Eight-man front installs, run fits, coverages and spread adjustments.
The 4-4 is the classic eight-man front for stopping the run, and the 4-4 defense coaching videos in this category show how to install it, fit every gap, and still hold up in coverage against spread and passing teams. Coordinators cover alignment rules, stunts and blitzes from the front, cover 3 and man variations, and how the outside linebackers adjust to formations.
You will also find the drills for defensive linemen and linebackers that make the 4-4 physical, and cut-ups against the Wing-T, I-formation and spread that show the fits in action.
