The performance of your Overhang Safeties in your defense is critical to your success. No matter what front you're running, here's how to coach your force defenders. It's one of the most requested topics that I get for The Football Coaching Podcast. Two years ago, we broke down coaching the overhang safeties in Episode 209. Time to do it again… Start off with understanding the critical Umbrella Principle. It's how your players understand run fits and how they fit into your defense. Then we'll step through the Alignment, Stance, Keys and Assignments for your Overhang Safeties and Outside Linebackers. And top it off with the drill package for refining those skills.

It's a slight technique change for blocking run plays. But it worked. Here's the How and Why on the shift to shoulder blocking. A few years ago, I came to the realization that something had to change in the way we teach blocking run plays on our Offensive Line. We needed to take out the weak link. Those adjustments had huge benefits. We've got to a shoulder blocking style - but not exactly like old Wing-T Offense or Veer Option blocking you might have seen. This isn't revolutionary. But a lot of coaches have asked about the adjustment to our run play blocking. So here it is!

It's the foundation of one of the most successful offenses in the history of football - the Wing-T Buck Series. Here's how to do it. The Wing-T Offense has always been a fascination for me, and the Buck Series is by far the most used series in that offense. But I needed to bring in an expert for us to break it down. On this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, Coach Rick Stewart joins me to talk Wing-T Buck Series. We'll go over the finer points of blocking the Buck Sweep, Buck Trap and the Waggle. It's a great show!

You've got a great playbook. How are you going to get it all installed in time for Week 1?

Today's episode of The Football Coaching Podcast is exactly what you need. I'll share a plan for a 5 Day Install on Offense and Defense. We've done this install schedule with a team where everyone plays both ways, and practices are only 90 minutes long. You can get it done.

Georgia Military College popularized the 3-5-3 Defense for the High School level 15 years ago. What's changed? 15 years ago, Georgia Military College came out with a comprehensive video series on the 3-5-3 Defense. It was all the rage back in 2005, with tons of coaches buying them up. I was one of those coaches. We installed the defense in 2006 and I took over as Defensive Coordinator in 2007. By 2008, we had moved on. This time it was the Miami 4-3 Defense. That changed my coaching life forever. With a little more knowledge and wisdom, it's time to go back and look at the original concepts and videos on the 3-5-3 Defense. What's changed? And why didn't we stick with it? Find out what you need to look for when you switch to the 33 Stack Defense in 2019 (and it IS the same - GMC said so!) when you listen to this week's episode of The Football Coaching Podcast!
