FREE 4 MINUTE PREVIEW



Jim Girard
Defensive Coordinator
Wayland High School (MA)

In this second of five instructional videos, Coach Jim Girard of Wayland High School (MA) describes how his defense defends outside running plays--the toss, quick pitch and jet sweep. A defense built on speed, Coach Girard installed the 30 Stack defense to maximize his team's strengths. The key to being successful against outside running plays is aligning the defense to pursue at the proper angles.

In this video, you will learn from Coach Girard:
* The keys to defending the outside running plays--the toss, quick pitch, and jet sweep--with the 30 Stack defense.
* The importance of aligning the defense to pursue at the proper angles.
* The two most important statistics for any defense: points against and turnover ratio.
* Responsibilities of the linebackers in stopping the outside run.
* BONUS PACKAGE (what ifs?): Coach Girard covers questions related to defending the edge from various offensive sets and formations.

Coach Girard:
"With our defense predicated on speed, our kids understand the proper angles to the fullback when out on the perimeter. Part of what we teach is trusting the person who is setting the edge. In this case, the OLB."

This video contains extensive use of game film.
