High school defenses face very different offensive attacks week in and week out. The challenge is not changing your defense every week in order to defend pass-happy formations and smashmouth running attacks. The answer is to combine the strengths of a 4-man front with the PASS strengths of two safety coverages, that can be ran with the players walking the high school hallway. And due to low football IQ and limited film study time, the high school defense must be easy to learn. The strength of the 4-2-5 is the conversion of traditional OLBs to SAFETIES because you have 5 DBs to adjust to all the formation and motion changes in today's high school football. HEAD UP ALIGNMENTS: by a 0-tech NG and a 4-tech DT who slants weak, putts them in the same position as traditional 1 and 3-techniques once the ball is snapped. Blockers don't know which gap they are going to slant in, easy transition from 4 man to 3 man front, and uncovered guards give clean run/pass reads. DIVORCED FRONT and SPLIT FIELD: separates run & pass strengths allowing multiple looks while being simple to learn. Splitting formations in half reduces every offensive formation to 8 alignments. Split Field narrows teaching 4 coverages vs only 8 alignments and follows the "+1" rule. EVERY DAY DRILLS (EDDs): for every position. RUN FIT DEFENSE: forces the RB into a narrow "alley" outnumbered him 3 to 1. Everyone's job remains the same in both the 3-4 & 4-2 fronts. ILB read uncovered guards for clean reads and aggressive reactions. DL keeps the offensive lineman off the linebackers. Secondary provides the force, alley, and contain players.GAME PLANNING and SCOUTINGEDITABLE DROP BOX FILESEditable playsheets, wristbands, scouting reports, practice schedules drills, and Powerpoints.
