S04E03: Outside Linebacker Play in the 3-4 & Sub Packages w/ Bobby April III (Wisconsin)

Make Defense Great Again

Season 4, Episode 3 is with Bobby April, OLB coach at Wisconsin. Coach April and I go through all of the run techniques and pass drops required for his position in a "multiple' defense like Wisconsin. His position plays traditional OLB in the 3-4 sets and then moves to DEs in their Nickel package, which requires quite a bit of dropping.

Topics Include:

• Force Players
• Inside Charges
• Trace Technique
• Technique with Rocket Pressures
• Q to Cut Technique
• Pulling & Arcing Offensive Tackles
• Learning & Helping Others
• 3 Deep Overview
