Cover 3 vs 4 Verticals | Quick Clinic 223
July 29, 2020 09:30 - 17 minutes - 12.4 MBIf you've decided to simplify your defense with a spot drop coverage, you're probably looking at how to play cover 3 vs 4 verticals. Coaches are realizing the value of the spot drop cover 3's simplicity but offensive coaches are licking their chops to attack it, too. This week's episode of the JDFB Quick Clinic looks at key points for coaching the deep third defenders. From the basics of Cover 3 alignment and the zone turn, to the much more difficult question of how to stop those 4 vertica...

Defending Jet Sweep Motion | QC Episode 221
July 15, 2020 09:30 - 20 minutes - 14.6 MBThere's a special challenge for linebackers in defending jet sweep motion. When they see it, they forget everything they've been taught and start chasing the shiny object. The Jet Sweep run play is a lot more dangerous because of what it does to your defenders, than it is as an actual yardage gainer. This week's JDFB Quick Clinic focuses on how to adjust to Jet Sweep motion. It doesn't matter what defensive front you're running, because your defensive front shouldn't be the ones trying to ...
Offensive Line Drills | QC Episode 220
July 08, 2020 09:30 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MBGet the best Offensive Line Drills so you get the best performance out of your Offensive Linemen. Your practice time is too limited to run hundreds of different drills. What drills should actually run? Over the past couple years, since turning to the 90 Minute Practice Plan, I've had to really examine just which Offensive Line drills were worth what little practice time we had to work. 80/20 for Offensive Line Drills Enter the Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 Rule. Just in case you don't...
What to Tag in Hudle | QC Episode 219
June 24, 2020 09:30 - 30 minutes - 21.9 MBCoaches can learn a lot from tagging your game film in Hudl. You can also waste a lot of time. Hudl and other video analysis tools are a powerful tool for football coaches. Not only can you can quickly share film with your next opponent, your entire staff and all of your players. But you can get a ton of data when you tag your film properly. The problem a lot of coaches run into is figuring out what to tag to actually get a real result.

Run Fits Without Speed | QC Episode 218
June 17, 2020 09:30 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MBCan you still spill the football with slow linebackers? Find out why teaching run fits isn’t about your players’ talents. This week’s question for the JDFB Quick Clinic is about the spill technique in the Miami 4-3 Defense, but it’s about more than that. This is about the importance of consistent teaching. And it’s about myths and misconceptions in coaching. The idea that one defense works for this type of player, or one style works for another set of athletes - and you should jump arou...
Coaching Long Stick Technique for Zone Blitz | QC Episode 217
June 10, 2020 09:30 - 15 minutes - 10.9 MBLong Stick Technique is used by Defensive Ends in zone blitzes like the America’s Fire Zone. Find out how to coach it.

But you can get yourself in trouble in a hurry. The Long Stick technique is critical. This is how we get the defensive end to control A gap if he’s needed there - and how to get him in on the play when he’s no...
33 Stack Linebacker Reads | QC Episode 216
June 03, 2020 09:30 - 19 minutes - 13.3 MBWhat’s the best key to read for Linebackers in the 33 Stack Defense? Don’t make it hard. Lots of coaches have tried lots of different reads for linebackers over time. We’re all looking for that perfect answer so that no matter what happens, we can tell our linebackers that if they just read their key they’ll always be right. That leads to a lot of over-complicated key reads. And the 33 Stack Defense is no different. In today’s episode we’ll talk about the options you have for teaching k...

Quarterbacks in the Run Game | QC Episode 214
May 20, 2020 09:45 - 12 minutes - 9.01 MBWhat do you do when you’ve got a dangerous running Quarterback, but your offense isn’t geared to him? You adjust. Any Offensive System that is worth its salt is able to utilize the best athletes on the field. If that’s not the case, you don’t have a System. Because you’re going to have to completely change the offense for a special athlete one day. In the Pistol Power Offense System, we have multiple ways to utilize athletes all over the field. Today’s question is about using the Quarte...
Iso Run Play Blocking | QC Episode 213
May 13, 2020 09:30 - 19 minutes - 13.5 MBThe Iso Run Play is a classic downhill run play. But how can you make it safe in the modern game of football? This was a great question from a listener in response to an email I sent out last week. Like many of you, I’ve been watching a lot of old football… because there’s no new football. And those old school fullbacks got me thinking. What a great position! Lots of I-Formation running plays, and the Iso run play is one of the favorites. But the blocking… is it safe? Can we run this dow...
Linebacker Personnel in the 4-3 Defense | QC Episode 212
May 06, 2020 09:30 - 16 minutes - 11.1 MBWhat’s the ideal personnel for your 4-3 Defense Linebackers? Find out where to put your studs so you’re ready to dominate. The Miami 4-3 Defense has been around since the early 1980s. One of it’s most impressive qualities is the versatility in adapting to the evolution of offensive football over the last 4 decades. But that’s caused a little bit of a change in where you place your 4-3 Defense Linebackers to put them in the best position. In today’s episode, we’ll talk about where to ...
How Long to Get Ready for the Season? | QC Episode 211
April 29, 2020 09:30 - 25 minutes - 17.3 MBNo one knows when or if the 2020 High School Football Season will start. But we need to be prepared. I’ve heard this question a lot - so today’s episode is not a response to one particular question. It’s a response to a lot of questions from a lot of places, and related to the pandemic that is affecting all of our lives right now. How long does a High School football team actually need to get ready? I’ll share my thoughts on it here (and it’s not long). But football coaches are going t...
Safety Reads, Empty Formations & More Mailbag | QC Episode 210
April 22, 2020 09:30 - 11 minutes - 8.42 MBNow these are some good questions. Time to get back in a different sort of mailbag. Usually when we do a mailbag show, it’s just a huge collection of stuff that wasn’t enough for a full episode from my Twitter DM’s. Not this time. This time it’s 4 questions from an email I sent out, hitting a little bit of everything. Here’s the topics… Best advice for a young coach OL vs DL Player Traits Defending Empty Sets Safety Reads These were a responses to listener questions sent by emai...
Jet Sweep Counters | QC Episode 209
April 15, 2020 09:30 - 20 minutes - 12.7 MBThe Jet Sweep is a great play, if you use it right in your offense. The big advantage comes from the counters. Today’s JDFB Quick Clinic question is a great one. It’s about running counters off the Jet Sweep motion. Probably my favorite reason to even put the Jet Sweep in the playbook. In the Pistol Power Offense System, Jet Sweep is a fairly cheap play to install. You just use the same blocking as our basic stretch play. But it can have big advantages if you’re using the ‘counters’ we ...
Play Defense at the Line of Scrimmage | QC Episode 208
April 08, 2020 12:48 - 13 minutes - 9.09 MBDefense is played Flat Down the Line. What does that even mean!? Football is a weird game. There’s tons of terminology, and none of it is universal. So to a coach just starting out, it can be a very confusing world. Today’s JDFB Quick Clinic tries to explain one of those terms. “Defense is played flat down the line” is a phrase one of our listeners is hearing, and he’d like a little clarity on what it means. So I’ll do my best. This was a response to a listener question sent by twitte...
Another Mailbag Episode | QC Episode 207
April 01, 2020 09:30 - 36 minutes - 24.4 MBIt’s another dive into the Twitter Mailbag! We’re talking about Scout Team and off-season coaching preparation. The Mailbag episodes have become a tradition. Not because they need to happen a lot. More because these are questions I never thought we could do a full episode on - then find out we could’ve done a full episode on half of them. Or more. We start off with a deep dive into why your scout team sucks. And the benefits of scout team wristbands. Then it’s on to how to prepare yo...
Defending Bunch Formations | QC Episode 206
March 26, 2020 09:30 - 20 minutes - 14.5 MBDefending Bunch Formations and other condensed looks can put a lot of stress on your defense. Here’s how to balance it out. Bunch formations are a great way to stress a defense by creating a condensed look for the defense. This week’s JDFB Quick Clinic question is about how you can shut ‘em down. We’re looking at a condensed bunch formation for this one, plus an adjustment to an unbalanced set. I’ll look at using both even and odd fronts. This was a response to a listener question sen...
Coaching Your Coaches | QC Episode 205
March 18, 2020 09:30 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MBYou finally got the big promotion. Your first coordinator gig. How do you prepare old coaches for the new changes? You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. That’s the saying. And if that’s true about the old dogs on your coaching staff, you might be in for a long season. This week’s Quick Clinic question comes from a coach who was just promoted to Defensive Coordinator. He has a very experienced coaching staff, way beyond his own years, but he’s still got to get them ready to coach the ne...
The Problem with Cover 2 | QC Episode 204
March 11, 2020 08:49 - 18 minutes - 13.1 MBCover 2 is a strong coverage in the right situations and with the right defensive front. With the wrong front, it’s broken. Great questions this week about the 4-2-5 Defense. It’s a two-part question too, so you’ll even get some bonus content. The first question is about running Cover 2 coverage and being forced to make adjustments on the weak side. There’s a reason it doesn’t work, and you’ll find that out in this episode. Then we’ll talk a little Option and Iso, and where that can fa...
Coaching a New Position | QC Episode 203
March 04, 2020 10:30 - 13 minutes - 5.61 MBYou’re an expert at coaching one position. Now you find yourself being asked to coach something completely different. Great question for this week’s JDFB Quick Clinic. What do you do when you’re asked to coach a position that you know very little about? It’s good for coaches to learn all facets of the game. If you want to be a coordinator or head coach one day, you should understand every position on the field. But how do you learn? How do you jump into that new position and do a great ...

February 26, 2020 10:30 - 16 minutes - 7.11 MBDiving back into the Mailbag Questions this week for topics including defending Wing-T and setting the defensive strength.

Email Fundraiser Basics | QC Episode 201
February 19, 2020 10:30 - 32 minutes - 19.6 MBFundraising is a critical part of running a football program. Here’s a plan for a long-term fundraiser using email. A few months back on a podcast with Ron McKie, we talked about some out-of-the-box ideas for fundraising in our episode on leveling up your football team’s off-season. One that I’ve been getting a lot of questions about was the email fundraiser. On this episode of the JDFB Quick Clinic, I’ll talk about the basics. The shell of the plan. It’s not the ‘holding your hand’ step...
Moving Up to the Varsity Staff | QC Episode 200
February 12, 2020 10:30 - 25 minutes - 16.2 MBYou put your time in. Now you’re moving up to the big show! Don’t worry, it’s not as hard as it seems. Great question on this week’s JDFB Quick Clinic, and one I hear a lot. You’ve put your time in at the Youth, Middle School, Freshman or JV levels… now you’re moving up. Moving up to the Varsity team. And there’s some nerves. Some concern about whether you are really ‘ready’ for it. Or at least, you don’t know what to expect. How different will it be with the big kids? Not that differ...
When Is It Time to Leave? | QC Episode 199
February 05, 2020 10:30 - 25 minutes - 15.9 MBYou know something is not right. This is not the job for you. How do you know the right time to look for a new team? Know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em. Kenny Rogers was right. Or The Gambler. Someone knew what they were talking about. Knowing when to walk away is tough. How do you know you’re on the wrong staff, or in the wrong situation? When is it time to start looking for your next job? And where do the players figure into all this? Tough question. I’ll try to answer it ...

If you think today’s Quick Clinic question is just about Quarterbacks, you couldn’t be more wrong. And it’s no different no matter what level you coach, or where you coach. This episode’s JDFB Quick Clinic question comes from a Quarterbacks Coach in England. He’s tried to get through to his QBs, but they just won’t throw the ball on time. They’re forever holding it and maki...
Coverage Checks | QC Episode 197
January 22, 2020 10:30 - 12 minutes - 7.55 MBUse coverage checks to get your defense in the best position to defend the route combinations. But don’t overcomplicate it. In our JDFB defensive coaching systems we use a number of basic coverage checks to get your secondary in the best position to defend potential route combinations. But we can’t be confused doing it - so it needs to stay simple. Today’s JDFB Quick Clinic question focuses on the 3 basic coverage checks that we use, particularly in man coverage, for defending route comb...

January 01, 2020 10:30 - 21 minutes - 13.5 MBYou’re shutting ‘em down on 1st and 2nd Down. Then it all falls apart on 3rd Down. What went wrong? Love this question for today’s JDFB Quick Clinic. If you’ve been running a defense for very long, this has happened to your team. You dominate on 1st and 2nd Down, but then you can’t get off the field. Seems like everything is clicking until you get the offense’s back against the wall. Then everything falls apart. Their players start making incredible plays and your guys seem to be complet...
Partners & Patterns Blitz Calls | QC Episode 193
December 24, 2019 09:33 - 18 minutes - 10.8 MBThere are a number of ways to get your blitz calls into your players. Using Partners & Patterns is… a way. I’ve done a lot of experimenting over the years, and one of those was the Partners & Patterns blitz calling. It’s an idea I got from Shap Boyd for our 4-3 Defense System several years back. I’ll explain how the Partners & Patterns system works. We don’t use it anymore since I didn’t feel it was as ‘simple’ as we needed. But you can evaluate the idea for yourself in this episode! ...
Defending 21 Personnel… or Single Wing? | QC Episode 192
December 18, 2019 10:30 - 19 minutes - 12.5 MBIs this a 21 Personnel Twins Formation, or a Single Wing Formation? Offensive Coordinators are bad people... It’s back to normal on this episode of the JDFB Quick Clinic, for a look at defending a 21 Personnel… or maybe an unbalanced Single Wing formation… with the 4-2-5 Defense. When you’re looking for ideas on how to shut down a weird offensive set, there’s no black and white answer. OK, there’s no black and white on defending anything. But these weird ones… yeah, the question is unbal...
The Lightning Round (Mailbag) | QC Episode 191

How can you get your players recruited? What’s that barcode inventory system you talked about? All the good stuff… and more. You can send in your questions for the JDFB Quick Clinic by messagin...
