Defending the Option with the 4-4 Defense

with Bryan Collins,
C.W. Post Head Coach

Head Coach Bryan Collins reveals the secrets to his zone defense that has made C.W. Post one of the most dominating and consistent defenses in Division II over the past three seasons. In 2002, C.W. Post led the nation in rushing defense and total defense. In 2003 C.W Post continued to shut down their opponents earning top five rankings in total defense, rushing defense, and pass efficiency defense. In this video, Coach Collins describes how to defend multiple option looks including the pro-formation, 2-back set, and 3-back set. Using marker board diagrams and game highlights Coach Collins focuses on the responsibilities of the defensive ends, inside linebackers, outside linebackers, and cornerbacks. This is a great compliment to Coach Collin's Basics of the 4-4.
