  2. Chuck NollHead Coach Pittsburg Steelers1969 - 1991 If you want to win, do the ordinary things better than anyone else does – day in and day out. We’re not going to fool people or outscheme them. We’re just going to out play them. Because we’ll know what we’re doing. When we get into a critical situation, we won’t have to think. We’ll play fast and fundamentally sound.

  3. Team Defense • Desire – Relentless pursuit • Team Defense • Know your role, understand your fits • Control what you can control • Defensive Standards: • 1. Intelligent • 2. Hostile • 3. Tough • 4. Relentless • Pack Mentality – Takeaways • Spill Everything – Great Angles (Inside out)

  4. 4-2-5 • Started as an answer to two TE formations • Allowed us to be balanced • Allows us to be multiple • Even Front • Under Front • Odd Front • Allows us to get 9 players involved in the run game • Our #1 Goal is to stop the Run • Allowed up to keeps thing simple

  5. 4-2-5 • STOP THE RUN • We always work to get both Inside Linebackers on the playside • B Gap and a Free Hitter • Run to daylight • We always want to force the pass deep and outside • Corners play with inside leverage

  6. Principles of Pursuit • Accountability • We will be accountable to each other. All members of the defensive team will develop tremendous pride in the great effort that they give on every play. • Respect • Intense effort will bring about a sense of respect and accomplishment from within. This will create a bond between you and your teammates that is built on mutual respect, and these feelings will permeate through our defensive unit. • Aggressive attitude • There is no question that intense effort leads to an aggressive style of play. We will take tremendous pride in swarming to the football. This will have an intimidating effect on the ball carrier. Nothing is more demoralizing to a ball carrier than having to un-pile from under five defenders after every play, with the other six defenders forming a wall around him. • Confidence • The blend of accountability, respect, and aggressive play will lead to a strong synergy within our defense. The combination of these qualities will lead to success and with success comes confidence.

  10. Communication • There is no huddle • Everyone looks for the signals • Mike can echo the call to the front • We have moved away from this practice • Dog will give the Down and Distance • Stud will make a “RODGER” or “LUCKY” call • The strength is determined by the TE • If there is no TE, then to the side with the most recievers • If it is balanced, usually a “LUCKY” call • Strength may be based on the back • There is no separate passing-strength call
