Now, we are going to go to our base defense.
The defense that we call our base we want it 60 or 62. Great defense for youth football is basically an attacking; we use this as attacking defense. We teach our lineman or two inside guys, we call them V guard; we have a left and a right. They play with their middle of their body between their eyes right on inside shoulder of the guards; basically half in the gap, half on the man. The tackles play head up, the defensive ends we want them lined up, their inside shoulder on the outside shoulder of the offensive ends. That is the way they attack, they hit the outside shoulder of the end; penetrate through, not too far and play anything coming outside or off tackle.
If they see a pass, they attack the passer. The tackles are straight up. We do not want them to attack in so much, just dominate the man at the line of scrimmage and stop anyone tackle plays.
The V guards, we expect to explore through that gap between center and guard and going right after the football.
The line backer: We teach the line backers one step with the full back unless we have them in blitz. To step on the line of the full back is, when the full back takes his step, we are going to step towards where he is coming, that usually will bring us to the football.
The corners: If we have man out the corner will be on cover with them. If a corner has no cover; we tell them to stay at home and watch for reverses and counters unless we blitz them which is a call by a coach from the sideline.
The safety, he does one thing for us; pass coverage that is it. We do not even tell him, we do not want him moving anywhere unless the ball is absolutely passed the line of scrimmage.
