Top Youth Football Defenses; Best Defenses vs Top Pee Wee Football Plays
The top youth football defenses video series is a comment on the 2012 article I wrote on the Best Offensive Plays in Youth Football. Over the next month or two I will be reviewing the top youth football plays from the article in a video series and then also reviewing the best defenses to stop those plays. I am hoping to do one play each week and the defense to stop it. I will be posting some summaries of the Defensive videos here.
#9 Defending the Crossbuck Counter
In this best youth football defense video, I review how to stop the #9 top youth football play from the article; the Split Wing 36 Crossbuck Counter. I chose the 62 Wide Tackle as a good base defense to stop this play with a few adjustments into a stack blitz, C gap blitz from the 62 Tight Tackle shift and two other defenses one could choose; the 63 Hybrid and 70 Defense. I also talk about the iLBs taking a jab read step for teams with heavy misdirection teams. Watch the video on defending the Crossbuck for more info.

#10 Defending the Pie 23 / 25 Power Lead Dive
One of my favorite and best youth football defenses is the 70 Defense. I chose the 70 defense to defend the #10 play in the best youth football play; the Power I 23 /24 Power Lead Dive play. I also highlight a few other defenses which one could use to defend this top youth football play like the 63 Hybrid, 65 Defense, and Gap 8 Defense. You can review some of these in this video on my 62 Formations in my 62 Multi 8 Youth football defense playbook.

We run the 6-2 for our 8u team. Our corners and OLB are aggressive and up field pretty quick, which leaves us vulnerable to the counter. What suggestions do you have for defending the WB counter from a double wing offense?
When we face a dw team, we teach our OLBs and CBs and iLBs to stay home and play there gaps. Read 2nd or 3rd step of back. I will also have our iLbs read the opposite wing. We tell the OLB to do the same and watch for the counter or reverse because these are the big plays from the DW
