Coach George brings valuable Big 10 and MAC coaching experience to this defensive presentation. In 2005, Coach George mentored all-league defensive end Victor Adeyanju, who was a fourth round selection of the St. Louis Rams in the 2006 NFL Draft. In this DVD he shares his knowledge on defending the Spread in a detailed and easy to follow fashion. Though the 4-3 defense is highlighted, George stresses that the principles can be applied to many defensive strategies. To defend the spread, a coach must know the offense's objectives. The prime offensive objective in the spread is to isolate skilled players on lesser skilled athletes. Four keys to stopping the spread are stressed including mixing up and disguising coverages, and having solutions for open gaps within the box. George presents game-tested concepts that have proven successful against the spread. Using automatic front call to the running back, and "Gap" calls are two important adjustments against the spread. Also demonstrated with game footage are the Back Cat, Q Cat and Alley Cat. Solutions to the bubble and flat problems are created with Check Curl against twin receivers. Another adjustment is the Empty coverage adjustment, ignoring the #1 receiver. George uses game footage to specifically analyze the priority coverages against the spread. The popularity of the Spread offense has swept through football programs across the country. Take the concepts and principles presented here to solidify your defensive attack against any spread offense.

The recent popularity of the Spread Offense has forced coaches to prepare consistently for this offensive attack. To be effective and successful today, coaches must know how to defend and defeat the Spread. Coach Coombs believes that a good marriage exists between the 50 defense and defending the Spread. Playing smaller, faster players is an important part of defending the Spread. Deciding between single and double-coverage against receivers is a big consideration. Line-up factors are described by Coombs as well as disguising whether the defense is playing cover 2, 3 or 4. Detailed analysis of cover 2, 3, 4 and Trips Cover 2 are included in Coombs' presentation. The 4 deep, 3 under coverage in Trips puts pressure on the defensive backfield while the right end is the rusher. A great wrap up to this DVD is game footage highlighting the Colerain Cardinal defense. This presentation can help fortify your defense every night against the popular Spread Offense!
