JOHN RICE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR CANYON SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL MORENO VALLEY, CA (951) 537-9902 zacoach102@aol.com

Pressure Component • Pressure concepts carry over from base package to eliminate new teaching • We are sending 4, 5, or 6

Coverage Components

• Bracket • Man coverage • Dime Assignment

Bracket Component

• Begin teaching in Spring, carry on through Summer • Utilize extensively in 7 on 7 during summer • May play “up/back” or “under/over” • Must practice checks vs. motion from day 1

Bracket Technique (in and out)

Z Z C C F Free Safety maintains inside leverage on all routes on the outside of passing tree Corner maintains outside leverage on All routes on the outside of passing tree

Bracket Technique (in and out)

7-8 yds deep

F C Free Safety maintains inside leverage on all routes on the outside of passing tree Corner maintains outside leverage on All routes on the outside of passing tree

Dime ($) Assignment Component

• Taught during summer • Work on it during 7 on 7 during the summer • 4 techniques, 1 for each assignment – Hole (Low Hole) – Robber (High Hole) – Deep Middle (“Free”) – Deep Half (“Deep”) – Off Man (covering for blitzing Spur)

Man Coverage Component

• May assign press man technique or off man technique • Concept is a carry over from base package, eliminating new teaching • Inside press technique (inside/outside bracket) and trail man technique (under/over technique) is taught

Bracket-Pressure Schemes

• 1 bracket • Duo • Dime Lock • Vise (Spur or Bandit) • Numbers

From Base Package

• 1 bracket package (Free safety & pass defender on one receiver) • “Duo” package

1 Bracket Package (from Base)

• Free Safety is in bracket coverage with a defender and a pre-determined receiver.

• Example- if double coverage is desired on #89, then the huddle call would be: • “(blitz) 1 bracket #89) • Of 3 stacked Linebackers, two will blitz; the remaining backer will play a low hole technique

1 bracket

Linebacker play in “1 bracket”

“1 Bracket” Formation/Motion Checks

Formation/Motion: Check: Trips/Motion to Trips Empty/Motion to Empty Play it Ram or Lion man on #3, Tiger or Ox Bracketed Player in the backfield Play it with in-out alignment adjustment

Q-What if a team starts sending the back into the pass route?

Answer-Although it is NOT part of the bracket/pressure package,the “Hang” strategy is an answer to this offensive strategy.

Dime “Hang”

“Hang” Package

• Utilized exclusively to defend offensive strategy of releasing back into pass routes • Is a combination coverage – Man coverage with no safety help – Spur and Bandit are flat defenders

Numbers package

Numbers Package with Pressure

• When double-bracket coverage with pressure is desirable as part of a package • May play single bracket with pressure if desired • When a team places their best receiver at various positions in the offensive formation
