I just read an email on blitzing. I like to blitz, especially if I am the underdog and the other team has a ton of talent. Blitzing will allow you to even the playing field. But, if you live by the sword you can die by the sword. If your offensive opponent guesses right while your running a blitz, its probably a TD. In my last inter-league scrimmage against a higher division team, I blitzed 80% of the time and shut down their offense. I was very pleased with our Defense. Our first game is this Saturday, so I am hoping we shut them down too.
6-2 Wide Blitzes - Cobra & Maniac
The two linebacker blitzes I run most are Cobra and Maniac blitzes. I just put in Cobra this year and am having great success in our inter-league scrimmages. I had an issue last year at the C gap and Cobra addresses that issue. not only does it attack the C gap but it basically shuts down the Cobra side of the offense. Its pretty amazing. I also run a Maniac blitz or Middle blitz with my Mike Linebacker or Strong LB. This works well if their Center is skittish. I also run a Maniac Too, where I send both LBs up the middle.
Welcome to my first video on my 62 Multi 8 Youth Football Defense. One of the best youth football Defenses for the Win. I’ve been developing this defense since 2008 or so. This Spring 2016 this defense has had 8 straight shut outs with an 11U team. I am very proud of this team and…
My 4th grade pee wee football team ran variations of the 6-2 defense last season. To be honest, we should have stuck to our 7 Man Front Eagle Defense variation. But, my new defensive coordinator wanted to try the 6-2, and he had not heard of the Eagle 7, so we gave the 6-2 defense a shot. In…

When the tackle wheels / tackle rings came out I knew I had to have one. But they were about double / triple what I wanted to pay for one, especially since I am just a youth football coach. My wife is already on me for buying just about everything else, although equipment under $100…
In 2006, an opposing team stripped the football from one of my backs and ran for a touchdown. Our running back that had the ball stripped, became the leading football stripper on our youth football team. Stripping the football is a powerful defensive tactic, especially in youth tackle football, because most youth running backs do…
After being focused on offense the last two seasons and reading Football Principals and Play by David Nelson, I assigned myself the Defensive Coordinator role this season, so I would focus my efforts on Defense for my tackle pee wee football team. Coach Nelson is right, if your opponent doesn’t score, you can’t lose. And…
