Bryan Collins is committed to the 8 man front, "G" defense. A big part of this defense's success is the play of inside linebackers. In this football video, Collins breaks down technique and coaching emphasis for developing solid inside linebackers. He begins by highlighting the proper stance. Collins teaches proper stance and pre-snap reads to put his linebackers in position to make plays. A key concept for reads that Collins teaches is to "fill open windows" and "scrape closed doors" in a fast flow. The scrape is a linebacker technique that requires hands on the guard and use of the press technique. He discusses other reads such as the full flow read and the rock flow. Teach your linebackers to play with their eyes, feet and hands. Use Collin's technique drills including the force, scrape and press technique. Learn drills to demonstrate backfield flow and gaps, leverage and play against receiver routes. From the marker board to the drill footage, Collins examines the play of inside linebackers within his defensive scheme. Improved linebacker play will help your defense and make it difficult for opponents to score on you.

Inside Linebacker Technique & Reads for the 4-4 Defense

Very well organized and some really good drills that I will implement with my ILB's. I took a point away because it is a little complicated system for youth football that I coach. If you coach youth football I would recommend the James Madison University video on the basics of the 44. I have run that defense for 3 years and have had the number one defense in my league all 3 years.
