Ball Disruption is defined as an attempt by the defense to adversely affect the
normal flow of the offense by applying pressure to the football on every play. It
is unrealistic to expect turnovers on every play, but our goal is to create µball
disruption¶ every time the ball snaps. If we do that, the turnovers will come in
bunches. Components of disruption are as followed. These plays will be
referred to as M.A.D. plays- Make A Difference plays. They will be logged and
shared within the group. There are no secrets; those that make these plays are
THE PLAYMAKERS.
A. Scoring on defense
B. Interceptions
C. Caused fumbles
D. Fumble recoveries
E. Pass break-ups
F. Sacks
G. Quarterback hits
H. Caused interceptions
I. Eligible receiver knockdowns
J. Forcing eligible receiver out of bounds
K. Third down stop tackles
L. Fourth down stop tackles
M. Tackles that keep the runner in bounds vs. hurry up offense
N. Tackles for loss yardage
O. Caused sacks (coach¶s judgment)
|
/ +is essence of ball disruption. If we are aware of where the football
is and the manner in which it is being carried, we will understand the
opportunities for ball disruption. We want our tacklers to see more than the bll
carrier. We want to see the football. If we become more aware of the football
we can apply the following axioms for ball disruption:
A. The QB is the most vulnerable ball carrier when he is in the pocket or when he
is running with the football. The opportunity to cause the QB to fumble are
greater than they are with any other offensive player.
B. The ball carrier is vulnerable to losing the football when:
1. He carries the ball away from his body
2. He is being gang tackled
3. He is switching the ball from what hand to another
4. He carries the ball with his inside arm while near the sideline
5. He does not see the tackler coming
6. He takes a direct hit on the football
C. Anytime our opponent practices poor ball security we must have enough ball
awareness to see this for what it is; an opportunity to gain possession of the
football.
| ||
1. If the ball is being carried in a secure manner, we want to put our hat through
the ball and wrap with both hands.
2. If the ball is being carried in a loose, away from the body manner, we want the
tackler to hat up the ball carrier and punch the football with the wrap-up hand to
the side of the ball.
3. If the ball carrier is running near the sideline and the ball is in the inside hand,
want the hat to go through the ball.
4. If tackling a ball carrier from behind, we want to insure the tackle by grabbing
the shoulder pads at the back of the neck while either clubbing down on the ball
if it is being held loosely, or punching the ball out by reaching between the
elbow and the body of the runner.
5. When we are involved in the pass rush we have a great opportunity to club the
ball away from the QB by reaching our outside arm. Understand, the ball will
either be in the QB¶s chest before he starts his delivery or near his throwing
shoulder as he starts his throwing motion.
6. When the ball carrier has been hit, by appearance controlled by the tackler, we
want the next man involved to tackle the ball and take it away.
7. There are instances when a defender who is engaged by a blocker has no
recourse but to lunge and arm tackle the ball carrier. When faced with this
situation, grab for the ball if it is in the near arm of the ball carrier.
8. Practical application: We will work very hard to teach ball stripping techniques.
In order to develop these techniques, we will adhere to the following practical
format:
A. We want to develop ball awareness as we practice against our offense
B. We will exhibit ball awareness by using the techniques mentioned above
on a daily basis.
C. These techniques will be applied in 9 on 7, 7 on 7, group, or team periods
with no regards to which side of the ball is emphasized.
D. Even during no contact practice one can exhibit ball awareness by simply
tapping the ball as you tag off the ball carrier.

There are 5 phases to every football play, each is of vital importance to the next.
You cannot have a successful play unless you execute each phase properly.
1. Call: Get and understand each phase of the call and understand what it
means to you.
2. Recognition of Formation: We must recognize each offensive formation

and communicate it to each other. We must know it¶s strength,
weaknesses, and tendencies and how each of these affect the call.
3. Alignment: We must take the exact alignment required by the call and
dictated by the offensive formation. Always align in the best position for
you to execute your responsibility. 80% of all errors come as a result of
poor alignment.
4. Key: Your key is a tool to give you every advantage over what the offense
can do to you. It will never lie.
5. Execution: If we have taken care of the previous 4 phases, then execution

becomes the key to playing great defense. We are going to execute with
intelligence, desire, and enthusiasm.
There are a handful of plays (4 or 5) that will determine the outcome of

the game. We need to make the majority of these plays to WIN. Many of
these plays occur in the 4th quarter. We must be dominant in the 4th
quarter to be a great defensive team.
.|
|
As a Defensive Unit, we must at all times know the down and distance
situation. Our opponents will, in most instances, classify themselves
according to down and distance as to the formations they will use, and the
type of play (pass) or (run-inside or outside) we should be expecting.
With this in mind, you should memorize the following down and distance
chart to better help you understand how we try to set our Defenses up and
prepare yourself for the situations that will present themselves.
1st & 10
2nd & 1-2 (Waste Down)
2nd & 3-6 (Normal)
2nd & 7 or more (Long)
3rd & 1-2 (Short)
3rd & 3-5 (Medium)
3rd & 6 or more (Long)
A. 1st & 10
We must expect in this instance either pass or run and use one of our
combination defenses which gives us an excellent running defense plus a
strong passing defense. At times, due to calculated frequencies through
our scouting system, we may concentrate more emphasis on one phase of
their attack rather than the other in this particular down and distance.
Good time to offset or use sound stunt and cause blocking problems.
B. 2nd & 1-2 - Waste Down
Many teams have a tendency to go for a home run play on 2nd & 1-2.
C. 2nd & 3-6 yds (Medium)
In this situation percentages tend to show that most teams will favor their
running attacks, although this does not eliminate the possibility of the
pass. Due to such a percentage, we would tend to select one of our
running defenses that is designed to impair our opponents¶ running game,
but still gives us ample pass coverage.
D. 2nd & 7 or more (Long)
This situation is predicated by success or failure on 1st down. If the

offense ran the ball and got stopped, greater chance of pass. If the offense
passed the ball and it was incomplete greater chance of run. Know what
happened on 1st down!
E. 3rd & 1-2 (Short)
We must expect our opponents to select their best offensive play in this
situation. We will definitely concentrate on stopping their best play with
our best running defense. Our theory is to meet strength with strength in
this situation. We must stop their offense for no gain or a loss in this
situation.
F. 3rd & 3-6 (Medium)
We regard this situation in theory the same as 2nd & Normal, but
whatever the offense selects to run against us, we must hold them to less
than 6 yards to force them into a kicking situation.
G. 3rd & 6 or more (Long)
In this situation we find through percentages that most of our opponents

tend to rely upon their passing game more frequently than their running
game. With this in mind we will select one of our defenses that is
designed to give us maximum pass coverage. In other instances, we must
select one of our blitzing defenses to put pressure on the opposing
quarterbacks, thus disturbing the timing of their passing attack.

CALLING THE FORMATION
Offensive formations are broken down into four parts and are called in the
following order:
1. Name of the motion if applicable (Z motion, Near I Motion, etc).
2. Name of ending formation by position of backs. (split, I, near I, far I,

etc«)
3. Position of the receivers (slot, wing, crack).
4. The strength of the formation by run strength. (Right or Left).
5. In two back formations, if the TE (Y) and the Flanker (Z) are on the same
side. This is an example of ³PRO´ formation.

8 man front depending on formation. Used versus 12,21, and 11

personnel. Coverage responsibilities depend on formation
| 2|
1. Versus Single (11 Personnel) play 1 Read to 2 speed and ³4´ to 1

speed.
A. Run fits versus Single depends on back action. Action to TE
side puts the safety in the run fit. Action to the flex side puts
the Nickel/Sam in the run fit.
2. Versus Pro (21) and Ace (12) backfield action determines the run
fits.
3. ³4´ side corners can bump or bail as a change up.
4. Usually double called because we only want ³4´ versus certain

formations.
Example:
A. Under Nike 4 Solo (11)
B. Over 4 Lock (21)
C. Over 4 Solo (12)
5. Can also be played versus 22 personnel (Tite).

Example:
A. ³U´ Over 4.
