this isnt helping me im hhetting doubled teamed i can do all this!

[wtfamidoing12344]

@ParkerKaneshow if your getting double teamed that means your doing your job correctly, so good job! but iim a strong guy so i just like push them apart but if you cant hit one in the leg as hard as you can, then rip off the second guy.

[ikrhaha]

i like how they put the smallest guy on the team against the d-end. tf?

[Ashburn1011]

this is called Expert Villiage right? Why arent they teaching any expert moves? this is stuff you learn in pee wee football

I hate it when I make the RB turn inside and the backer doesn't get him, or on option the backer doesn't get the pitch-man T.T

i have a habit of always running upfield because idk if the play is a pass or a runn , so i try to get to the QB ASAP , so if it was a run they would always run past me because im already upfield . So JW how to stay at home and when to go upfield . I try to stay at home and try read the play and swim move or rip move but not good at reactionng fast.

@Yeahbuddy1993 The main job as a DE is to contain the outside, that's what you really want to accomplish as the DE. If you have the outside contain, the RB will obviously cut back into the inside with your LBs waiting to show him the ground. You will mainly rush up field and play aggressive when you know that it's a passing situation or you have a fast enough reaction to react when it's a running play, especially to YOUR side! Good luck! I LOVE FOOTBALL! :)

@Yeahbuddy1993 Presure Key Read Key. I was like that my freshmen year always pass rushing. Look at the type of block the O-line trying to do on you. If he takes something like a side step he is most likely going to reach block you meaning its a run play. If you see the O-line back peddle or shift in one direction as a unit it's a pass.

Of course another main focus was to keep outside contained.

[RockBandDevil88]

Yep, we had a play last year, in one of our games, my d-line coach told me to contain, and i contained the outside and the running back saw me and cut up the B gap, and then of course it was the outside linebackers responsibility to pick him up

[pilotguy87]

As a Defensive end. I would try my best to always stay in my spot no matter what. When the ball was snapped my first reaction was to get a hold of the guy in front of me and keep him locked out while I watched for the ball. If it came anywhere near where I was at I would shuck the guy away what ever direction i needed to to make the best of the play and stay low to make the tackle. I did pretty well. I always made it a point to stay in my small section of field no matter what. It really worked.

[MaiProd]

a DE is supposed to line up with the ball. when the ball carrier comes toward you your supposed to angle your self so the the ball carrier doesnt get on the outside of you, therefore giveing you a better chance to get the tackle or a less of a chance hes going to go for a big gain.

[isaac13H]

that's a big typo it's the outside not the inside because the defensive is just going to get pushed around

[noobkiller350]

they r dumb go to the outside not the inside

[broederkundoe]

yeah they look extremely awkward :D
