Greg Schiano: Defensive Fundamentals

Rutgers Coach Greg Schiano gives a presentation on defensive fundamentals that covers several key concepts including tackling and practice circuits. He opens his lecture with an explanation of the three-point philosophy he uses at Rutgers-stop the run, limit big plays, and create takeaways-and then moves on to his methods for enforcing these concepts (smart swarm, tackling, and ball disruption). Each concept is further highlighted with the drills Coach Schiano uses plus game footage that pulls everything together. He also shares drills for ball disruption (sack/fumble, second-man strip, chase strip, mirror throwing hand), showing the circuit used to set up each strategy on the field.
