About this video
In a spread offense, managing the blitz is the difference between a drive and a three-and-out. David Wilkerson, offensive coordinator at Northeast Mississippi Community College, has spent his whole career testing strategies and theories against pressure, and in this video he gives up the personal formula he settled on. It is not a single protection call, it is a package: pocket movement, screens and rules for controlling a blitzing defense before it ever gets home.
