We Cant Stop Dual-Threat QBs

As Spring Ball gets closer, 7-on-7 is looming, and season seems just around the corner, you’re probably looking through your defensive install plan, scratching your head, wondering how to get it all in the most efficient way this season.

In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain talk through the best defensive install plan for the 425 defense, and likely any defense, for this upcoming season. They talk planning what you need to install, how to get it all installed in 5 days, and how to ensure you have enough ready for week 1.

Planning What to Install

  • Backwards planning is a must
  • Separate the positions by task
  • Install a front, base coverage, and alignment on day 

Install Your Defense in 5 Days

  • Each day has a specific install, to give each group a few new things that build on previous lessons
  • Kids will be swimming, but we don’t want them to drown

Have Enough Ready for Week 1

  • You don't need your entire season in the first week
  • What do you need to take away from the opponent?
