We Cant Stop Dual-Threat QBs

Tackling may be the bane of every DC’s existence, especially when trying to turn a program around. It’s also the part of football that has evolved the most… outside of Travis Kelce type of TEs, and the weird side-arm throwing motion used around the country now. Tackling doesn’t have to be a thorn in your paw, you have to simplify your system so it can happen more naturally and in pairs.

On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the easiest ways to fix mistakes in tackling, through Umbrella Run Fits, how to do it without running the “Oklahoma Drill” every week, and motivating your players to ATTACK.

Fix Mistakes with the Umbrella Run Fits

  • Eliminates 1-on-1 tackling situations
  • Ensures you're gap sound, regardless of the formation
  • Gives everyone a job… ONE JOB, and gives you simple coaching points to have all run plays covered

Eliminate Missed Tackles without Beating Up Our Players

  • Eliminate your “Oklahoma Drill” style tackling by simplifying run fits
  • With the Umbrella Drill, you can bring in a lot of positions… even “inside run” type drills, and keep contact light

Teach Your Players to Fly to the Point of Attack

  • Ricky Coon’s 9-5-9
  • Film everything and tag loafs/lack of effort
  • It goes back to Umbrella Run fits simplicity and having ONE JOB.
