About this video
Nothing gets the Southlake Carroll defense going like stopping the run. In this coaching video, defensive coordinator Shannon Wilson walks through run fits in the 4-3 defense one position at a time - defensive tackles, defensive ends, linebackers and safeties - and backs every segment with game film of that position doing the job. He then takes the fits and applies them to the run schemes you have to stop on Friday night: ISO, Power and Option.

Frequently asked questions
What does this video teach?
Run fits in the 4-3 defense, broken down by position - defensive tackles, defensive ends, linebackers and safeties - and then applied to specific offensive run schemes: ISO, Power and Option.
Who is it written for?
High school defensive staffs, from the coordinator to the individual position coaches. The fit principles are front-based, so coaches in a four-man-front defense who use different terminology can still map their rules onto what Coach Wilson shows.

Is there enough film to use it as a teaching tool with players?
Yes - Coach Wilson pairs every position group and every run scheme with its own game film, so the video works as an install tool in a staff meeting or a unit meeting with players.
