19 Position Skills for Defensive Line Play

with Brian George,
Indiana University Co-Defensive Coordinator / DL Coach

Coach George brings valuable Big 10 and MAC coaching experience to this defensive presentation. In 2005, Coach George mentored all-league defensive end Victor Adeyanju, who was a fourth round selection of the St. Louis Rams in the 2006 NFL Draft. In 2004, George and oversaw a Miami of Ohio defense that ranked among the top three in the Mid-American Conference in both rushing and scoring defense. His ability and knowledge of defending the spread is impressive. In this DVD he shares his plan for developing successful defensive line play and the steps to accomplish that plan. George's presentation is based on the 4-3 defense, playing both a 9 technique and a 5 technique. The Indiana line philosophy focuses on an attacking front getting the heels of the offensive lineman a yard into the backfield. George stresses seven keys to front four dominance. Players are taught the 19 principles for position skills. This list is concrete, detailed and measurable for the benefit of coaches and players. Each skill is discussed and fortified with game footage, drills or examples. Stance is extremely important for tackles and ends, as well as leading with the hands and not the helmet. Also discussed in technique identification for front alignment and attacking blocks on the line. Seven drills are displayed to conclude George's demonstration. This information-filled DVD will help improve players' skills and techniques, which will enhance your defensive line play.
