Teaching Aggressive Man Defense to Your Secondary

with Robert Tucker,
University of Colorado Director of Football operations;
former Boise State University Secondary Coach

In this video, Coach Tucker shows you the teaching progression that has helped make the Boise State secondary one of the best in the nation. Using on-the-field demonstration and game footage, Tucker goes through the progression for teaching press man and off man coverages, emphasizing stance, footwork, jamming receivers, backpedaling, turning and finishing the play. These coverages are shown against several types of routes, assuring that your players will be prepared for any move that a receiver may give them. Tucker also shows additional coverage techniques such as outside press, trail techniques and combination coverages to help your defense combat motion and multiple receiver sets. Finally, Tucker shows how to apply these techniques for different coverage schemes, allowing your secondary to force more turnovers and create greater scoring opportunities for your team!
