than let him beat me with one throw. #swarmfbchat

CoachGrayvold Jan 24 @ 9:37 PM EST

A4 Press/Loose/Zone, we'll do it all. Anybody can play press@man if you teach it right! All about technique. #swarmfbchat

CoachKizer Jan 24 @ 9:37 PM EST

A4: I love being in press. Even in zone coverage I like it just because it limits what a WR can run from the word go #swarmfbchat

CarsonRileyDad Jan 24 @ 9:37 PM EST

A4) if you got the "dogs" play press man, and basically can devote 7-8 to box if you don't then play off man and pattern match #swarmfbchat

coach_andyscott Jan 24 @ 9:37 PM EST

Q4/A4 Off Man unless it's a situation we need to play Press, we blitz a lot so I like for all DB's to see the quicks #swarmfbchat

CoachMoseDBs Jan 24 @ 9:37 PM EST

A3 Lots of 1/2 field coverage vs different route combos. Work read side then short side and flip back and forth. #swarmfbchat

CoachBFri29 Jan 24 @ 9:37 PM EST

A4: depends on scenario, dwn dist. press to control receiver and disrupt timing. creates narrow windows if played proper #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachGrayvold Jan 24 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4 Press/Loose/Zone, we'll do it all. Anybody can play press man if you teach it right! All about technique. #swarmfbchat

CoachCurran42 Jan 24 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4: Press Man!!! #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Jan 24 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4: Press man, limits route tree you will see and forces low % throws. #SWARMFBCHAT

robertpomazak Jan 24 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4 press man if we need to disrupt timing, off or catch is tough to play need great man skills. Do run in long d&d situation #swarmfbchat

coachjsam Jan 24 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4: we don't run much man but we do rep. Personnel should dictate catch or press. Everything turns into man at some point #SWARMFBCHAT

SSHS_CoachCoons Jan 24 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4: Depends on personnel. If we have kids for man we will play both. Like soft man because it looks like cov 4 in our D. #swarmfbchat

thomps_03 Jan 24 @ 9:38 PM EST

A3 we start with single #1 reads, then single #2 reads, then together. Rep recognition everyday #swarmfbchat

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4: Press man when there's help, soft when you don't. 4-Read teams must teach like man for Saf & CBs! #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachHays13 Jan 24 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4: 60/40 man to zone, mostly press, not when read man or read 1 then we gotta back off. Also lock press #1 and read 3 in 3x1 #swarmfbchat

freezysmalls Jan 24 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4 def press man all the way. But I have been growing towards soft zone pattern reads that end up in man coverage #swarmfbchat

Skillutt28 Jan 24 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4. Mostly zone for us, but mix in man at the right times. Both press & soft. Try to disguise our cov. Also what Kid prefers. #swarmfbchat

PigSkinCoach Jan 24 @ 9:39 PM EST

A3 one of thr best things have done is half field with diff route, covs everybody gets reps off/def #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 24 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4: Were a zone team, run zone so we can try & keep everything in front of us. Bend but don't break! In/Out phase always used! #swarmfbchat

CoachM_Hancock Jan 24 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4) We play press and catch man! Also show press and bail! #swarmfbchat

BenClubb32 Jan 24 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4: Like to press. Feel like we can control receiver at LOS. Mix in a fair amount of man/zone. Depends on situation also #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 24 @ 9:40 PM EST

A4: (cont'd) We do run some man, but feel in/out of phase can be used with both schemes. It has really helped our kids. #swarmfbchat

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:40 PM EST

I prefer catch. WRs cant handle space (=indesicion). Hard press leaves U susceptible to quick hitters. Agree, must match pers #SWARMFBCHAT

coachjsam Jan 24 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4: we don't run much man but we do rep. Personnel should dictate catch or press. Everything turns into man at some point #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachTWill22 Jan 24 @ 9:41 PM EST

A4: Loaded answer. Press Quarters. Best of both worlds. And yes, we teach in/out of phase in zone looks. #SWARMFBCHAT

travisraley Jan 24 @ 9:41 PM EST

A4: At corner, we want to press every chance we get. Take away the easy throws and make the O take the low % shots #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 24 @ 9:41 PM EST

A4- in 33, we blitzed a lot. Some zone blitzes but press man if not. Made them take two read steps first tho. No lunging!!! #swarmfbchat

byron49 Jan 24 @ 9:41 PM EST

A4 Moved to press man once I started recruiting basketball players hard. Easy sell to them. "Basketball on grass"#SWARMFBCHAT

thomps_03 Jan 24 @ 9:41 PM EST

A4 we use soft but will press in certain scheme. Want hands on quick to disrupt timing. Would like to move more pre/post snap #swarmfbchat

CoachTLambert Jan 24 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4 ) press no lunging .Let rec come to you. Off hand stabb .pin hip and run! Stay in phase! Out phase close! Look when he looks #swarmfbchat

CoachMHochard Jan 24 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4 we do it all. We will go zone to trips/strength and man to single at times. We press in short yardage. #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachMoseDBs Jan 24 @ 9:43 PM EST

Work Man coverage off and press daily although we're primarily 2read. Will play more/less man depending on players strengths. #SWARMFBCHAT

PigSkinCoach Jan 24 @ 9:43 PM EST

A4 press man is tech work if we are in man we are bringing more then o can block ball is coming out now #swarmfbchat

Have a press man webinar I'll share at the end for anyone who wants an hour long free clinic. #swarmfbchat

CoachAmara Jan 24 @ 9:44 PM EST

A4) like to do both off/press effectively - we'll rep off-man more bcuz level of difficulty w/timing on transitions & leverage #swarmfbchat

coachjsam Jan 24 @ 9:44 PM EST

A4: when I taught DBs I would teach catch then work to press to make them learn not to rely strictly on hands #SWARMFBCHAT

appreciate that coach! #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachGrayvold

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:45 PM EST

CoachTLambert Jan 24 @ 9:45 PM EST

Out of phase must get to man.... forget ball until in phase! Then apply rake /rip ball tech! #swarmfbchat

CoachMoseDBs Jan 24 @ 9:45 PM EST

A4) play motor (catch) man coverage when we are in zero and bringing one more than they can block. Ball has to come out now. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 24 @ 9:46 PM EST

Q5: So...now comes the most asked Q in my DMs...How do you teach PRESS MAN? Coaching points/drills. #swarmfbchat

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:46 PM EST

Press makes you be right all the time. Catch forces the WR choose & makes the off-hand jam easier for the DB (like a pt guard) #SWARMFBCHAT

coachjsam Jan 24 @ 9:44 PM EST

A4: when I taught DBs I would teach catch then work to press to make them learn not to rely strictly on hands #SWARMFBCHAT

JasonConley20 Jan 24 @ 9:47 PM EST

A4- stole coverage from Mich St. play all dbs 7-8 yards off, bring lots of pressure, break on qb quick release. Kinda loose man #swarmfbchat

PigSkinCoach Jan 24 @ 9:48 PM EST

A4 mm is very situational those evil o guys can put kids in conflict quick #swarmfbchat

CoachTLambert Jan 24 @ 9:48 PM EST

Banjo- all goaline man stuff for rubs crosses !!! Play what you get! To avoid Naty result that caught Bama! #swarmfbchat

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5: Teach like 2-Read, but closer to the WR. Inside-eye & feather. I prefer catch ovr hard press-force the WR to make the move. #SWARMFBCHAT

Q5: So...now comes the most asked Q in my DMs...How do you teach PRESS MAN? Coaching points/drills. #swarmfbchat

A5 Feet before hands, VIOLENT punch to get WR outside T, hand to hips, play the low hands to eyes, helmet click on fade ball #swarmfbchat

CoachMoseDBs Jan 24 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5) Tons of mirror drills, working to stay square and being patient with hands so we aren't lunging. Feet first then hands! #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 24 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5: Squared stance,shade inside hip, always take away inside route, force receiver to alter steps, work the hip, stay in phase. #swarmfbchat

CoachAmara Jan 24 @ 9:51 PM EST

A4) I knw coaches who avoid man cvg fearing home run plays, but it allows us 2 disguise blitzes better & eliminates confusion #swarmfbchat

coach_andyscott Jan 24 @ 9:51 PM EST

Q5/A5 whip the WR at the LOS, make him go lateral inside or out never a free vertical release #swarmfbchat

BenClubb32 Jan 24 @ 9:51 PM EST

A5: Slightly inside, low athletic stance. Get a solid punch on receiver and move the feet. Take away inside #swarmfbchat

CoachMoseDBs Jan 24 @ 9:51 PM EST

A5) Eyes on leverage hip 6 inch steps mirroring receiver to stay square. Only two hand jam if he releases within our frame. #swarmfbchat

thomps_03 Jan 24 @ 9:51 PM EST

A5 patient, feet first "pat pat", don't lunge, hand strike, locate hip and read wr #swarmfbchat

jpoth744 Jan 24 @ 9:52 PM EST

A5: Teach catch man just like read tech but in press. Be good at seeing stem working hand placement. #swarmfbchat

The_Coach_A Jan 24 @ 9:52 PM EST

Must feet then hands! Like the lingo-"hands to hips." I think that is key to the cut-off (fade) & topping (slant). #SWARMFBCHAT

Inside leverage a must! Willing to get violent with hands/ Banjo in/outs..and catch and wall all !!! Lbs involved as well! #swarmfbchat

When pressing you must off-hand jam. If you jam with the same side hand you lock your hips. #SWARMFBCHAT

travisraley Jan 24 @ 9:56 PM EST

A5: Main points are 1. Feet first 2. Be patient- Don't open the gate too early 3. Off-hand jam. Mirror Drill is my favorite #swarmfbchat

CoachMoseDBs Jan 24 @ 9:56 PM EST

Nearly exclusively play motor when bringing one more than the offense can pick up. #swarmfbchat

verdimichaelmhs Jan 24 @ 9:56 PM EST
