    A1) Gotta start base; anything else is a temporary fix when things go wrong! #425chat
  • CoachBlacha Jan 12 @ 9:09 PM EST
    Phillip Blacha OL just learning the ways of my enemies.... I mean friends* lol #425chat
  • CoachHays13 Jan 12 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: Never in a rush! Fundamentals always trump scheme, if we don't have complicated blitz package at scrimmage one, so be it.#425chat
  • GreenwellTodd Jan 12 @ 9:10 PM EST
    Seeing this more in Louisville. Here to get a beret feel how you manipulate your pieces to gain advantage. #425chat
  • CodyCaseNoSpace Jan 12 @ 9:10 PM EST
    Probably just going to watch tonight. We don't run this defense, so I'll take the opportunity to learn. #425chat
  • joehood2288 Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Start with base and add when you are good in base #425chat
  • coachrugs Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Base D Shade- Shade/5 to WS - 3/5 to Strength -Zone cover team - Stance/Steps/alignment/reads/keys is 1st for us. #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat
  • CoachBicker Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Three day install; 1. Base 2. Checks vs. uniques 3. Blitz package. Repeat all summer. #425chat
  • brgredd Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1 base needs to be installed first. Everything else should be a progression from your base #425chat
  • Coach_JGill Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Install vs O groupings. Day 1 is 2x2. Can be 10/11/12 etc. Work 3x1, empty & so on. Pair up stunts/blitz w/ O install. #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    First four questions are install! Last two will be about trips alignment and FIB! #425chat

    @Def425chat Coaches, anyone cross train safeties to play strong and weak so they can stay on one side? #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 12 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1: Base D with alignment/assignment/coverage. Work most common formations first, then throw in unique formations.#425chat
  • coachDCope Jan 12 @ 9:12 PM EST
    We always start base do not move on until we get the basics. Two fronts one coverage. Move onto stunts simple to complex #425Chat
  • coachcoker02 Jan 12 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1: get base D in. First to 2x2, then 3x1, then 2 back followed with adjustments/pressures #425chat
  • CoachBicker Jan 12 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1: 3 day install. 1. Base. 2. Checks vs uniques. 3. Blitzes. Repeat all summer #425chat
  • runyan25 Jan 12 @ 9:12 PM EST
    how long do you rep base before you start to add stuff in? #425chat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • Coach_JGill Jan 12 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Should be able to line up & play our base vs any set/motion/trade. If you can't execute base D the rest is a waste. #425chat

  • mikestauffer Jan 12 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1) Start with base front and cover, move on with adjustments as they get it down before moving on #425chat
  • CoachJPWilson Jan 12 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1) Base installed in summer/doubles, add each week as we go through season. Some years do more, depends on 🏈IQ of guys #425chat
  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 12 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1 It depends what your kids can handle and what you have coming back. We definitely will get the basics of the scheme in. #425chat

    A1: Day 1 Base against 21 pers and 2x2's, Day 2 base against 3x1's, Day 3 motion adjustments. No blitz till we can align right. #425chat
  • CoachCigs Jan 12 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A1 - rep the heck out of base. Focus on alignment, assignment, responsibility, & running to the football #425chat
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:14 PM EST
    I like this a lot to help get kids seeing the major differences in personnel! #425chat

    Do you coach the safeties yourself? Or all DBs together? Is it easier for you in the long run? Have you tried it both ways? #425chat

  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 12 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2 We are fortunate to have kids playing in 7on7 leagues outside of school that starts in Dec. #425chat
  • CoachGrayvold Jan 12 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3 THE BASICS. All the flash and jazz is nice, but if you don't have the basics down before you put everything else in, not good. #425chat
  • coachrugs Jan 12 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3: Not important to rush things. Feel if we can't play our base D, then it will be a long year. Our Base D is the most important. #425chat
  • ChaosTempo Jan 12 @ 9:27 PM EST
    We play field/boundary as much as possible. #425chat

    A3 Alignment Assignment Execution #425chat
  • The_Coach_A Jan 12 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: Formations are the foundation of the call sheet. If we can't line up then it doesn't matter. Foundational calls in 3 days. #425chat
  • mikestauffer Jan 12 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3) How to line up! Tackling and pursuit #425chat
  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 12 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3 Since we have 2 strength calls for the front and back ends, formation recognition and alignment are very important. #425chat
  • CoachCigs Jan 12 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3 - quick install is not important to us. Base is our best play call! #425chat
  • joehood2288 Jan 12 @ 9:30 PM EST
    Installing quick is not important at all, knowing what we are doing on every snap is of most importance #425chat
  • CoachJPressley Jan 12 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A3: Our DC does a great job of pacing depending on the players. I think it's important to know your kids and not overwhelm them. #425chat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 12 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A3: I want to get in base alignment/assignment in early summer so we can get as much repetition as we can before 7on7, scrimmages #425chat
  • Coach_JGill Jan 12 @ 9:31 PM EST
    Base is always key. "ASKA" Alignment Stance Key Assignment (Run to, Run Away, Pass) #425chat

  • Coach_JGill Jan 12 @ 9:32 PM EST
    We'd set it to left most likely unless we have big tendency breaker. Most O's right handed. #425chat

    Q4: Does anybody have any helpful doc. or organization tool that work for laying out your install? Like an excel doc or something?#425chat
  • The_Coach_A Jan 12 @ 9:34 PM EST
    Totally agree. Outside of foundational principles, your scheme has to be fluid & adaptive. Down to your practices & install! #425chat

    A4 We map out what we want installed but all depends on how good we are mastering the perquisites before we move to next phase #425chat
  • CoachJPWilson Jan 12 @ 9:39 PM EST
    A4) We go off site for 4 days in August, coaches meet between practices to adjust install plan. Different each year by personnel #425chat
  • The_Coach_A Jan 12 @ 9:40 PM EST
    A4: PowerPoint & add value with HUDL cut-ups. #425chat

  • ChaosTempo Jan 12 @ 9:41 PM EST
    Have thought about it lots, not sure why we never have. Makes sense though. #425chat
    • CoachJPressley Jan 12 @ 9:37 PM EST
      @Def425chat Seems most of you are playing Field/Boundary safeties. Is anyone playing strictly L/R Safeties? Thoughts? #425chat

    A4 Our coaching staff creates a preseason install of fronts stunts blitzes coverages. We review daily to see if kids are ready #425chat
  • CoachCigs Jan 12 @ 9:42 PM EST
    A4 - we always have a plan in place (OTA Install, Camp Week, First Week of Practice). Don't move on until we master concepts #425chat
  • coachehret Jan 12 @ 9:42 PM EST
    A4 We have everything mapped out pre-camp but it changes rapidly based on how much our kids absorb #425chat

    PowerPoint. It's actually really easy to make. Just takes some time on the front end. #425chat
  • BigNuts55 Jan 12 @ 9:44 PM EST
    A4: Google Slides. Image search an offensive line template &use it as a background on the slide.It's tedious, but easy #425chat

  • coachDCope Jan 12 @ 9:46 PM EST
    I have used power point HUDL & playmaker pro. To me all about the same. Good in all three. The more you use them the easier it gets #425Chat
  • rmacblue Jan 12 @ 9:46 PM EST
    Q5) Nothing with numbers; we adjust using spacing and depth. Like keeping our flat defender closer to the box when in boundary #425chat

  • mikestauffer Jan 12 @ 9:48 PM EST
    A5) Sam & FS to field. Will and SS in boundary. 3 tech per formation (TE, RB, Field, single WR side vs trips) #425chat
  • CoachJPressley Jan 12 @ 9:48 PM EST
    @Def425chat I'm leaning toward playing strictly L/R. I think it simplifies it for our kids and allows us to JUST PLAY more. Right? #425chat

    FIB is from the pit of Hades and must be treated as such. #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 12 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A5: may run more of a cover 3 vs cover 6 with trips into boundary. Depending on where bunch is, we press Mid WR or play outside #425chat
  • Coach_JGill Jan 12 @ 9:51 PM EST

    A5 - we play a 3/5 tech to the FIB and press the bunch formation #425chat
  • Th3K1nG15 Jan 12 @ 9:52 PM EST
    A5: We press with the sam to the boundary and will to the field. Run right and left safeties so no change. #425chat
  • CoachHays13 Jan 12 @ 9:52 PM EST
    We play the numbers 1st the field 2nd,so doesn't really change us much, may lock the BS CB and bring wk S down for edge support #425chat

    A5) last year 3x1= 2 high spin to 3 buzz or 3 cloud and didn't see much bunch = C1 press the point and banjo #1 & #3 #425chat
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 12 @ 9:53 PM EST
    Q6: Favorite alignment and coverage vs basic 3x1 and why? Into the boundary and field. #425chat

    Was always QQ half, really loving lock 1 and read 2-3. Treats us better vs 3 level flood. #425chat

  • coachDCope Jan 12 @ 9:55 PM EST
    #425chat three cloud to sprint out in 3x1 is a great coverage

    A6) Zone to trips, man backside. Never allow offense to dictate my base. Adjuster is coming from anywhere I want! #425chat
  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 12 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A5 Still set secondary strength to trips. We would either play a 40 coverage or special on trips side, zero 1WR side and bring WS #425chat
  • The_Coach_A Jan 12 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A6: Stress. Allows you to stay 2-hi & keep the extra run fitter to the fld (CS). Even w/ a soft CB the Will can attack the scrn. #425chat
  • CoachGrayvold Jan 12 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A6 These 2 right here #425chat
  • ChaosTempo Jan 12 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A6 Day 1 is 1/4, 1/4, 1/2 Can sky/cloud to single receiver side and play weak corner differently based on d&d, other factors. #425chat
  • coachrugs Jan 12 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A6: Can zone too, & man BS or Zone all the way through w/ a robber BS. We have auto adj to whatever is thrown at us. #425chat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 12 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A6: cover 6, got 2 deep, 2 under. LB can help with 3 and we can double BS WR with S and C hi-lowing. Got BSLB for HB. Solid.#425chat
  • CoachJPressley Jan 12 @ 9:57 PM EST
    Honestly, that's my reason for considering it. We have so many two way kids that I want to simplify everything. #425chat
    In reply to @CoachJonShaw
  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 12 @ 9:58 PM EST
    A6 1) 40 with a robber 2)special. #425chat

    A4.) PowerPoint is easiest and most convenient for me in designing play books. Struggle showing spacing tho #425chat
  • CoachGrayvold Jan 12 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A6 Here's one variation I like, stole it from Alabama #425chat
  • CoachByrd_ Jan 12 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A6) basic 3x1= 3 Buzz keep LB's in box to worry about run and no vertical threat and get flood coverage(4vs3) to 3x1 side #425chat
  • coachDCope Jan 12 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A6 we will base our coverage on what opponent does. We must stop what they run we have a couple of diff ways to play it #425Chat
  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 12 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A6) 1. 42 2. 40 w/robber 3. Special #425chat
  • Coach_V_ Jan 12 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A4: https://t.co/Or1GhSkEUk along with the snipping tool for Hudl scripts and PowerPoint are all good for org. of install #425chat
