In this DVD, Coach Slade echoes his primary goal as a defensive backs coach - to stop the big play. When devising drills it is important for your players to see that you are practicing that which happens in the game. All defensive backs must have a good stance with a good body lean. Back peddling is also a key skill for all DB's. Slade emphasizes the ability to recover and that arms must be kept close the body. To be explosive coming out of the break depends on how violent the foot hits the ground. The Cone and "M' drills work on developing that explosiveness, and teaches players to "get as many spikes in the ground" as possible. The "Back Peddle and turn" skill is properly taught by using a pivot before running. Slade calls it "Back Peddle, Turn and Burst." Also drilled with the back peddle are the recover and turn across. To defend the post route, players learn proper technique with the back peddle, burst to the post, burst to the corner. Slade responds to questions and shares two drills, the Phase drill and the Out drill, that are a part of his teaching methods. Video footage of 10 practice drills augments Slade's teaching points. By incorporating some of the strategies and drills in this DVD, coaches can strengthen their attack against the run and the pass.

Coach Slade's 2000 and 2001 secondary units established school season records with 64 and 72 passes broken up, respectively. The Vols have batted down no fewer than 61 passes in the three years since. In this DVD, Slade discusses basic defensive football using the Cover 8. In this scheme, the safeties are independent and are responsible for calling coverages. A key focus is to stop the run first. Slade makes use of diagrams to illustrate the Cover 8, called "Adjust." The corners are 8 yards off the line of scrimmage and have the option to bump and run. Coverages by the safeties are Shoot/Read, Cloud/Read, Cloud/Cleo and Cleo/Shoot. Trips, Double and Split are different looks that match up with the alignment of the offense. Game footage shows different coverages such as shoot call, read call, 2 check and Cloud call. This DVD provides various looks and coverages out of the Cover 8.

2006.
