Frequently asked questions
What does this video teach?
How Victory Christian Academy defends the spread passing game: multiple coverages that confuse the quarterback and receivers, pressure and coverage combinations against explosive plays, zone and man answers for vertical routes, linebacker and boundary corner blitz packages, and cover 2 or cloud against sprint out.
What level is it aimed at?
High school defensive coordinators and defensive backs coaches first, though college coaches facing 90, 50 and sprint-out passing games will recognize the same problems. Nothing is tied to one front, so it fits odd and even defenses.
