Rick Stewart updates his very successful 4-2-5 Gang Green defense adding pattern reads and robber coverages within the secondary, making this defense even more formidable. In addition if you have watched previous “Gang Green 4-2-5” videos, Coach Stewart covers some changes and improvements they have made in the past couple of seasons.
- A New revolver coverage and Cover 3 vs. various formations and tailored for high school teams.
- S & OLB pattern read #2 WR, while CB reads #1 WR.
- Split Field alignment requiring the DB to only recognize 5 offense formation possibilities, which makes it easier for coaches to teach their linebackers and defensive backs how to handle combination routes and identify their individual zones.
- Known for his attention to detail Coach Stewart walks you through every route possibility for each defensive back and linebacker discussing reads and responsibilities.
- Robber coverage explained and demonstrated in detail through interactive presentation showcasing alignments and technique. Each read and position is broken down in detail.
- Coach ends with an inside look at a cover 2 scheme to put in place as an added tool for the defensive coverage tool box.
The Revolver & Robber Concepts are great ways to disguise coverages, confuse the QB, and making sure that the “defense is always right” since they are reacting to what the offensive WR does.
