The Swarm is an active decision that becomes part of our DNA with daily repetition. Smart Swarm Pursuit is the way of the defensive warrior #NeverLOS

Pursuit of Happiness: watching film on a Sunday morning with your coach and being complemented for your angle to the ball: full speed, correct angle, tracking near hips, finishing like a DUDE #NoLOS

Cold Winter is coming soon... its easy to put in the effort when coaches and teammates watch... but the true test of a competitor is when no one is watching... sometimes you'll have to swarm solo, but you always do it for the team in the long run #SoloSWARM

Play Action Pass Coverage for 2nd Level Defenders: once the threat of draw is eliminated, turn and sprint to your location / under routes, let the ball hit you in the back of the head, it's still a PBU in the statline... Don't stare in the backfield, recover, don't #LOS

[@TheSwarm @TheSwarm18]

Set your alarm early and wake up every day without hitting the snooze, its wasted time in life... Hitting the SNOOZE=LOS #DontLOSInLife

4th quarter swarm > 1st quarter swarm / you and your defense MUST be prepared to give more late in the game when both teams are tiring and technique, heart, and pure desire take over to finish a game #HeartSwarm

[@TheSwarm @TheSwarm18]

Defenses often times undervalue the old school "C-C-R" player, if you don't have someone on every play in position for the COUNTER, CUTBACK, or REVERSE... you'll pay with a big play that can change the outcome of a game #SwarmFact #SmartSwarm

Attention to detail in all aspects of your life is the starting point of self-accountability, you cannot be trusted be your teammates and #TheSwarm until you can successfully hold yourself accountable in every piece of your life #DontLOSInLife

[@TheSwarm @TheSwarm18]

True leadership is a reflection in times when things are not easy, in times of chaos and adversity, when your back is to the wall and the game is on the line #TrueLeadersNeverLOS

TRUST: having the chemistry and accountability built off the field knowing that the other 10 alongside you on defense will all do their job the right way every time, so you can do your job on the field and never worry about the SWARM #SmartSwarmMentality

Being a great defense means to be driven for greatness in three areas: TACKLING *being great in the open field / TURNOVERS *obsessed with causing havoc and getting the ball for the O / PURSUIT *the swarm mentality if relentless pursuit #NeverLOS

[@TheSwarm @TheSwarm18]

Never assume a teammate will make a play, if you do, the result when the tackle or play isn't made, is a CHANGE IN SPEED on your part to make up for it, and that is a LOS... #NeverLOS

[@TheSwarm @TheSwarm18]

Smart Swarm Defined: every member of the hive knows their specific angle to the ball in pursuit, knows where their help is on every play, and pursues relentlessly to the ball carrier #SwarmLaw

Your importance to the defense and the swarm is proportional to your distance from the ball when the whistle blows at the end of every play #NeverLOS
