  1. Defending Commonly Seen Pass Plays in the 4-2-5 Defense By: Coach Jimmy Sims Head Football Coach at Los Angeles Valley College Football simsja@lavc.edu

  2. The Frank Glazer Clinic • Special Thanks Frank Glazer Clinic • Biography and Coaching Experience • Education • 18 years High School & College Coaching • leaned about myself as a coach in high school • slow down, teach, communicate, be humble • “You must be humiliated, before you can be humble”

  3. Introduction • I am not here to convince you play our defensive coverages, but more importantly to share information that we believe works for our athletes. • Hopefully, our information can assist you as a coach and / or your players. • I believe that coaches must understand the players the personnel you have, then use your philosophy to fit the mold of our players. • "It's not always the X's and the O's,it's the Billy's and the Joe's... It's a true statement!

  4. Introduction • I’ve been associated with some great coaches. • I have had the chance to coach with them on the sidelines • I've had the opportunity to pick their brains at clinics or during the recruiting process.

  5. Defensive Staff at Los Angeles Valley College • Preparing for each opponent each week. • Our secondary philosophy is to teach our base defense that our athletes can master in a two year period. • “Do the little things, first” • establish a solid foundation in our base coverages and our blitz schemes • builds confidence in the players • by keeping it simple the secondary can grab a large number of repetitions with each practice • repetitions create confidence for the athletes • allows them to perform at a high level in games without hesitations. • discipline plays a key role in the secondary • without it, the season will be very long.

  6. L.A. Valley College Secondary Philosophy • Our Philosophy • Teach secondary fundamentals; alignment and assignment • Must be able to make a tackle • Stop the run • Control the passing game • The use of deception in disguising the coverage • Personnel and evaluation of players • Recruit speed, quickness, football intelligence, mental and physical toughness • Prevent the “big play” and easy touchdown

  7. Our Secondary Philosophy • Read and React • “Forget about the last play” (deep touchdowns) • Protect Your Territory - each player is asked to be responsible for their territory • The tendency to help your teammate protect his areas • Do your primary job first; then help & pursuit once the your initial territory has been secured.

  8. The Keys To Teaching Quarters Coverage • The coach must be able to teach the principles of “alignment” and “assignment” to his players • Find players that will execute properly • Players must believe in the defense • Basic overall understanding of offensive formations; 21P, 20P, 12P, 11P 10P, GL

  9. The Keys To Teaching Quarters Coverage • Know the Weaknesses - coaches must know the weaknesses of of the defense • Repetitions of Fundamentals – fundamental techniques will differ from one coverage to another • do you have a secondary coach that “understands” technique & can “teach” technique to the players?

  10. Advantages of Quarters Coverage • Nine man front • Compliments the play action pass • Assist the defense with four vertical receivers • The transition from the base defense to zone blitzing is simple • Good Run Support: Primary Force and Alley Fill

  11. Advantages of Quarters Coverage • Juco ‘s often have players reporting late • We need a defense that is easy to learn in a short period of time. • The DEFENSE “CONTINUES” • Coaches can use many different schemes that all look the same to the opposing quarterback: • Disguises: C4 to C2, C4 to C3 (traditional S/S or Cloud), C4 to Man

  12. Alignment • FC = Field Corner • The alignment of the Field Corner is 7 yards back by 1 yard inside the #1 receiver. • He is the CB to the wide side of the field. • When in the middle of the field the coach can designated the left or right side based on the opponent. • He is usually a better zone player and run support that the boundary corner back. • BC = Boundary Corner • 7 yards back by 1 yard inside the #1 receiver. • He is the CB that is aligned to the boundary side of the field. • He is the defender on your team that can play man to man coverage to the single receiver side; 10 personnel trips (1 RB / 0 TE); 11 personnel strong trips (1 RB / 1TE). • This allows the defense to zone the wide side of the field and man the back side when needed.

  14. Alignment • F/S = Free Safety • 10 yards deep by 2 yards outside the end man on the line of scrimmage. • If a a slot receiver is present and ball on the hash, safeties will align no more than 4 yards outside the end man on the line of scrimmage. • He can adjust to his quarter of the field, but never outside his responsible quarter (fast receiver in 10P trips) • If ball is in the middle of the field, alignment is a 10x2 • R = Rover • 10 yards deep by 2 yards outside the end man on the line of scrimmage. • If a a slot receiver is present and ball on the hash, safeties will align no more than 4 yards outside the end man on the line of scrimmage. • He can adjust to his quarter of the field, but never outside his responsible quarter (fast receiver in 10P trips) • If ball is in the middle of the field, alignment is a 10x2

  21. C. AssignmentRun Support Keys and Reads • Safeties - “Don’t Go Until You Know” • Safeties - Flat-Footed Read; Wait technique • Safeties – Read and Key end man on the LOS • Safeties - If it’s run; primary force on back field “speed flow” to the perimeter • Safeties – If it’s run; stack flow • Safeties – if it’s run; tight flow • Safeties - cutback on all back field flow away

  22. Run Support Keys and Reads • Cornerbacks – key and reads QB triangle • Cornerbacks have secondary run support on back field speed flow • Cornerbacks have angle of pursuit on backfield flow away once ball is pass the LOS • On WR crack on safety, CB must be primary force; CB must see contact on safety (very hard to teach)

  25. PASS DEFENSE • Practice Techniques and they will become second nature • Fundamentals; we always concentrate on EDD’s ( every day drills) • I. Stance • II. Backpedal • III. Break on the ball • IV. Zone Turns with hips, leg drive, and acceleration • V. Man to Man hip movements and hand placement (opponents hands or hips and high thighs • VI. Intercepting Balls • VII. Tackling • VIII. Alignment • IX. Assignment

  26. AssignmentPass Keys and Reads Technique for CB’s - shuffle, shuffle , bail • CB’s: Routes 10 yards or more is your man • off man from seven yards • Three step read key from quarterback • If three steps is no longer a threat; work hard into a speed backpedal with eyes on #1 receiver • 18 yards or more the CB will take his man on an intermediate route or to a deep route

  27. AssignmentPass Keys and Reads • Technique for Safeties • “Don’t go until you know” • Flat – footed read; wait technique • If no vertical threat by the #2 receiver, get inside and underneath the #1 receiver • 4 important keys by the #2 receiver • a.) block; primary run support to cutback • b.) vertical release; 10 yards or more man to man • c.) inside release; look to double #1 receiver inside out • d.) outside release; look to double #1 receiver inside out

  42. “Success is when preparation meet opportunity” • Prepare your players so that they understand the coaches’ thinking process vs the opponent • Organize practice plans that create game like situations throughout the week. This will assist your players to be successful with any coverage you decide is best.
