  • CoachBradClark Jan 3 @ 9:16 PM EST
    on my way home from the movies on in 10! #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @CoachGinn
  • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 3 @ 9:17 PM EST
    Q2: Specific to Exterior DL (Ends), do you teach spill or box vs puller/kick out/lead? Most guys are asking about vs power. #swarmfbchat
  • SaltWilliams Jan 3 @ 9:17 PM EST
    Getting trapped is sac-religous.......#swarmfbchat
  • CoachKizer Jan 3 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A1: huge to get hands on down block. Protect the LB's, let them flow free and make play. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • s_creechh Jan 3 @ 9:18 PM EST
    It's a pyramid scheme! #SWARMFBCHAT
    • s_creechh Jan 3 @ 9:17 PM EST
      A1: Your key is 1 (tip of shoulder pd) backside of line(og,ot, and etc) is 2 and qb/rb is 3! When 1 goes away find 2 and spill vertical!
  • CoachRmcD60 Jan 3 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2 close down block shovel coal blow up kick out and make play #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCurran42 Jan 3 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2: this was my first year spilling. Loved it! Spill vs. power let the LB's read and run #SWARMFBCHAT
  • SaltWilliams Jan 3 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2: we spill everything up front. 3 rules. Sqeeze it, Spill it, Kill it. PERIOD. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachKizer Jan 3 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: For us we are going to wrong arm/spill unless we are in double eagle front. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • ecust23 Jan 3 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: we teach the DE or edge defender to spill down hard and never square themselves to the block. We feel it makes that block #swarmfbchat
  • CoachBradClark Jan 3 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: We play mainly 4 techs and teach spill everything FB Guard doesn't matter but we also play a 3-4 #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachGinn Jan 3 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: we spill everything we can, even with OLB's we're as fast as any RB/QB who's running sideways #swarmfbchat
  • ecust23 Jan 3 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2 cont: much more difficult. So we have them never square themselves towards that block. Really sets the edge nicely for our D #swarmfbchat
  • CoachMHochard Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2. Destroy pullers. Spill or box it creates chaos for D to SWARM and pursue. This is a Scheme choice. Our DEs crash hard #SWARMFBCHAT
    • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 3 @ 9:17 PM EST
      Q2: Specific to Exterior DL (Ends), do you teach spill or box vs puller/kick out/lead? Most guys are asking about vs power. #swarmfbchat
  • c_elerick Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    Attack the kick block. Hit him right in the face, but know you are responsible for inside gap. #swarmfbchat
  • J_E_Rogers Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2) Contain player force it- squeeze and give the tip. Stay square with inside foot up. So ball bounces don't waste steps. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CODY_GARDNER Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2) down block - squeeze down outside hand to Tackles hip, eyes inside for puller. Stack him up! #SWARMFBCHAT
  • jpoth744 Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2: we teach both as fundamental Tech. I use the spill when we see slot t, wing t teams or 21/22 downhill teams. #swarmfbchat
  • Coach__French Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    cont.... if youre guy is contain player you are probably boxing, if you have help you are spilling, work both #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @Coach__French
  • coachdober Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2: We tell our ends to spill anything that comes their way after they squeeze a downblock. Keep the ball moving horizontally! #swarmfbchat
  • MrHochmuth15 Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2 Ends spill everything to make it bounce out to LBs #swarmfbchat
  • _rwilley Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2) vs. Pull we will wrong arm, force runner outside. vs. Kick out we squeeze maintaining outside arm free. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachMHochard Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2 cont. we try to meet pullers at attack. We aren't passive edge players. Gotta create negative plays. #SWARMFBCHAT
    • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 3 @ 9:17 PM EST
      Q2: Specific to Exterior DL (Ends), do you teach spill or box vs puller/kick out/lead? Most guys are asking about vs power. #swarmfbchat
  • SharonCoach Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2 spill and lbs come over the top. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGrayvold Jan 3 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2 wrong arm and spill. Get that thing bounced to our speed guys and athletes to clean it up. #swarmfbchat
  • BenClubb32 Jan 3 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2: Never have taught the spill tech. We always take the trap on with inside shoulder, squeeze it down and close the gap #SWARMFBCHAT
  • Skillutt28 Jan 3 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2. We wrong arm & spill to LBs. #swarmfbchat
  • PigSkinCoach Jan 3 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2 we work on depth of puller aim head up to inside, stay hot an work on exit under puller and out #SWARMFBCHAT
  • mikestauffer Jan 3 @ 9:21 PM EST
    Mike Stauffer, DC/ILB, Patriot HS, SoCal. I'm late! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachAltmanWM Jan 3 @ 9:21 PM EST
    Rob Altman DL West Memphis AR #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 3 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2: I'm a big fan of spill. Stretches out the play. Also, great with cross training DL as an DE and DT will wrong arm the pull #swarmfbchat
  • brgredd Jan 3 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2 squeeze down, wrong arm, and spill it. we've had trouble in the past getting LB and SS to come up and make the tackle #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCamGreene Jan 3 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: We preferred spill but do teach both to be fundamentally sound. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • jpoth744 Jan 3 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: vs spread teams we will box. I don't want to slow down pass rush when seeing veer/read blocking. We set our fits that way. #swarmfbchat
  • SaltWilliams Jan 3 @ 9:22 PM EST
    No offence. Boxing creates HUGE gaps and allows for N and S runners. Spill and make everything bounce to sidelines #swarmfbchat
  • CoachACraig Jan 3 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: squeeze and spill. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachSReid Jan 3 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2 it depends on if the end is a dive player or pitch man in option. Force guy or spill guy. Call dictates it too. #swarmfbchat
  • KillenBlake Jan 3 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2) We try to spill everything. However Sometime against a TE if our force player is walked up we will box. I want to spill #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Jan 3 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2) 1 exception would be when our Sam places a 9 on the TE, we call it STONE because we will stone pullers, attack sternum #SWARMFBCHAT
  • J_E_Rogers Jan 3 @ 9:22 PM EST
    a2) inside player blow it up by ripping and pry up field. Multiply never want 1 for 1. Get more. #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @J_E_Rogers
  • Coach_Urquhart Jan 3 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2) Spill tech vs puller. But depends on what you're doing defensively. Who is primary force player? Secondary run fits...etc #swarmfbchat
  • Skillutt28 Jan 3 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2. Cont... As long as he has outside edge support. Otherwise has to box & force back inside. #swarmfbchat
  • MrHochmuth15 Jan 3 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2 Ends are taught to get to heel-depth then squeeze their gap and look for pullers #swarmfbchat
  • CoachMocahbee Jan 3 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A3 prefer S end to wrong arm and bounce it our to our dog but W end is more of the contain player so he keeps outside hand free #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 3 @ 9:25 PM EST
    Q3 is coming up in 2 minutes - gonna get philosophical on you! Be ready :) #swarmfbchat

  • CoachHays13 Jan 3 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A2: our end to the flat safety will spill, end to the match safety squeezes. #swarmfbchat
  • cahsfbchat Jan 3 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2 our End was technically a spill guy, we never really taught him either because most teams kicked our OLB #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Jan 3 @ 9:26 PM EST
    I feel like it's as simple as where are your safety(s) 2 high spill box players, 1 high need to box so S can help #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachMocahbee Jan 3 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2 but just like the interior guys we MUST bring the hit!!! No catching! Be a force and disrupt. #swarmfbchat
  • mikestauffer Jan 3 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2. BDSD, hand on hip of down, stay flat, wrong arm and spill. Drilled daily. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLyster Jan 3 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A2: we play 2 calls TE "Key" call tells end to read OT, Down Block spill, also tells M he has fast flow to the edge on Pwr Read #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 3 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Q3: 2-gap vs 1-gap: coaching points of emphasis? PLUS what is the vision key for your N/T? #swarmfbchat
  • cahsfbchat Jan 3 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Also kind of important to note we only really played with one true End #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @cahsfbchat
  • c_elerick Jan 3 @ 9:28 PM EST
    2 gap nose guards are the greatest thing ever! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLyster Jan 3 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A2: Base call involves 7 tech to match TE release, becomes box player and play the jet of Pwr Read #swarmfbchat

    A1: we spill everything. Against block back from center we cross face when ball commits. A2: squeeze and spill #SWARMFBCHAT
  • cahsfbchat Jan 3 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3 At our level we 1 gapped, but one year we did have our Nose two gap based on Centers block #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 3 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: Personally, I would start every off-season with teaching 2-gap principles and OL run blocks. Then decide to say or 1-gap. #swarmfbchat
  • coachjsam Jan 3 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A2: have a base way to play but a call will switch the responsibility between DE and OLB #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachGinn Jan 3 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: try to 1 gap as much as possible, LBs will fit to make D-Line right. Shaded Nose in our 3-3 keys C, Head Up knock C back! #swarmfbchat

    Bad pad level (i.e. Peeking in the backfield) #SWARMFBCHAT
  • Coach__French Jan 3 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: 2gap, explode out and "bite the chin", shoot hands at 33 (arm pits) get extension and read the block and defeat the block #SWARMFBCHAT
  • coachdober Jan 3 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: 1-gap. N/T target near armpit of o-line key. Mentality is to physically dominate their key and patiently maintain their gap #swarmfbchat
  • CoachKizer Jan 3 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: Vision key is the ridell of man lined up on. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • _rwilley Jan 3 @ 9:30 PM EST

  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 3 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A3: I prefer one gap and the Read&React method of playing. Read hips and react to block, while owning your gap. Easy to teach #swarmfbchat
  • Skillutt28 Jan 3 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A3. We are 3-3. We 1 gap, sometimes our N will 2 gap. Our N has been smaller, quicker. Let him beat C & be disruptive. #swarmfbchat
  • SaltWilliams Jan 3 @ 9:30 PM EST

    A2: we are a squeeze and spill team we want teams to have to run the ball wide and not off tackle or inside #swarmfbchat
  • _rwilley Jan 3 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A3) Cont'd NG is taught to swing hips in double, try to split, if losing the battle make a pile. #swarmfbchat

  • CoachMHochard Jan 3 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A3 1 gap. Takes a special player for 2 gap. I'd run 3-4 with a 2gap NT if I could. That's my dream. #swarmfbchat
  • Coach_Urquhart Jan 3 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A3) 1-Gap don't make them think too much..play fast #swarmfbchat

  • mikestauffer Jan 3 @ 9:36 PM EST
    A3. 1 gap. Don't assign LBs a gap per se, open/closed windows for them. #swarmfbchat
  • Hbfootball Jan 3 @ 9:36 PM EST
    A3: Trying 2 gaps clouded the LBs read. #SWARMFBCHAT

    Shock n shed is a staple for our secondary guys. Just as important for them to learn how to play the run! #swarmfbchat
    • J_E_Rogers Jan 3 @ 9:51 PM EST
      totally agree always an issue for all D guys. We do shock n shed part of our circuit for all.

    A5 I also like to work goal line and see who is really WORKING #SWARMFBCHAT
  • MrHochmuth15 Jan 3 @ 9:54 PM EST
    Can't beat it especially when facing unique offenses from week to week with different keys. #swarmfbchat
    • CoachKizer Jan 3 @ 9:51 PM EST
      A5: Good ole inside drill with DL/LB's. Especially in season to rep fitting off top runs you'll see from other ten on Friday. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 3 @ 9:54 PM EST
    Quickly - I see a lot of Inisde Run answers...when do you like 1/2 line vs full line? #swarmfbchat
  • Coach__French Jan 3 @ 9:54 PM EST
    I saw a huge improvement in players reacting to blocks from using this #swarmfbchat

    A4: BGO! Most important then violent hands to destroy blocks. Understand pressure and how to beat it. #swarmfbchat
  • Derick_Pitts Jan 3 @ 9:54 PM EST
    A2: Part 1, I've coached the front in 3-4 and a 4-3, all depends on the look, if a guy is pulling to us I love to spill that #swarmfbchat
  • BenClubb32 Jan 3 @ 9:55 PM EST
    A5: 1 on 1 drills always one of my favorites. Brings out competition and chance to really coach your DL up. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachBradClark Jan 3 @ 9:55 PM EST
    A5 part 2 wrong arm drill live with chutes! @CoachGinn #SWARMFBCHAT

    A4) We read the near knee. Foot at you = base block, foot back = pass, knee extends = down block, knee lateral = reach #swarmfbchat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 3 @ 9:55 PM EST
    A5: cont. and the DE had to read the QB for shuffle or turned back. If read, attack mesh. If power, wrong arm contact ball. #swarmfbchat
  • ecust23 Jan 3 @ 9:55 PM EST
    A5: our pursuit drill. Coaches and players like it. Fend off a double team, attack and full tackle the shadowman. It's awesome #swarmfbchat
  • tsbulldawgs64 Jan 3 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A4) we do all sorts of read and react. One on one, half line, g-c-g, and full line. Important for LBs to see too #SWARMFBCHAT
  • SaltWilliams Jan 3 @ 9:56 PM EST
    I also love 3 on 3. 2 DL and an LB 2 OL and a RB. LEGGO!!! #swarmfbchat
  • coachjsam Jan 3 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A5: Run fits #swarmfbchat
  • giveawaykudo Jan 3 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A5: Open close drill. We split up ends with Sams and Wills. Mikes with DTs. Teaches angles and leverage. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCurran42 Jan 3 @ 9:56 PM EST
    I like full line. I'm not a huge fan of half line unless we're down #'s #SWARMFBCHAT
  • Derick_Pitts Jan 3 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A2: part 2, way the End can play fast and can continue doing what we coach play fast and hard screaming down the line #swarmfbchat
  • jpoth744 Jan 3 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A5: Pods and inside run. I put us in a negative situation. 9 off vs 7 def or 2 on 1. Must play with effort! Must destroy blocks #swarmfbchat
  • Derick_Pitts Jan 3 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A2: part 3, after he gets his read. Always attacking half the man, the V of the neck. He wrong arms and turns it up field. #swarmfbchat
  • BenClubb32 Jan 3 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A5: Inside run is also great to get LBs involved. Can really see run fits and make sure every gap is accounted for #swarmfbchat
  • coachdober Jan 3 @ 9:57 PM EST
    1/2 line Monday or Tuesday when teaching fits for that week. Slow it down and teach as we go through the each concept. #swarmfbchat

    A4) Reading keys is the best way to get your DL playing fast and making plays. Tells you what the play is. Should be an EDD. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachSReid Jan 3 @ 9:57 PM EST
    love working double team and scoop blocks with ILB to show them who can make the play if OL stays or leaves #swarmfbchat
  • CodyCaseNoSpace Jan 3 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A5: Team Run versus a motivated Scout OL. Of course, that's easier said than done. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGinn Jan 3 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A5: we did 1 on 1's good on good this year on Tues. & Wed. Kids got excited & competitive & helped us in pass rush! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCamGreene Jan 3 @ 9:58 PM EST
    A5. Inside run can give a clear picture on where everyone fits. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 3 @ 9:58 PM EST
    A5: Contact ball drill #swarmfbchat
  • jpoth744 Jan 3 @ 9:58 PM EST
    A5: I'm not a hat for hat coach on pods and inside run! I like to be at a deficit in practice to defeat doubles reach zone to #swarmfbchat
  • tsbulldawgs64 Jan 3 @ 9:58 PM EST
    @rmacblue this is so true. Smarter defense is a faster defense. #SWARMFBCHAT

    DL coaches on #SWARMFBCHAT be like it's our turn! Lol
  • PigSkinCoach Jan 3 @ 9:59 PM EST
    One on one drills are good spring/early camps days but most of us don't have #s know what your working with and teach tough #SWARMFBCHAT
  • SaltWilliams Jan 3 @ 9:59 PM EST
    I dont know about you guys but Im locked and loaded with all this DL talk. Lets get the boards out!!! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWoot1 Jan 3 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A5: I'll implement a mesh/counter period with the freshmen front 6 so they can get the reps #SWARMFBCHAT
  • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 3 @ 9:59 PM EST
    Coaches - my thanks for chiming in tonight/great learning going on! Be sure to visit our friends at @JustPlaySS for demo/trial #swarmfbchat

  • Spread_Defense Jan 3 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A5: We do Inside Run on Tuesday. 1/2 Line on Wednesday. We also will do 1 on 1 run, GCG vs 2DT & 2LB, TG vs DE & LB #swarmfbchat
  • s_creechh Jan 3 @ 9:59 PM EST
    Gets us a good luck at all phases! Gap/Zone/Read option! #SWARMFBCHAT
    • s_creechh Jan 3 @ 9:58 PM EST
      A5: We bird dog middle and perimeter run game! Both OG and C go against N/T with M/W rotating middle! In perimeter we use our DE/$W!
