How to confuse the QB and his receivers as they attempt to read the coverage before the snap

Where do you put your best athlete on the football team? Many coaches will say Quarterback or Running Back. Many other coaches will claim that they put their best athletes on defense.

I go along with the latter group, though I narrow it down to corner back or simply defensive back. The modern passing game puts so much pressure (physically and mentally) on the defensive backs that you have to put your best athletes in those positions or you could be buried.

You need a superior athletes - players with quickness, speed, toughness, and intelligence, as he will be constantly reading, adjusting, running, and tackling.

Since the Bolles School rarely has such athletes at the corners, we are forced to concentrate on getting help to them and the secondary in general.

Help can come from all areas of the defensive formation. In our case, it is a basic 34 front with three down linemen and four linebackers.

As you can see in Diag. 1, our outside weak linebacker is called WILL, our weak inside linebacker, MO; our strong outside linebacker, SAM; and our strong inside linebacker, MIKE.
