How to Play Defensive End : Stance for Defensive Ends in Football

[AreYouADragon]

2 point sucks ass. 3 point/4point is best

[hbolle00]

WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!

[flashyassin]

Defensive Ends can use a three-four point stance depending on the type of defense they're running, for example nickle D.

[iowamadman18]

i play defensive end at my school and use the 2 point stance, our coaches tell us we are playing a 5-2 which is true because i play on the line of scrimage.. but really isn't a 3-4 because im not a down lineman??

[dangzard]

My inside foot is always back, I swim or rip through the O tackle, when there's a tight end I'm ALWAYS outside of the tackle inside of the tight end.

[xpress1546]

i lead my team to the state championship 23 sacks 9 tackes 4 interceptions 23 fumbles coused 5 fumbles 4 touchdows

[MrTaylor314ce]

@xpress1546 nobody gives a shit about your made up stats.

[unbidzolo]

2 point stance are you serious?

[SaltySangster]

I do 3 point, tried standing but it was to weird.

[bulldogs195]

that 3 point stance was shit

[snakeman32695]

is that kid lined up across from him really supposed to be a tackle?? Psh, i want to line up against him please when im at D end!

[kasteraiph]

i do 4-point stance when im on defensive end. it makes me explode way faster

[MrPissmachine]

i see alot of d-ends use 2 point stances in canada

[iheartwhiffle]

i use a 4 point

[five20sven]

@iheartwhiffle better for d tackles to use

[Crucialpantydroppa]

Wow....this guy is a horrible coach. D ends at a 2 point stance? what a joke lololololo!!! and those kids suited up are definitely not athletes

[beaver2121]

You can tell this team sucks. Wich is too bad cuz 9 looks like he could be good if he was well coached

[Brendon411Beast]

this looks so unprofessional its not even funny

[mongo7211]

dude he is practickly just holding him self up on his hand if the guy infrount is a bit faster than your defensive end is fucked cuse he could just smack his arm or push him down

[mnkyboy121]

GO BROWN BISON!

[TheDeathmachine33]

our coach tells us to gets as low as your can, lower your shoulder, and get by the lineman without them being able to touch you. and if im lined up on the tight end i get gapped over and the safety of cornerback covers the tight end. It works pretty good cause when you get in the gap nobody can block you and you make an easy tackle

[captainbannana69]

think i'll just go watch some jared allen or julius peppers highlight vids.....

[Crucialpantydroppa]

@captainbannana69 lol...yes these "expertvillage" videos are a joke

[XxHaHaXx3]

I'm learning more from comments than I am the video.

[halabinono]

this video sucks... his 3 point sucks, way up to high, and wtf is the point of a two point stance in defensive end youll just fail XD

[bobackattack]

this video is sooo wrong. i have never seen an end ina 2 point stance. ina 3 point stance your butt needs to be higher than your head and hand 6-8 inches in front of face mask. and you can bull rush outta any stance and you gotta be lower than the OL and shoot your hands to the breast plate. 4 point stance is okay its whatever you are comfortable with

[burnwild28]

@youarealooser You never seen a end use a 2pt stance. on my team thts pretty much all we use.

[IziahVideos]

your guys are standing straight up

[surfer5864]

everything in this video is wrong

[IziahVideos]

i got a question about defense ends,when ever they get on the line,i get in a 4 point stance? or is a 4 point the stance i always use,And do we always just run in to try and nail the quarterback,or whoever has the ball?

[1l0velesbians]

@IziahVideos It depends on the defense formations and the assignments. Generally the job of a D-End is to create pressure on the outside but your job is also to contain and stop any runs from going to your outside shoulder. Your job is to slow them down and force them inside and make the tackle.

[drhendrixrush69]

thats a shit 3 point

[nyrobinson51]

@drhendrixrush69...agree

[trucker920peterbilt]

DEFENSIVE END'S KICK ASS i should know im 1 my self ohright

[rostine1980]

what nfl team did u coach for? non.....expert my ass

[NurseKs]

always put the inside hand down

[Frownzero]

expert village is not legit .... don't trust this guy your better off guessing what to do NO LIESS

[nexsus230]

i had a better stance in seventh grade at end than these guys

[yankeesrock2357]

expert village is not the best to trust when it comes to sport...

[dbiggs76]

wow, do u guys even know football

[STEVEBO091]

you are so wrong coach your inside hand should always be down

[whodis808]

well there are some pointswhere a two point stance is better off

idk

but for some reason the guys stance looks kind of funny

[youarealooser]

i have never seen an end use a 2-point

[nancyANDaliyah]

2 point is better

[Dragonix44]

in nfl most ppl dont use 2 point stances.

in high school football a lot of ppl do, in my area at least.

its cuz 2 point stances are very easy to block out since they just hit ur stomach and ull be blocked out for a while, or they can shove ur pads straight up.

[1l0velesbians]

@Dragonix44 actually most of the 3-4 defense teams in the nfl has the outside linebackers on the line pretty much like D-ends except in a two point stance.

[Dragonix44]

@1l0velesbians

i guess so, but the difference is that the outside linebackers that are lined up looking like d -ends will drop back in coverage unless theyre on a blitz

real d ends that rush in every play dont get any power from a two point stance, and they dont have to worry about dropping back into coverage so they use 3 points

[FootballBoi815]

i use a 2-point stance and i got 3 tackles and 1 sack.

2-point stance is great when tacking off, 3-point is a little bit better for maintaining a gap inside.

[youarealooser]

Yea, my school runs a 3-3-5 defense so its just a nose and two ends, but a lot of 5-2 D's we play have ends in a two point, it just depends on the team/coach

[ILoveFatChickz]

@youarealooser Yeah know. But I have seen LBs get in the line with 2point.

[jsh1831]

I have.

[Xunizixkun]

@youarealooser i have its usually in Canada

[Grayos88]

@youarealooser Washington Reskins DE's use 2point.

[MickyDizm]

@youarealooser ours do

[HippoInTheShoe]

@youarealooser My coaches say that tall defensive ends or in just some situations it's good for an end to use 2-point, I use 2-point about as much if not more than I use a 3-point.

[MrGuitargamer]

@youarealooser ur an idiot

[1l0velesbians]

@youarealooser in some high schools colleges and even nfl the defensive end uses a 2 point stance for example a 3-4 formation usually has an outside linebacker rushing constantly usually pretty much like a d-end like damarcus ware for example thats what i think he means by the 2 point stance for defensive ends. If you pay attention to a team with a 3-4 formation you would see what i mean.

[rob3132]

@youarealooser my school uses it we use it to great success. it isnt effective against run block so its a guess basically and if your wrong your fucked lol and worst D line stance ever

[Bozanaitor]

@youarealooser high schools use it because the ends usually set up outside of the offencive line, not shadow blocking them. If you start on two feet with out your hand that means you can get around and contain faster.

[airsoftM4G18allthewa]

@youarealooser youve never seen a football game in that case

[MrTdogg32]

@youarealooser  i have i use it all the time

[bap4870]

@youarealooser then u don kno football....its really common

[DjPimpMaster]

@youarealooser really because ive never seen a DE use a 3-point stance i only use 2-point

[brazilican94]

@youarealooser i do all the time



[TheM4A1Clan]

@youarealooser The two point is better for containment because you have more speed, the three point is better for rushing the QB or HB because you have more power.

[3xXdonaldXxE]

these videos are so sorry i play d end an this stuff dosent help at all it just makes you look bad.

[kkelley09]

this video is stupid, they dont know what they are talking about

[Yeezy73]

This is BAD TECHNIQUE..All The way

[beast62ahs]

I want to attend Kansas State baaad. I use to love watching them play football and running around on the field. Now i live in texas tho but im tryna get a scholarship there. Ima bout 6'2, bench about 230 and weigh about 200. I ran a 4.9 but i had a torn miniscus.I play DE/TE and idk how ill hold up in college. Im a junoir in high school and im getting faster and stronger cuz im recovering from a surgury, any one got some good advice?

[whitewashed100]

not watch this video..

[Allen99]

expert village made a huge mistake.....this guy is baaad

[jam0523]

i use the 1-point stance

[phatpeople1234]

nice lol

[19Kyle96]

1 point? Ima tell my coach that one. That should help me get the HB or QB.

[justinchaffin1013]

@19Kyle96 what i usally just do is let him push me back the tightend back a little back then throw him to the side when he lets off then get the HB

[ZeldaFreak111]

no 4 point? lolz

[jayndrakea7xaddicts]

i used to like 4 point till my coach showed me why we dont do it. he put me in a 4 point, we got set and as soon as i came up he clubbed my head down.lesson learned.

[blacktardbear]

he should drop his ass lower to the ground in tht 2 point stance

[51iohC]

true true

[Ranard1]

he tells me that it looks like am to high because i am tall and says i look like i want to be tackled instead of me want to tackle someone else

[Ranard1]

my coach keep telling me my stance is off and i dont kno whats wrong wit it

[ersersers12]

what does he say is wrong buddy?

[xEaW137]

On the 2-point stance, your torso should be near parralel to the ground, ready to "pounce" on the tackle or TE, hands out to get ready to rip or swim...the high stance allows for an easy crack-back from a motioning receiver or tight-end.

[ersersers12]

actually his left hand should be down along with his left foot being back.the inside foot/inside hand are always back/down.if he was on the other side it would be his right hand/foot,that is so he wont get reached.his toes should also be straight with a little air underneath his heals.his butt should be slightly higher than his hat.that will allow him to snap his hips and get himself across the line of scrimmage into the gap because this is an attack stance which applies to one-gap football.
