You’ve got your base defense all planned out. And it’s perfect for defending those formations you see all the time. Spread formations. Wing-T Offense. Those downhill Pro-I teams.
Then the week comes where you’ve got to adjust to defend 22 personnel. A heavy running attack. Does your defensive front have the principles in place to easily adjust without confusing your players? This week’s JDFB Quick Clinic gives you the details you need to be ready.

There’s been a significant increase in interest in the odd front defenses of late. And one of the keys to running an odd front is your defensive line slants.
We’re looking at how to coach up an aggressive slant technique that your defensive linemen can use to spill the football in your umbrella defense. This question was sent by a 3-4 Defense coach, but the same defensive line slant technique applies across the board in any defense where you’re using slants.

The Quick Clinic isn’t the place for a whole lot of football coaching news. But this was newsworthy! Thanks to Scott for sending in a great topic that was out of my normal scope. I enjoyed looking at it.
The new Pop Warner 2-Point Stance rule doesn’t allow linemen to get into a 3-point stance, and it’s met with a lot of backlash. I’ll talk about why I think this is a bad rule - and also, one that really won’t affect the future of the sport (at least, in a vacuum).
