CLINIC SUMMARY
In teaching our young players to play zone defense,
we felt that there were six basic principles which
every backer had to understand if he was to have
success playing the defense.
1. The first principle was that he had to know
and understand the location of the seven
underneath zones that he might be required to
drop into. We divided the underneath zones into
2 outside zones, 2 slot zones, 2 hook zones and
1 center zone.
2. It was vitally important that the linebacker
know and understand the proper physical
techniques he should use when he was dropping to
his designated zone area. [sprint -
crossover, backpedal and combination].
3. We felt it was necessary for each linebacker
to understand the correlation between the
quarterbacks drop and the type of pass pattern
which could be expected. [three, five,
seven, nine, sprint, roll, waggle and play
action].
4. We wanted each backer to understand the
proper method of reacting to the ball when it
was thrown by the quarterback to any portion of
the field. [to the right or left, in front,
behind and even with his location].
5. We wanted each backer to know and understand
how down and distance influenced the manner in
which an underneath passing game could be
attacked.
6. Each linebacker must know and understand when
his drop needs to be adjusted based on the
priority of achieving width or depth.
After we had established the beginning of the
learning process, we next wanted to introduce are
various types of zone defense that we would be
playing during the year and the drops the
linebackers would be using.
Here we would feature in our three deep package, a
4 under concept, a four under lock concept, a five
under concept and a three deep with a free
concept.
In our two deep package we would feature a 5 under
concept, and a six under concept with a lock
concept or a man under concept.
We would teach our backers a 4 under drop when we
featured our four deep straight or with a four deep
right or left package.
Once we had gotten our backers familiar with the
five basic principles, and the specific drop areas
they would need to go to for each defense called,
we then
introduced to them to the idea of adjusting their
individual drops based on pattern recognition.
These adjustments would be based on the pass
pattern run by a single back coming out to his
side, by the pass patterns of two backs releasing
to his side and by the coordinated pass patterns
run by one back and the tight end.
Finally we would focus our teaching on the proper
reaction by a linebacker to a screen to his side or
quarterback scramble to his side.
