Limited time and Limited Budget Require Football Workouts Without Weights. Here’s How to Get It Done.

This week’s question comes from Germany on how to develop the strength and fitness of your young players, without access to a weight room. Or time to run a lifting program.

There’s a ton you can do for your players when they don’t have access to a weight room. Football workouts do not require a multi-million dollar facility like the big colleges have. Learn how to get a complete workout without having a single bumper plate… or even a weight bar.

Can your defense still blitz the formation? Have hybrid defenders made it a thing of the past?

Great question this week on blitzing the formation. Hybrid tight ends and h-backs have made it difficult to make your decisions based on personnel packages.

 We’ll look at automatic blitzes and how to prepare your blitz scheme based on the opponent’s plans. Should you blitz a formation? Can you still do it with the hurry up style so many teams use?

There’s a lot of talk about how to stop the Verts concept in Cover 3. What about the Verts Switch?

You’ve got a plan for handling 4 Verts in your Cover 3 coverage. At least, if you’re committed to running Cover 3 you’ll have one. But what’s the plan for handling other concepts and tags that get 4 deep routes against your 3 deep coverage?

Verts Switch is one way to make that happen. The basic concept is that the #2 receiver rubs off underneath the #1 receiver on both sides. They exchange who runs the hash and the numbers.

So how do you handle that in your Cover 3 coverage? That’s the focus on this week’s JDFB Quick Clinic!

Can your 4-2-5 Defense defend Wishbone Option Offenses? Even if you don’t see it, you better be able to!

Can your base defense the Wishbone Option? Maybe you’ve got a team who runs this offense on your schedule. Or someone who might show up in just about any offense.

Even if neither of those are true… your base defense better to be able to defend every style of option there is. And luckily, it can. As long as you’re running a sound defense.

In this episode we’ll break down how to defend the Wishbone Option with your 4-2-5 Defense. We look at the umbrella principle and how it applies here. To learn more check out http://425defense.com/podcast.
