Yeah, we are teaching the fundamentals. We still have to have a plan.

1)If the give it to their RB and he pulls up to throw, Who is going after the RB and who is staying in coverage?

2)If they go empty, does each player know if we are playing zone or man and their responsibility in each?

3) If they try to run a reverse, the kids have to know who's job it is to attack the reverse and who's job it is to be looking for it on the back side.

4) Hell forget about the tricky stuff, If they run towards you, is your job to attack inside out or contain? If they run away from you, are you cut back or are you staying home to watch for a reverse? If they pass, do you know where your zone is? If we are in man, do you know where your man is?

Offense is obviously a little easier because you can show them the play and they can just run the route they see but on defense there is a lot going on .
