CoachCamGreene Jan 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

Cameron Greene Dline Palacios HS, Palacios, Tx #SWARMFBCHAT

JasonConley20 Jan 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

I like to see good get off, explosive speed, aggressive hands, and a relentless drive to get to the qb!! #swarmfbchat

Coach__French Jan 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: 6'5 235lbs, runs a 4.4 and can bench 450 and squat 500lbs #swarmfbchat

tsbulldawgs64 Jan 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1) Get off is a great start, but we also focus a ton on hands. I feel using hands is underrated at the HS level. #swarmfbchat

CoachJPWilson Jan 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1, Instinct, Explosiveness, want a fast first step and ability to react to OL technique. #swarmfbchat

CoachDuda Jan 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: Great First Step! An ability to gain as ground as you can. Good Body Lean & Quick Active Hands. #swarmfbchat

3anout Jan 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1. Tenacity #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachKizer Jan 10 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: Great get off, able to use hands/feet/hips well. Has good primary move and reliable counter move. #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: A motor, length, feet, hips and hands. #swarmfbchat

CoachByrd_ Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1 Explosin off the ball, good with hands and just a refusal to be block #SWARMFBCHAT

PLesu07 Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: good burst, good use of hands and insane motor #swarmfbchat

CoachJoshHadden Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: Nasty hands. Great first step. #SWARMFBCHAT

BenClubb32 Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: Strong initial punch and great footwork. Great pass rushers have to get separation #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 10 @ 9:08 PM EST

Q1: Start with the skill set - what are you looking for in a great pass rusher? #swarmfbchat

coachcraig46 Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: Quick get off, hip flexibility, hands, & love a good motor to get to Q..#swarmfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1 Bonus Length sure does help the ability to keep OL off of you makes things a tad easier #swarmfbchat

tsbulldawgs64 Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1) Length is great, but a lot of times your at the mercy of the gene pool. Can make up for it with motor and get off #swarmfbchat

ecust23 Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: a great jump on the snap, great hands, and a great finisher #swarmfbchat

SSHS_CoachCoons Jan 10 @ 9:11 PM EST

Jon Coons Saratoga Springs HS DC/LB/WR coach. Saratoga Springs NY #SWARMFBCHAT

Q1: Start with the skill set - what are you looking for in a great pass rusher? #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

I think we would all like one or two of those!! Haha #swarmfbchat

In reply to @Coach__French

CoachKelleyAHS Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: Height isn't a huge factor, but some long arms DEFINITELY help! #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachWoulfe Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: 6inch Power step and accurate heavy hands #swarmfbchat

CoachBehnfeldt Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: great balance of power and speed, smart, great hands and feet. Relentless and physical. #swarmfbchat

CoachKizer Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 bonus: It's nice to have, and I'll take that. but like most coaches on here, the players motor means more. #swarmfbchat

CoachDuda Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: Great First Step! An ability to change directions. Good Body Lean & Quick Active Hands. Athlete! #swarmfbchat

CoachATerrell Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

Allen Terrell - Blue Valley High School, Kansas City area #swarmfbchat

DCcoachV Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1) quickness, hand speed, bend, tenacity. Do they take to coaching? #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1 (Bonus) I think so. Anytime you can work extension w/ hands & drive/power w/ feet/legs is a bonus. #swarmfbchat

CoachTeacher13 Jan 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: Knows how to use his eyes #swarmfbchat

coachdober Jan 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

Length is definitely a plus if you have it. But need violent hands and a motor to go along with it! #swarmfbchat

In reply to @rmacblue

CoachTWill22 Jan 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: Motor! And yes, if we have the choice, length is better but not nonnegotiable. #GottaGo #SWARMFBCHAT

3anout Jan 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1. Length is HUGE. Our 6'7" could shut down a throwing lane all by himself. He even intercepted a couple of balls at the LOS. #SWARMFBCHAT

coachjsam Jan 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: great bgo, effort, relentlessness, hands, hips and feet. Moves can be taught #swarmfbchat

CoachTeacher13 Jan 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: the smarts to know his role in the bigger picture of the defense #swarmfbchat

CoachBehnfeldt Jan 10 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1B: I don't think it's need but it is not a bad thing to have at the HS level. Lately , we have had length. #swarmfbchat

CoachATerrell Jan 10 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 - get off, motor, violent, heavy hands and quick feet #swarmfbchat

CoachByrd_ Jan 10 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 Bonus Length can defintely help but two best pass rushers I ever coach were 5'11 190 and 5'11 205 #swarmfbchat

CoachJPWilson Jan 10 @ 9:14 PM EST

A1 bonus, length helps, especially for outside rushers being able to maintain separation #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 10 @ 9:15 PM EST

Very nice start - good wish list! Q2 is up in 2 min. #swarmfbchat

CBull9563 Jan 10 @ 9:15 PM EST

A1 Length is a plus if it's used effectively..look at guys like Dumervil/Harrison who r short w/ great leverage & explosiveness #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 10 @ 9:16 PM EST

@CoachWoulfe Why the 6 inch power step on a pass rush? #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachWoulfe

CoachWoulfe Jan 10 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: 6inch Power step and accurate heavy hands #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Jan 10 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1B: Not the end all be all, but creating extention is hard to beat. #swarmfbchat

CoachWoulfe Jan 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

A1: also love when they can separate and continue push to qb without collapsing elbows #swarmfbchat

CoachJPWilson Jan 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

If you ever get a chance, check out DL coach at Iowa State Eli Rasheed. Got GREAT pass rush techniques when he was at Toledo #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER Jan 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

A1) high effort ..... motor #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 10 @ 9:17 PM EST

Q2: Let's move on to STANCE; how do you teach a good pass rush stance? Any specific drills? #swarmfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Jan 10 @ 9:18 PM EST

Get off drill is always a good one but for edge guys need to be closer feet more stagger lower to ground #swarmfbchat

WheresTheCeph Jan 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

A1. Get off, flexibility, hands and creativity. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 10 @ 9:08 PM EST

Q1: Start with the skill set - what are you looking for in a great pass rusher? #swarmfbchat

Coach__French Jan 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: player being comfortable pre-snap is important, everyone's stance is a lil different, must be able to explode/cover ground #swarmfbchat

CoachTeacher13 Jan 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: Been a while since working with DL, but always used to teach biomechanics and highlight inefficiencies vs efficiencies #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER Jan 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2) I want them take as much of the ball as they can, with their up leg under there chest, a little narrow, #swarmfbchat

CoachJPWilson Jan 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2, Narrower feet than base stance, slightly larger feet stagger, heavier on hand with butt higher than shoulders. #swarmfbchat

Coach__French Jan 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: Some guys excel standing up. Have to know your guys. #swarmfbchat

CoachKizer Jan 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: Stance for us really doesn't change much. I love getting them under the chute with hoop going out and set a blocker #swarmfbchat

CoachBehnfeldt Jan 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: I do not teach any different stance for pass rush. I want a balanced stance that we can use against run or pass. #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Jan 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: Each player is different, give them the basics and allow them to be comfortable as long as it is effective. #swarmfbchat

CoachTeacher13 Jan 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: Showing diagnostic film to players of themselves was always huge. #swarmfbchat

CoachDuda Jan 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: Narrow "Track Stance". Heel / Toe Depth. 1st Step, gain as much ground as you can w/Staggered Foot. Stance & Start Drills! #swarmfbchat

CoachKizer Jan 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: Cont: blocker in front and they have to work move off him running the hoop. Set up bag with ball at top to create sack #swarmfbchat

CodyCaseNoSpace Jan 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: I don't teach different stances. Want my guys to get the same explosion off the ball and read their keys as to pass/rush. #swarmfbchat

DCcoachV Jan 10 @ 9:20 PM EST

This is how we approach it. #swarmfbchat

Coach__French Jan 10 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: player being comfortable pre-snap is important, everyone's stance is a lil different, must be able to explode/cover ground #swarmfbchat

Coach__French Jan 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: We do gets off drill under neath the shoot and work juke step and hip flip as one motion out of stance. #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: Lower center of gravity, little bit bigger foot stagger, heavy hands...relentless #swarmfbchat

CoachBehnfeldt Jan 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: we have a read and react drill that we use and pass rush is part of the drill, will include more of it if playing pass team #swarmfbchat

CoachCamGreene Jan 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 get off drill, chutes, big on big vs the pass. #SWARMFBCHAT

tsbulldawgs64 Jan 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2) We talk a lot about more weight forward and weight on the front foot. Weight on the front foot = easier to drive off #swarmfbchat

CoachJoshHadden Jan 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: Ball hand down. Want to be going that way. #SWARMFBCHAT

BenClubb32 Jan 10 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: Heavy on the hand, inside foot slightly up. Can really help on the initial ball get off #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachJPWilson Jan 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2, drill stance and first step daily. We key movement. Never start a drill on verbal cue. #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

gotcha!! This is definitely my weak point of the defense!! Thank you. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachWoulfe

brgredd Jan 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2 whatever is the most explosive first step for a players strength. I coached 1 player to get in 4 point close to ground #swarmfbchat

CoachKizer Jan 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: Will tilt ends in jet stance on occasion to really get them going #swarmfbchat

coachdober Jan 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: slightly narrower base. More weight on hand. Great to work under a shoot to combat tendency of some kids to pop up #swarmfbchat

coachjsam Jan 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2: get as much as you can on the ball. Head behind hands. Track stance. We don't have a special stance for pass rush #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

@rmacblue great stuff #swarmfbchat

In reply to @Coach__French, @rmacblue

CBull9563 Jan 10 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2 Elongate...hand(s) out in front of facemask...butt up...some kids go 3/4 point depending on comfort...gain ground #swarmfbchat

CodyCaseNoSpace Jan 10 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2 cont: One of my EDD's is the Rabbit Drill. Explode under the chute then change direction. Got it from Michigan State. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 10 @ 9:23 PM EST

I really like to see the extra questions and coaching points - really good stuff tonight guys. #swarmfbchat

CoachJPWilson Jan 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2, also do 1 on 1 with OL every week too #SWARMFBCHAT

ecust23 Jan 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2: we do not teach a specific stance for pass rush because most of the teams in our conference are heavy rub teams #swarmfbchat

BenClubb32 Jan 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2: Going through the shoot is usually a daily drill. Always go on ball movement #SWARMFBCHAT

Coach__French Jan 10 @ 9:24 PM EST

we haven't but I'm sure @rmacblue had that in the cards somewhere. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachRmcD60, @rmacblue

JasonConley20 Jan 10 @ 9:25 PM EST

A2: @R2X_Rushmen1 Coach Larry Johnson from OSU is very, very good explaining DL techniques. Check him out if you get a chance. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @R2X_Rushmen1

coachcraig46 Jan 10 @ 9:26 PM EST

A2: saw drill while back with raised speed ladder/cone in front of rusher to work on first step. Chute is great for low get off #swarmfbchat

CoachJPWilson Jan 10 @ 9:26 PM EST

How much cut block do you see in quick pass game? #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachJoshHadden Jan 10 @ 9:26 PM EST

A2: partial to a 4 point for interior, shorter, stocky type players #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 10 @ 9:27 PM EST

Q3: Interesting Q from a fellow coach: When (if ever) do you teach your DL to get hands up to bat down passes? Drills? #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER Jan 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

If we are throwing out college guys we love. Notre Dame's Keith Gilmore, his guys produce in the NFL. #swarmfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Jan 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

as an O line coach we full cut 7-9 times a game #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @CoachJPWilson

tsbulldawgs64 Jan 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

@rmacblue we haven't seen a ton but we teach if our aiming point goes down, hands go down to play off cuts. #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @CoachJPWilson, @rmacblue

CoachATerrell Jan 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

agree Coach. We use chute for all getoffs (pass and run) daily. Tech chute is vital - ability to raise and lower. #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @BenClubb32

coachrugs Jan 10 @ 9:28 PM EST

@rmacblue we sit quite a bit. Why we work hands everyday with our D-Lineman during Indy time. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachJPWilson, @rmacblue

CoachAltmanWM Jan 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

A1: motor. Ive had great pass rushers who werent as good with other things be disruptive due to motor #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachRmcD60 Jan 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

A3 if you aren't gaining ground on rush get your hands up try and bat something down #swarmfbchat

Coach__French Jan 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

A3: Gameplan, if a team does a lot of quick game or if you are trying to keep a quarterback in the pocket. #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Jan 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

A3: At least once a week, build it into our TnT (Tackle and Takeaway) circuit. #SWARMFBCHAT

CBull9563 Jan 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

A2Get offs EDD-cone landmarks-beat OL 2 corner-then have OL either keep shldr vert/ or turn horiz 2 cue arnd crnr or cntr under #swarmfbchat

coachdober Jan 10 @ 9:29 PM EST

A3: internal clock/feel. If you aren't gonna get there, get your arms up and make a diamond to take the ball right from QB hand #swarmfbchat

DCcoachV Jan 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3) I'm interested in what others do. We do not coach this enough. #swarmfbchat

CoachATerrell Jan 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3-when off hand comes off the ball. #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachMocahbee Jan 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3 we have a mirror the hand drill where we are running towards qb we put our hand up as soon as he takes his hand off the ball #swarmfbchat

CoachBehnfeldt Jan 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3: if you can't get there and you see the QB loading up the throw, throw the hands up. I don't like them to do on a free run #swarmfbchat

JasonConley20 Jan 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3: I am no d line coach, but I would have the kids get hands up if their pass rush moves don't work and qb is going his way. #swarmfbchat

CoachKizer Jan 10 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3: We've taught when Q takes off hand off ball to get hands up. Learned great drill to use VB to work this, bounces back 2 U #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER Jan 10 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3)Honestly can ever remember doing a drill for it specifically. I guess during pass rush if he Q breaks hands we coach it then #swarmfbchat

CoachGrayvold Jan 10 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3 feel 3 step, if you take a double, or they cut immediately = get vertical in the air. Go make a play. #swarmfbchat

coachrugs Jan 10 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3: If our DL can't get to QB they are taught "hands up" towards the release process of the QB. #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachDuda Jan 10 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3: We practice it when we face a team that runs a lot 3-Step Drop. Read the QB's eyes and get Hands Up! #swarmfbchat

FBCoachGerman Jan 10 @ 9:31 PM EST

A1 skill set I look for is leverage, hands, create separation, and IQ to know assignment and ID screen draw etc. #swarmfbchat

JRGrayson Jan 10 @ 9:31 PM EST

But used to teach us, if the QB's hands break and you can't get there, get your hands up! #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 10 @ 9:27 PM EST

Q3: Interesting Q from a fellow coach: When (if ever) do you teach your DL to get hands up to bat down passes? Drills? #swarmfbchat

tsbulldawgs64 Jan 10 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3) We teach if you are approaching the QB match his hand with yours. If we have a clear path jumping is a Cardinal Sin. #swarmfbchat

CoachCamGreene Jan 10 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3 anytime it is cloudy meaning many guys around qb. #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Jan 10 @ 9:27 PM EST

CoachMHochard Jan 10 @ 9:32 PM EST

A1) violent hands, quick feet and an absolute love of hunting the QB #swarmfbchat

brgredd Jan 10 @ 9:32 PM EST

We teach our interior lineman to get hands up all of the time. We usually see athletic QB's they can't catch. Drill each day #swarmfbchat

CoachJPWilson Jan 10 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3, as soon as separated from OL get eyes on ball, if QB arm is up & cant get there, get hands up #SWARMFBCHAT

tsbulldawgs64 Jan 10 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3) We'll only jump if we are held up at the line as a last resort. Matching hands has been much more effective for us. #swarmfbchat

FBCoachGerman Jan 10 @ 9:33 PM EST

Q2 we don't not change base stance for pass rushing. We want players to be able to read and react. We may adjust align per call #swarmfbchat

A3 I teach the DL to get hands up to bat a pass when they get stalemated. Only leave feet if QB is in full throwing motion. #swarmfbchat
