The Give - A Lauren’s First & Goal Podcast

Episode: Kevin May – Manipulating Protections to Create Pressure

In this episode of The Give, Kevin May, head coach at Seton Hill University, gives a preview of his LFG Clinic presentation which breaks down how his defense consistently generates pressure by manipulating pass protection rules.

Before stepping into the head coach role, May and his staff were annual supporters of the Lauren’s First & Goal Foundation clinic, studying sessions, implementing ideas, and shaping a defense that finished near the top of Division II in sacks and tackles for loss.

Now he gives back by sharing the system behind that production.

This conversation is not about calling more blitzes. It is about understanding how offenses protect and forcing them into predictable breakdowns.

What you'll Learn:

• How to identify big-on-big vs. slide protection pre-snap

• Why the “last man in the slide” is the key to breaking protection

• How to force offenses to become what they want to be

• Why built-in “if this, then that” rules matter in pressure design

• The difference between fast pressure and slow-developing schemes

• How to isolate the running back in protection

• Why understanding protection rules beats guessing on third down
