How to Play Defensive Tackle : Pass Rushing from a Three Point Stance in Football

[drewbdrew10]

ha I'm a nosegaurd and pretty much all of this is wrong the best thing my coach has told me is that the lower man in football will always win if i were to do this at one of my teams practices i would first be laid out then have to do up downs the rest of the practice.

[bigshowWLA]

@SEagles78 4 point isn't post to be fast

[IxCRUNKSKUNKxI]

Aunt Jemima would make real good friends with you, Pshh, pancake.

[SEagles78]

I always got off the ball the fastest in a three point. 4 point, I just can't get the same explosion as a 3.

[Relentless3472]

3 point? Haha I remember playing defense in elementary. 4 point bud

[Gamakichi4tv]

this is horrible, keeping your butt in the air is better for a deffencive stance, what we do is get down on a 3 point stance raise our hand back fingers to the sky then get off and rip with it, gin, this guy's coaching is horrible.

[INSANERHINO98]

wow this guy s retarded, i go in a 4 point stance, i fire out faster than him, ur suppose to keep ur butt up in the air so all ur wieght is foward, then all u gotta do now is move ur hands keep ur knees bent and head up, i was a O-lineman, i got on D-line by teaching myself this

[Apachewarrior06]

Nice stance I'd cake you

[luissalas9814]

this coach probably lost ALOT of games!

[XxXSLASHsk8trXxX]

Keep.ur eye on tue guard he.will lead you to the ball

[MonstahGaming]

LMAO we got him trained well..? The ball wasn't on the fucking ground and that kid looks like he's thinking "Why the hell am I here..?"

[XxXBigWapumxXx]

hahaha stand strait up like that in a game

[BigBtop]

thats a bad stance

[StevenVids98]

his reaction time during the hut is too slow i play football for my high school and my nickname is Ray Lewis JR from the ravens .......... they have the worst facemask in the world

[ruizalex488]

Y'all suck

[mart1able]

his stance is horrible...he needs to "train" his player a little bit more there

[joesnoe23]

AND THE NEXT GAME HE GOT A BROKEN COLLARBONE

[MrNYYankees123]

Wow this is terrible. Get a guy who can keep his head up, stay low and actually play

[dfensiveend3]

no no no no noooooo u do not look directly at the ball when in ur stance! use your peripheral vision to see the ball but always lookat the guy in front of you. if u look directly at the ball thatsjust more time wasted to have to turn ur head back around and see where the offensive lineman is and he will already have a second or two on you

[Alfista28021985]

this coach ever play football??? wtf....looks some shit.....greetz from Austria....not Australia, not Germany....AUSTRIA :-D

[andreklay]

his shoulders arnt even parallel to the ground

[twitter1995]

that nigga sucks

[iwrote]

idk whos worse this guy trying to coach or the player trying to be a defensive tackle...

[imanubn00b]

thats an o lineman hes too tall cant even get out of his stance with his knees bent, he stood up

[kfcchickengood]

that fool is skinny, looks like the size of my tailback

[dillonmcannnell]

intnece

[kasteraiph]

do u guys have tight end videos? i cant find any

[stereoman418]

Why does he get so high when he the ball gets snapped the number one rule for playing defensive line is stay low

[GuitarVillian1]

hey guys im 13 y.o bout 270 or higher and i play dt i can fire off good but u can never seem to bring my hands any tips (p.s im bout to go into my first year at high school)

[Brendon411Beast]

lol look at his feet

looks like the scrub that quit b4 summer ended xD

[l33tfights]

he stood up almost completely this kid sucks balls

[Mr5um41]

lol, i love how he slips the first time he tries to fire off.

[ChubbieMidget]

he went straight up after he snapped the ball

[youngres12]

this guy definitely has been coaching the jets, no wonder they suck. when you fire out of your stance, you're not supposed to stand straight up, you're only supposed to go up a few inches, that way, you can hit the o line harder, like my coach always tells me, the lower man always wins.

[Mr5um41]

@youngres12 Their offense sucks, not their defense. So if he's been coaching the jets defensive linemen he's been doing a good job.

[wowisuckatmath]

BULL RUSH FTW.

[coltsking102]

if he goes up that high he'll get cracked

[wip3myAZZ]

u gotta be shitting me. if i stood that high up outa my stance standing that high id get cracked every play! this coach is a retard!!! btw this linemans stance sucks too....

[brii0418]

that kids stance was coo but his head was down good job tho

[DAV1EBOYEE510]

@brii0418 u thought that wuz a good stance??...u cant be serious??

[shadow10515]

the only thing he did good was watching the ball wich is important in its own way

[DAV1EBOYEE510]

that s the ugliest 3 point stance ive ever seen....expertvillage....yeah rite more like dumbfuckcity

[Mazz1420]

@DAV1EBOYEE510 looks like a shity 2 point

[DAV1EBOYEE510]

@Mazz1420 well its still considered a 3 point since his hand is down....but damn that stance is ugly....real fucking ugly...holy shit....

[Louis15934]

lmao no off hand? thumbs up? slow? didnt stay low? kinda sad..

[fUeY03]

Whats with the subtitles . ???

[zolthar666]

Are u kidding loll ?

[powerXhawk4754]

horrible stance, stood straight up, kid woulda gotten blown off the ball

[revshadows7]

the title should be "How to suck at defensive tackle"

[gtownknights]

thats a horrible stance

[mwmyers14]

his back should be straight not sloped or angled

[lacrossefootballman]

he has a terrible stance

[SilenceAllTheWicked]

that's the biggest defensive tackle I've ever seen for a kid that age...he's only 5 yrs old

[KingBud408]

hes just a bad coach...

[rutz53]

i would blow this guy up!! his ass would be on the sideline hurt if i gota hold of him!

[Omega1079]

i have a neckroll and i can still look up. this dumbass doesnt even know where hes going.

[slashrulesslither]

How old are these kids?? there all too small and his stance is terrible

[xxdirtbikeryderxx]

I get in a 4 point stance and im 260 5'11 and pretty chub if i can do that this lazy prick can do better

[ap3234]

next year im going to be a freshman in highschool and im going to play football for the first time. im 6'4 without shoes on and i weigh 250. im not fat im pretty bulky and i lift weights 2-3 times a week. What position would i play?

[MrFlame69]

@ap3234 kicker

[xxdirtbikeryderxx]

@ap3234 dont listen to that idiot you could be a linebacker, or a defensive linemen

[JerryxxXXxxJSxxXXxx]

@ap3234 Well because your so tall, it would be cool if your were WR. You will probably have a height advantage and because your bulky you should be able to break some tackles. But...you will probably be on the line maybe a DB. Watever position you get you'll probably do pretty good. I would say maybe QB but apparently your not the coaches son.

[og23king]

@ap3234 defffinately linebacker

[joshua97ify]

im playin DT for my school football team

[MrFlame69]

@joshua97ify mee too and l.guard

[BiggDaddyCole]

If your like me you watch to see how bad the players are. I mean he's an ok couch but the guys doing the drill suck. And im with stephanvisa187 if you know so much dont watch, and if your like me dont say anything

[Himynameisricardo]

you're not supposed to look at the ball... you're supposed to be looking at your o lineman and look at the ball from the corner of your eye

[stephanvisa187]

Its funny how you guys are looking at this video,YET claiming yall know sooo much shit....dumbasses

[Himynameisricardo]

and you DO have to have flat feet in your stance

and his 3 point sucks

you dont want too much weight on your hands

[blazinpyromaniac]

@Himynameisricardo who taught u that u need flat feet for your stance?

[Himynameisricardo]

@blazinpyromaniac nah sorry my bad but i meant to say that you dont have to put too much weight on your feet or your hands

[Himynameisricardo]

ya that 6 inch step was more life a 2 foot step

[jharms1994]

ARE YOU STUPID!!! you don't want your butt down you want your back level other wise you stand-up causing you to get pushed back

[Guitars165]

THIRD OF ALL and i seriously dont get this, when he snapped the ball, but got up WAAAAAYYY too high

when the center snaps the ball, you should only be getting 2 to 3 inches up from your stance

STAY LOW

no matter what the o liner's size is, as long as you stay low, you'll beat him

if you get up SUPER high like THIS retard, the o liner's gonna crack the shit out of you

[MrFlame69]

@Guitars165 well said!

[TheIrishmauler]

@Guitars165 ur exactly right i was gonna post same thing but u did it for me thumbs up, and another thing he didnt use was his hands of mass destruction, defensive lineman gotta use them hands!!!

[og23king]

@Guitars165 exactly that is what i said to when i watched it i am a DT and the number one thing in football is the lowest man wins in the game of football

[hanhunter2556]

@Guitars165 ya i play o-line and if i see someone standing up im gonna light them up

[paranoidude]

@Guitars165 Plus it makes you vulnerable and look like a jackass to boot XD

[RHCP723]

@Guitars165 I agree he was too high, but you can not beat any offensive lineman just by staying low. The reality is sometimes you're just outmatched in power and need to find another way to beat them. i don't care how good you're form is, a 150lb dt will not beat a 300lb guard with his strength. speed, however, could be used to your advantage.

[BRin722]

@Guitars165 lmao, i read this comment before i watched it and i was like "come one...how bad can he be" just...wow.

[DohcterT]

@Guitars165 plus id like to add that his eyes are in the dirt... ill let you know now that when i see this (being an offensive gaurd for 10 years) ill make him go exactly where is eyes are lookin...you wanna look down thats ok...stay there...

[wowisuckatmath]

@DohcterT i play DT and NT, is there anything specific that guards have a trouble blocking?

[frEAkofNatre]

@wowisuckatmath Swim moves do not work. Go with a strong bull rush or a quick rip move. Also practice and try to learn a spin move, but only use those a couple times a game. Also during the game you'll have to strategize. After a few plays you should know the strengths and weaknesses o-linemen your up against. Just keep switching up which move you use, and most importantly read and react to the play.

[frEAkofNatre]

@wowisuckatmath Oh one more thing i forgot to mention is to keep the O-linemens hands off you. If his hands get inside and lock onto your chest, he can do what ever he wants with you. So also prepare a way to get his hands off you if he does get inside.

[ariespears]

@Guitars165 yeah look at his knees too the right knee is not properly planted it should be perfectly straightened up at the heel

[Guitars165]

this guys teaching the wrong things... no wonder that guy sucks

first of all, you have to watch the ball out of the corner of your eye, but you should be staring at the o liner in front of you (depending if your in a 1 or 3 gap)

second of all he was putting WAY to much weight on his hands

and THIRD OF ALL ( look around for my other comment cuz this one went over the limit of words)

[Guitars165]

that guy's putting too much weight on his hands...

i prefer a four point stance

you should be able to clap in your stance to see if youre putting enough weight on your feet and hands

[conoris15]

his stance sucks, hes off balance he should be leaning more foreward ccause you dont go back as a lineman.

[bballkp27]

i will be a freshmen in highschool next year im 6'2-6'3 and weigh 220 ive never played football before due to weigh limits. ive been lifing since the summer and i have decent speed. would i be on the d-line?

[yellowsrat182]

if your that tall youd most likely be a defensive end not a tackle

[Guitars165]

@bballkp27 hmmmm... well it all depends on your strength and speed i mean im 5'8 and weight 180 and im a defensive tackle

but im working on my speed cause i wanna play linebacker JV year

but if youre that tall, you should play DEFENSIVE END

..but practice ALOT if you wanna be 1st string cause DE have to be FAST...

[UDieBeforeMyDishonor]

also instead of watching the ball i watch the offensive lineman infront of me, when he twitches im shooting off to make sure i get a good jump

[Guitars165]

@UDieBeforeMyDishonor youre supposed to see the ball out of the corner of your eye

[UDieBeforeMyDishonor]

im 6'0" 275 pounds and im 16 almost 17... i find it REAL easy to bull rush and than swim over a o-lineman, or my favorite is when the A gap is my responsibility to go B gab and hit a quick spin back to the A than BAM full out rush on QB

[denden1592]

Depends how fast you do it i guess , idk . i dont try nothing fancy im just blessed with quickness and strength i just imidiately swim and keep my feet moving and im through .

[AndReMaNni]

he didnt come out with his hands (you claim he did)

his three point stand suckshis right foot is off?!

i could lay him out easily

[JAWZ15]

what i find is the best is say im lined up in a 3 tech

i feel which way the lineman is trying to drive me then i rip under him and then bam your in the gap ready to make the tackle, 9 times out of 10 the o lineman will drive you away from the ball

stay low

play hard

be smart

and anything will work for you

[BrewMeUpSomeBrunino]

I'm 4"11 360 pounds and I'm 10

[39935]

horrible.

[Jthaslaya10]

i like keeping my hand out so that when i release its already there. It also helps with swimming, punching, and ripping.

[kfcchickengood]

jumped straight up.

lol.

[Sachems49]

the player SUCKS BIG HAIRY PENIS

[superjeff14]

does it really? because i was trying to watch his videos for help but as i did i kept thinking to myself, "these guys dont seem very good..."

[Sachems49]

the player looks like hes 8 years old

[mattpa13]

i agree with thepro895 i put my hand all the way back arm up and shoot it forward for more force

[abcjohnlock1993]

u get low, butt up and flat back that's all u need to do. btw he was standing straight up

[ThePro895]

take ur hand off ur hip lol and if u want to go off liek that do it low or ur done lol

[tygaman3000]

hyracatherium is right. My coach always tells me to keep your head up. Use your arms, and take quick choppy steps. And remember, the first person to get the third step in wins the battle at the line of scrimmage.

[hyracatherium]

Wow, um, definatly should not be forward that much, O line men will just push you down, most of you weight should be on your legs, thats where the power comes from, and that guy being that far forward can only go forward, if the guy goes the other way hes screwed

[remix924]

im 14 and im on jv starting defence as a DT,weight 204, height 5,8

[andregomesnf]

Ur heavy! dang

[ACEOFSPADES97]

dude your a dick

[andregomesnf]

I thought that it was a good thing to be heavy when you play lineman. lol, but it's okay if you think that i'm a dick

[wart147]

ya good for O line fat ass

[andregomesnf]

Watch the way you talk to me bitch! I don't even know me!

[wart147]

fat ass lol

[sum182wrestling]

Haha, we're almost twins dude.

6'0", 200 dead and 13.

[jjxjetplane]

5'11, 210 and 13 ha

[Sachems49]

huh kinda big im 6'2 220 and 14

[Jesus98245]

I'm pretty sure that youre supposed to keep your butt high and put your weight on your hand. The kid in the video practically stood straight up after he fired off too...thats definitely never gonna work. lol

[ndeezy3440]

im 15 on Jv starting Defensive end and play D tack;e im only 5'5 140 u just got b a beast and cause havok

[MrJakieboyaction]

you must be very strong

[bashinkemp]

all will hit both of them

[lennyistheshit]

Oh my god this guy is a fagit .He dosent no jack shit about football except how to grab the players asses ok. everybody that agreas with me rate this coment good

[cl312]

You dont have to be strong to be a defensove lineman i am 180 pounds nose tackle and i play and start on varsity all i do is have my shoulder pad level low and thats it

[RenderMan50]

some teams have success with smaller and faster nose tackles because they can get in the backfield quickly. but strength helps at every position.

[Fike75]

Wow, his stance is terrible plus he isnt resting his free elbow on his knee and letting it hang.

[8INBY]

agreed. his stance is so bad.

[Prentman70]

wow maybe im wrong but I thought u needed a high butt and a heavy hand and stay low and move your feet.

[C4CMLo14]

ha. he stood straight up. and he has to get the feet moving

[rid3r28]

lol

wtf

this guy is stupid

[Ivann730]

I hate this guy, half the time he just talks bullshit... How can he say that it's a proper way to fire off when dude is standing straight up after two steps?

[rid3r28]

i agree

[NavykidX]

:/

Thats a horrible d-line.

[2TallJones62]

Yea proper way to fire off as a DT if you wana get the shit knocked out of ya.

[tmcfootball96]

i agreed

[StickDragon1]

its all about beating the slow lineman off the ball. and using your arsenal of rips,spins,power. and smarts.

[AlbieGfromMyspace]

and i thought i was the only one who is undersized for a D Lineman haha

[fujimofo]

im 6'5'' and 265. i just slow

[2TallJones62]

at like 1:18 or so he flinched and he said they have him trained well???

[jakelagrou]

i know they're so stupid and what do learn from that's stuff fourth graders know

[123456789ppp1]

the player is lookin at the ground because the stance is so horrible

[kippnigga]

it actually suppose to be dwn not really high and that is like an extra power boost becuz if ur azz is up u can easily lose ur balence

[LoganCart]

our coaches say asses up like a running stance is it suppose to be down or up please explain why

[chrisspartans]

my coach say the same thing... that coach doesnt know what he talkin bout

[Jamezy316]

LOL i have to be honest me being a DT and DE makes me laugh at this kid, his stance is horrible every well respect and good DT know you will have a foot more up infront so when the ball movies you fire off, unless you in four point then two legs equal, but this kids stance is like an OL stance just leaned forward a little

[jakelagrou]

if one foot is forward it makes you won't be able to go in right and left it makes it pretty obvious which side you plan to attack an offensive lineman on

[Burghlax]

uhh oh i wouldent wanna go againts these guyse no way....... hahahaha what a joke

[godofgames79]

that guy sux ballz

[PowerRun42]

I think its pop warner or Middle school football

[BigsexyButters]

that stance is horrible he lost balance a little going against noone

[AznXclusiv]

1. your butt isnt supposed to be down. its supposed to be a little bit higher than your head.

2. your supposed to look up. so you see where your going!

THAT COACH IS STUPID!!

[caramalcream]

first hes weight is not on his hand his toes suppose to point forard

[caramalcream]

hes stance is ugly please ur a terrible coach just top

[wrestlemaniac84]

so if ur d- line u can go on hut? i dunno im from australia lol. and u say head up is better, weight low, both understandable, what else?

[domco2525]

A defensive player doesn't initiate the play-he waits for the offense to snap the ball before he begins his assignment for that play. The offense might decide to snap the ball on the first sound, the first hut, the 2nd hut, the third, etc. Sometimes they use a silent snap. A defender who jumps into the neutral zone before the snap is penalized unless he can get back on sides before the snap. And a defender who contacts an offensive player before the ball is snapped is penalized.

[BIGMIKE14213]

LOL no you go when the ball is snapped

[forrest666sauer]

worst ive ever seen

u dont stand up

u stay low and knock those fuckin o line fatties on der ass

i play dt

im 14

and 5 11, 200

and i bet he has 0 sacks an mbaye 1 tackle

[23Sb77]

your pretty skinny for a DT

[forrest666sauer]

its all about the speed

[Jamezy316]

WTF DT's are all strength and speed, this kid could be an offensive linemen no D linemen

[23Sb77]

im not saying its always a bad thing our starting nose gaurd is like 18 weighs180-200, and is faster than crap. He almost set a school record for sacks in a season, but he is crazy quick off the line.

[done2010]

lol

[toptrixer00]

1.helmet down

2.stance could get better

3. to high of ball

[tonioakaflash]

how can it be false start on a d tackle???

think u idiot...he is on defense hes playing d-line not o-line

[Haidoor1987]

He probably means offside.

[dannyd269]

omg! these kids suck why would u embarass these poor kids with this vid. Id run fuckin circals around these kids and there slow as fuck! there stances suck they look sloppy and there coach is a moron too. all around terrible video
