“My advice to defensive players: Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in a bad humor.”

-Bowden Wyatt/Tennessee

The job of the defense is simple: Stop the offense. There are many different ways to skin that cat but we will choose one that has worked for us.

It doesn’t matter is you are in a 5-3, 4-4, 3-5. It doesn’t matter if you run a “Jam and contain”, “Trap and kill”, or “Attack and destroy”, the most important thing about defense is tackling. You must be in the right place at the right time and tackle well. The rest is all opinion.

In the ”Defense” chapter of this book we will lay out the defense we run. We are not saying it’s better than the others, but it has won in over 90% of the games we have played over the past 17 years.
