Defensive User Mastery
Welcome, and congratulations on unlocking our "Defensive User Mastery" guide! Our User is the single most important player on the field at any given time. He is capable of changing a bad defense into a GREAT defense. This course is gonna break down exactly how you can do that.
Quick Tips (update soon)
Tools We Can Use
- Blocking at least our HB or TE if the Line of Scrimmage is crowded
- Block HB AND TE vs Heavy Blitzes
- Motion Blocking can be really good to help vs some blitzes
What To Know
- WR Drags, and HB Ins/Outs are great Hot Routes that can be added to numerous plays to help beat Man Coverage
- Deep Posts as shown in the video can be smart routes to beat Man quicker/better
Introduction
Keys
- Where is the weakness in your Defense?
- Where is the Offense trying to attack?
- Our user is our most important and versatile player on the field
- Make something look open... then take it away!
How To User Like A Pro
Keys
- Our User should be a coverage defender who's tall, high speed, high cod, and just a DAWG of an athlete
- User Blitz or Non Blitz Assignment depends on your Defensive Scheme
- You can Slow Play, don't hold "Turbo" until you commit to a direction
- Don't be afraid to User Corner Routes, or Deeper Routes down field. Take away what the Offense wants to throw!
Set Up
- Utilize your Core Plays, just block an extra player from there
- Every play we must be Usering something... we can't be in no-man's-land
- Don't user in an area that already has a Defender (Have a hard flat on the field? You don't need to user there!)
