LSU Eyes/Hot Coverage Call Cutup vs Florida: Bench Panther.
Cats = Eye/Hot Coverage
Bench = 3T set to the boundary.
Panther = Backer Blitz A gap to the call, Star blitz the B gap to the call.
Against Florida, LSU used a heavy dose of both Firezones, as well as Eyes.
Coaches should *NOT* be using ChatGPT for advice leading their teams.
It wasn't built for coaches. Or for the purpose of leading teams, driving performance, or working with athletes.
ChatGPT is a generic tool that gives generic output.
So I built a tool specifically for coaches. It's used by pro, college, and HS coaches across the country.

@dmesser_25 - How to make my practice plan more efficient

I like it! Much more realistic than many tackling drills I see. In game setting backs usually make their move ~4-6 yards from defender. Most tackle drills have us almost coming to a stop right before contact!
The gather phase is to collect information and set your angle. Then you can re- accelerate. A couple things to note as they progress:
1. Start to increase the speed of the runner - give him 2 cuts. Stress the defender to have to make a faster decision and read his body language.
2. Give Safeties angles he will see in game. C/2, C/4, Post, Running alley.
3. Teach players how to discern RB body language ie: read shoulders.
Nice work!
Jim Schwartz on playing 1 defense and how easy it was to fit the run. How he played one front and it tied into all his personnel groupings.
How his wide 9 defense came about.

Leading the league in sacks even though he only blitzed 8% of the time.
Great listen for defensive coordinators! Full video on my drive.
