Best 46 Defense Clinic I Have Ever Seen Part 1 

"Plays dont beat man... Players do "....love that , putting that in the playbook as a quote

The 46 defense is more of a philosophy than an alignment. More defenses need to attack what the offense is trying to do instead of just reacting to it. "Teams spread you out in 2X2 so they can run the ball." Good stuff. Can't wait for Part 2.

Great teachings Coach!

Great breakdown

Amazing break down coach 👏🏾

I'm not nor have ever been a coach or player, just a football fan who wants to appreciate the X's and O's on the field. The problem I have with almost all football strategy videos is that they're extremely simplistic ("This is called a linebacker. Can you say line back er?") or are meant for coaches with all sorts of experience jumping headfirst into all types of jargon. I think these videos hit the sweet spot. I don't understand everything he's saying but that's okay. I think I'm learning enough to at least be an educated fan. Nicely done.

Well done.

Great video

I essentially run the Jayhawk adjustment at the Pop Warner level. I tell everyone it is a 5-2 Okie to make it easier to teach but it really is the Jayhawk adjustment. When you start adding the blitzes it gets really fun to call. I stick with either cover 1 or cover zero depending upon the blitzes.

I heard Homer Smith (longtime college OC) speak on the 46 in about 1986. He said the first play he would run would be veer option weak. He drew it up. Indeed, the 46 is a man short v that play. (And I ran the weakside option v the 46 for years and it was a very good play for us.) Smith then said, "of course, on second down you need a new QB because that is Richard Dent." Coach Bateman is 100% correct that you get in the 46 to bring pressure.

It was the talent that made this defense. The bears had 3 hall of fame lineman and a couple of them needed double teams. They also had 2 very good safeties.

Great job explaining this coach. So you guys base out of this? How have you guys fared vs. Wing T or unbalanced single wing offenses? Thanks!

I’m almost certain that that’s Bobby Mercer!

I have always been a strong believer in leverage and contain over spill defenses.

What’s the difference between this and Jerry Glandvilles “Gritz Blitz” in the 70”s

Watching this for the 3rd time. Wanting to know now how does he play vs. option/split back veer & Wingt Teams?

would love to see him talk about motion in a 2x2 set, running cover 1. does the motion receiver get passed or does the man cover attempt to follow across the field?

i run a 22/32 side front special, adjust flex, mountain back 1

Is there a part 2, if so how can I watch it

question for you coach when if ever does the buck linebacker pick up a man in coverage?

Troy Palamaula would have excelled under Buddy Ryan 4-6 Defense as well

Balanced offenses give the 46 trouble; Balanced offenses make the 46 into the Eagle.

I need someone to explain the playclock and playclock. Thank s

How did Rex Ryan utilized Revis in this ?

If Mark Wahlberg and Danny McBride had a love child and then sent him to the Ryan Family Football academy...

46 defense worked when offenses were more standard in their formations 2 receivers 1 tight end 1 back 1 full back. It doesn't work against spread offenses.
