The Football Coaching Podcast with Joe Daniel

No matter how good you are, every coach is going to lose some games. But there is a silver lining to every cloud! Every coach wants to win. And there are times when your job will depend on it. But every loss can't be a soul crushing defeat that sends you into the doldrums for a week. In this episode, we're going to break down losing into 3 categories of losses. Then we'll look at how you can best deal with each type of loss. You'll find out how to get the most out of each loss, so that your team moves forward instead of bogging down and falling behind.

Give the same look to the Quarterback every snap using Roll Cover 3 coverage. Here's how to do it. The simplest way to disguise your coverage is to give the same look on every snap. One way to accomplish that is to align your safeties and corners across the field in a straight line - then adjust before (or after) the snap. On this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, I'll go in detail on installing a Roll Cover 3 system into your defense. This is based off of our 4-3 Defense System packages, but can be incorporated to any defensive package with a few adjustments.
