About this video
John McCall once coordinated a state championship defense that intercepted 32 passes in a single season, and this video is where that takeaway machine gets explained. Coach McCall details the secondary package behind the 3-4 Stack defense at Richland High School: match-up zone technique, the specific coverages he calls, and the disguise work that makes a zone look like something else until the ball is snapped. The goal throughout is simple, more takeaways.

Frequently asked questions
Which coverages are on this video?
The Richland secondary package out of the 3-4 Stack: Robber with pattern reads, Yellow as a combination Cover 2, 2-Man as a playside Cover 1, the Read scheme, and the Pick and Raven rotations, plus match-up zone technique.
Can I use these if I am not a 3-4 team?
Yes. The coverages, pattern reads and disguise rules belong to the secondary, so defensive backs coaches at the high school and small college level can carry them over to a four-man front.
What is the format and price?
It is a $19.95 Buy Now, Watch Now streaming video, in your AFM Videos account the second the order goes through, watchable on any device as many times as you like. A 1-Year All Access membership is $99 and opens the whole library instead.
How do you teach disguise without busting coverages?
That is the heart of the video. Coach McCall shows the pre-snap looks and rotations, including Pick and Raven, that let a secondary hide its intention while every defender still has a rule on the snap, and the game film shows it working.
