About this video
Delta State head coach Ron Roberts builds a quarterback-attacking plan for coaches at every level, and he starts where he says every pressure package has to start: understanding pass protections. "Our defense is predicated on getting someone free to get to the quarterback," he explains, and the session covers the formations, slants, stunts and blitz calls that accomplish it with both zone and man pressure. His defense finished second in the nation in getting to the quarterback.

Why start with pass protections?
Coach Roberts calls understanding protections the number one key to both zone and man pressure - you cannot free a rusher until you know who is blocking him, so the blitz menu is taught against specific protections.
