Stimulus/Response Coach Golla

Coach,
Whatever defense you run should have an answer for what the offense is trying to do. What we have done is put the answer to a vocabulary. For example for our linebackers if they see a down block with flow to them they fill (Down = Fill). If they see pull they follow (Pull - Follow). Look at what you do then apply a quick answer. If you do not read guard then what do you versus direct flow to you. We would call that Iso flow (Iso - collision) etc.... For our db's we have done the same thing. For example quarters coverage, if our corners and safty's man breaks under 7 yards they switch to look for another receiver ( Under = switch ). If the receiver goes past 5 to 13 yards we are being pushed so (Push = Slide). (Over = Top) Etc.... If you are a cover 3 team apply what you want your kids to do....
Hope this makes since.
