About this video
Tim Place shows how Urbana University creates confusion and pressure by moving first-level players around the defensive line and layering zone and man pressures on top of the 4-2-5. The Blue Knights finished third in the nation among NAIA colleges in sacks with this approach, and Coach Place's point throughout Part 4 of his five-part series is simplicity: the movements and pressures give the offense a multitude of looks to prepare for, but they need very little extra teaching for your players.

Frequently asked questions
What does First Level Movements and Zone Pressures cover?
How Coach Place moves defensive linemen (the first level) around the D-line to confuse blockers, plus the zone pressures and man pressures Urbana layers on the 4-2-5 to attack from different angles. The emphasis is on looks that are easy to teach.
Do I need to run the 4-2-5?
No. Coach Place states the man and zone pressures are applicable to every coach regardless of the defense, so high school and college coordinators in a 4-3, 3-4 or odd front can add the movements to their own package.

How much teaching does it take to add these movements?
Not much, which is Coach Place's main point. The first-level moves and pressures are added on top of the base 4-2-5 without a lot of new instruction, yet they make the opponent prepare for a multitude of looks. Game film shows each movement and pressure in action.
