    Great way to train the eyes and rep transition breaks at the top of the route... #DBU

    DB Drills: Good example here of working a complex drill without having to cover much ground and use much space. 4 BREAKS 1) Allows a rep at the 4 most common downhill angles. 2) Low Energy Drill - Saves Legs 3) Works pace of the break and reaction. #DefenseWinsChampionships

    The Best Defensive Players I’ve ever been around shared 3 Traits: 1) ALWAYS ran to the football - Fanatical Effort 2) LOVED contact - finished through the point of contact - not to it. 3) CONSISTENTLY brought energy and enthusiasm to practice, meetings, game, etc... PASSION.

    DB DRILLS: Top Of The Route (TOTR) Great drill to work deeper routes and transitions without running guys all over the field. Emphasis on low eyes, controlled pedal, and breaking off of your WR keys. #DefenseWinsChampionships #DBsOnSix

    The “chutes” are used to emphasize good pad level during our transition breaks. Keeping your pads low allows you to change direction and burst faster out of your break. #DBU

    SAFETIES: Speed doesn’t have to be the point of every drill - PERFECT YOUR TECHNIQUE. The “Plant - Point - Drive” of your break can be repped in stages. Good Reps Build Good Habits. Build - Grow - Progress with a great foundation. #DBWork #DBU

    LB DRILLS: Angle Drop Angle Tackle Great for teaching your backers to react back to draw or QB scramble. Controlled drill with cones for angles and a coach giving the ball carrier a direction. #DefenseWinsChampionships #RunAndHit

    I thought this page was genius. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said “Top of the #’s” and kids line up on the bottom. Define your buzzwords - Create a common language. #DefenseWinsChampionships

    Pedal Break - Low Pad Transitions Emphasis placed on pad level during change of direction - easily done with Chutes. Forces players to remain in an athletic position to eliminate wasted movement. Great for work at the top of the route without gassing their legs. #DB
