Coaching DBs and Outside LBs in Cover 2 & Cover 8 Defense within the 4-4 Defense
with Frank Chimienti,
C.W. Post Defensive Coordinator
* Develop a strong, flexible defensive unit
* Get the most from your defensive backs and linebackers in the 4-4 defense
* Learn all of the essential reads and techniques
Cover 8 is defined as an eight-man front with a 7, 3, 1 and 5
technique backed by four linebackers, two corners and a safety. The
beauty of the Cover 8 is you have eight to nine men in the box, which
covers all situations that may be presented. In this football DVD, Frank
Chimienti details all facets of defensive back and outside linebacker
play in the Cover 8.
He begins with corner play techniques.
Chimienti details pre-snap planning, including the offense's formation,
down and distance, field landmarks, communication, stance progression,
including the backpedal and transition, the speed turn technique, hip
flips, vertical turns, bail & catch and inside and outside release.
He also shows how to properly read receivers.
Next, Chimienti
discusses the play of outside linebackers. These players are the "force
players" defending the pitch. Linebackers "force" when the backfield
comes at you outside the box and "vice" everything else. Chimienti does
an excellent job of breaking down reads for outside linebackers.
The
free safety must also make reads and work with both corners. Chimienti
introduces the Cover 2 against 10 and 11 personnel. The look is more of a
spread mentality coverage. He discusses alignments, reads and coverages
against the run and the pass. Within Cover 2 are alternative coverages
such as Cover 2 Man, Patriot, Sing and Bang. This coverage supports the
blitz, offers solid run support and gives many looks from a sound
package. Excellent use of game tape allows these defensive techniques to
come alive.
All of the reads, alignments and position specifics
are addressed in the game tape. Use these techniques, coaching tips,
alignments and reads to develop a flexible, strong defensive unit.
