Coach Johnson has a wealth of football knowledge and experience that he uses in this DVD to teach various defensive line techniques and blitz coverages. He has been coaching football for 28 years and in 2003 he coached the ABC-Chevrolet National Defensive Player of the Year. Coach Johnson covers the fundamentals of defensive line play in this presentation and everything he teaches centers around MAP (mental, attitude, and physical). He will highlight the differences in play in seven and eight man fronts and use game footage to show the proper way to deal with pulling linemen, base blocking, pass blocking, screens, draws, one gap and two gap coverages. Coach Johnson will also cover in detail five effective moves to teach defensive linemen to escape blocks. He teaches the guidelines to developing defensive linemen by teaching responsibilities, stance, pre-snap reads, vision, attack, using the hands and feet, escapes, lanes, and rush and react. The final section of the presentation uses actual practice footage to highlight the following drills: Shoot, change of direction, reach, wrong way, step punch, footwork reverse, counter, and power move which will develop your defensive linemen into ferocious pass rushers and stout run stoppers.
