DEFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY
Tulane defensive philosophy is to keep the offense out of the end zone by playing hard and being fundamentally sound. We will achieve this by aggressively swarming to the football, being great tacklers, creating turnovers and limiting big offensive plays.

BALL DISRUPTION
Ball Disruption is defined as an attempt by the defense to adversely affect the normal flow of the offense by applying pressure to the football on every play. It is unrealistic to expect turnovers on every play, but our goal is to create ball disruption every time the ball snaps. If we do that, the turnovers will come in bunches. Components of disruption are as followed. These plays will be referred to as M.A.D. plays- Make A Difference plays. They will be logged and shared within the group. There are no secrets; those that make these plays are THE PLAYMAKERS. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. Scoring on defense Interceptions Caused fumbles Fumble recoveries Pass break-ups Sacks Quarterback hits Caused interceptions Eligible receiver knockdowns Forcing eligible receiver out of bounds

K.
L. M. N. O.

Third down stop tackles

Fourth down stop tackles Tackles that keep the runner in bounds vs. hurry up offense Tackles for loss yardage Caused sacks (coachs judgment)

BALL DISRUPTION
Ball awareness is essence of ball disruption. If we are aware of where the football is and the manner in which it is being carried, we will understand the opportunities for ball disruption. We want our tacklers to see more than the bll carrier. We want to see the football. If we become more aware of the football we can apply the following axioms for ball disruption: A. The QB is the most vulnerable ball carrier when he is in the pocket or when he is running with the football. The opportunity to cause the QB to fumble are greater than they are with any other offensive player. B. The ball carrier is vulnerable to losing the football when: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. C. He carries the ball away from his body He is being gang tackled He is switching the ball from what hand to another He carries the ball with his inside arm while near the sideline He does not see the tackler coming He takes a direct hit on the football

Anytime our opponent practices poor ball security we must have enough ball awareness to see this for what it is; an opportunity to gain possession of the football.

STRIPPING THE FOOTBALL

1. 2. If the ball is being carried in a secure manner, we want to put our hat through the ball and wrap with both hands. If the ball is being carried in a loose, away from the body manner, we want the tackler to hat up the ball carrier and punch the football with the wrap-up hand to the side of the ball. If the ball carrier is running near the sideline and the ball is in the inside hand, want the hat to go through the ball.

3.

4.

If tackling a ball carrier from behind, we want to insure the tackle by grabbing the shoulder pads at the back of the neck while either clubbing down on the ball if it is being held loosely, or punching the ball out by reaching between the elbow and the body of the runner.
When we are involved in the pass rush we have a great opportunity to club the ball away from the QB by reaching our outside arm. Understand, the ball will either be in the QBs chest before he starts his delivery or near his throwing shoulder as he starts his throwing motion.

5.

6.
7.

When the ball carrier has been hit, by appearance controlled by the tackler, we want the next man involved to tackle the ball and take it away.
There are instances when a defender who is engaged by a blocker has no recourse but to lunge and arm tackle the ball carrier. When faced with this situation, grab for the ball if it is in the near arm of the ball carrier. Practical application: We will work very hard to teach ball stripping techniques. In order to develop these techniques, we will adhere to the following practical format: A. We want to develop ball awareness as we practice against our offense B. C. We will exhibit ball awareness by using the techniques mentioned above on a daily basis. These techniques will be applied in 9 on 7, 7 on 7, group, or team periods with no regards to which side of the ball is emphasized.

8.

D. Even during no contact practice one can exhibit ball awareness by simply tapping the ball as you tag off the ball carrier.

M.A.D. PLAYS
Make a difference plays!
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Scoring on defense/ special teams Interceptions Caused fumbles Fumble recoveries Pass break-ups Sacks Quarterback hits/ hurries Eligible receiver knockdowns Forcing eligible receivers out of bounds

SUDDEN CHANGE
Sudden change is an unexpected shift of momentum (usually caused by a turnover). 1. What it takes (Attitude) A) Realize that we must get up mentally and stop the opponent B) Cant go on the field emotionally down; must be ready to play and change the momentum. C) Accept the challenge of stopping the offense; we dont blame or point fingers at anyone. 2.

How to Eliminate Big Plays

KEEP THE CUP
KEEP THE CUP is a concept we will use to teach leverage vs. a ball carrier. 3 LEVERAGE PRINCIPLES
1. FORCE: THE DESCRIPITION OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUTSIDE LEVERAGE ON A BALL CARRIER.

2. PURSUIT: THE DESCRIPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSIDE LEVERAGE ON A BALL CARRIER. 3. FILL: THE DESCRIPTION OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MIDDLE PORTION BETWEEN FORCE AND PURSUIT.

KEEPING THE CUP GREATLY DIMINISHES THE CHANCE FOR GIVING UP A BIG PLAY!

GOAL LINE
The goal line represents the last opportunity the defense has to stop the offense from scoring. 1. What does it take on the Goal Line A) Attitude - nobody gets in our end zone B) Extra concentration and a higher intensity level on every play C) Big play mentality - somebody needs to rise to the occasion and make the big play. 2. How to play at the Goal Line

A) Maintain leverage, stay low and penetrate the offensive side of the ball.
B) Play your responsibility first C) Play one play at a time 3. What the Goal Line does for us

A) Keeps points off the board

B) Demoralizes the offense C) Puts momentum on our side D) Makes us a great defensive team

ELIMINATE PENALTIES

D) Commitment to hard work 2. How to play with Enthusiasm A) Every drill you do and every play you play, give maximum effort (practice habit) B) Be a positive player (encourage teammates) C) Give all of yourself towards the team D) Celebrate with your teammates after a big hit, turnover, or big play 3. What does Enthusiasm do

A) Brings the entire teams level up.

B) Gets the crowd behind us C) Discourages opponents D) Makes us a great defensive team

ONE PLAY AT A TIME

There are 5 phases to every football play, each is of vital importance to the next. You cannot have a successful play unless you execute each phase properly. 1. Call: Get and understand each phase of the call and understand what it means to you. Recognition of Formation: We must recognize each offensive formation and communicate it to each other. We must know its strength, weaknesses, and tendencies and how each of these affect the call. Alignment: We must take the exact alignment required by the call and dictated by the offensive formation. Always align in the best position for you to execute your responsibility. 80% of all errors come as a result of poor alignment. Key: Your key is a tool to give you every advantage over what the offense can do to you. It will never lie. Execution: If we have taken care of the previous 4 phases, then execution becomes the key to playing great defense. We are going to execute with intelligence, desire, and enthusiasm. There are a handful of plays (4 or 5) that will determine the outcome of the game. We need to make the majority of these plays to WIN. Many of these plays occur in the 4th quarter. We must be dominant in the 4th quarter to be a great defensive team.

DOWN AND DISTANCE THEORY

As a Defensive Unit, we must at all times know the down and distance situation. Our opponents will, in most instances, classify themselves according to down and distance as to the formations they will use, and the type of play (pass) or (run-inside or outside) we should be expecting. With this in mind, you should memorize the following down and distance chart to better help you understand how we try to set our Defenses up and prepare yourself for the situations that will present themselves. 1st & 10 2nd & 1-2 (Waste Down) 2nd & 3-6 (Normal) 2nd & 7 or more (Long) 3rd & 1-2 (Short) 3rd & 3-5 (Medium) 3rd & 6 or more (Long) A. 1st & 10 We must expect in this instance either pass or run and use one of our combination defenses which gives us an excellent running defense plus a strong passing defense. At times, due to calculated frequencies through our scouting system, we may concentrate more emphasis on one phase of their attack rather than the other in this particular down and distance. Good time to offset or use sound stunt and cause blocking problems. B. 2nd & 1-2 - Waste Down Many teams have a tendency to go for a home run play on 2nd & 1-2.

C.

2nd & 3-6 yds (Medium) In this situation percentages tend to show that most teams will favor their running attacks, although this does not eliminate the possibility of the pass. Due to such a percentage, we would tend to select one of our running defenses that is designed to impair our opponents running game, but still gives us ample pass coverage.

D.

2nd & 7 or more (Long) This situation is predicated by success or failure on 1 st down. If the offense ran the ball and got stopped, greater chance of pass. If the offense passed the ball and it was incomplete greater chance of run. Know what happened on 1st down!

E.

3rd & 1-2 (Short) We must expect our opponents to select their best offensive play in this situation. We will definitely concentrate on stopping their best play with our best running defense. Our theory is to meet strength with strength in this situation. We must stop their offense for no gain or a loss in this situation.

F.

3rd & 3-6 (Medium) We regard this situation in theory the same as 2nd & Normal, but whatever the offense selects to run against us, we must hold them to less than 6 yards to force them into a kicking situation.

G.

3rd & 6 or more (Long) In this situation we find through percentages that most of our opponents tend to rely upon their passing game more frequently than their running game. With this in mind we will select one of our defenses that is designed to give us maximum pass coverage. In other instances, we must select one of our blitzing defenses to put pressure on the opposing quarterbacks, thus disturbing the timing of their passing attack.

Offensive Terminology

OFFENSIVE PERSONNEL COMBINATIONS

Base offensive personnel, are 2 receivers, 2 running backs, and 1 TE. Since the offenses are now using varied personnel combinations, we will use the following codes in referring to the different combinations on the field.

1. 2. 3. 4.

Z = Flanker W = 4th Wide Receiver X = Split End H = 3rd Tight End S = 3rd Wide Receiver U = 2nd Tight End to Weak Side

Each offensive set is divided into a strong and weak side which is determined by the TE. All potential receivers will be numbered as to where they align in the formation. If no TE or 2, TE call is to the passing strength. For balanced sets in the middle of the field, strength will be to the defensive left. If a balanced set is on the hash, the strength will be called to the field.

DESCRIPTION 8 man front depending on formation. Used versus 12,21, and 11 personnel. Coverage responsibilities depend on formation

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1. Versus Single (11 Personnel) play 1 Read to 2 speed and 4 to 1 speed. A. Run fits versus Single depends on back action. Action to TE side puts the safety in the run fit. Action to the flex side puts the Nickel/Sam in the run fit. Versus Pro (21) and Ace (12) backfield action determines the run fits. 4 side corners can bump or bail as a change up. Usually double called because we only want 4 versus certain formations. Example: A. Under Nike 4 Solo (11) B. Over 4 Lock (21) C. Over 4 Solo (12) Can also be played versus 22 personnel (Tite). Example: A. U Over 4.
