PASS RUSH
SINCE WE ARE A SLANTING DEFENSE,WE EXPECT OUR DEFENSIVE LINEMENTO ALWAYS BE IN PASS RUSH MODE.
OUR RUN READS AND PASS READS ARENO DIFFERENT. WE SLANT- FIND THEBALL THEN RUN, RUN, RUN.
BUT BECAUSE OUR DL WILL ENGAGE
THE OL AFTER THEY HAVE LOSTGROUND TO CUT US OFF WE MUST USEMORE TRADITIONAL PASS RUSH MOVES.

THE INTERSECTION
WE TALK ABOUT BEATING THE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN TO THE INTERSECTION. THE
INTERSECTION IS THE POINT AT WHICH HE TRIES TO CUT OFF YOUR SLANT.
IF WE BEAT THE OL TO THE INTERSECTION WE CONTINUE WITH OUR RIP AND WORK UP
FIELD, IF HE KICKS OUT OR BACK AND BEATS US, WE MUST FLIP OUR HIPS AND WORK A
MOVE.

WHAT A GOOD PASS RUSHER
MUST ACCOMPLISH You must constrict the QBs area. You must not give the QB time to look around or
throw to a secondary receiver.
You must force him out of his area and throw on therun.
You must cause the QB to lose confidence in hisblockers.
You must keep your feet moving up field, if yourfeet stop you are dead.
You must not get out of your lane.

Principles of pass rush
1. A pass defense is only as good as its rush.
2. You must get off the ball.3. Your transition to pass read must be
seamless.
4. You must flip your hips and grab cloth.5. Never attack a full man.
6. Always have a counter move ready.

A pass defense is only as good as
its rush.
You only have 3 seconds to get to the
QB so you cant have any wastedmovement.
Force the QB to make bad decisions.

Hip flip
The most essential element of pass rush.
You must create separation with the offensivelineman.
If you dont create separation he will hold you.
By flipping your hips you not only createseparation, but you assure yourself that he will
only get of your body.

Everyday musts Bull rush
Everything starts from a bull rush.
If the offensive lineman is leaning back,accelerate your feet and bull rush.
This is the only time you will not flip your hips.
Push the offensive lineman into thequarterback.
Be ready with a counter in case the offensivelineman anchors.

Schedule
When we are in individual defense (20minutes,) the defensive linemen will mostly
work run reads. When we go to skelly (20minutes) they will shift to pass reads.
Our defensive line coach will work the same setof drills everyday. We feel that it is better for us
to be great at a few things that average at abunch of different skills.
