Had a great convo w/ a buddy this morning about Boxing or Spilling your DE's in an Even Front. Reminded me of a great clinic that Greg Mattison did in 2016 about the "Pup Dent" technique. Love this philosophy..."Change the math"

Good coaching points here on Gap Entry from ND DC Clark Lea. He teaches his ILB's to "Rip and Pry" when entering an open window. -Near leg steps through blocker w/ hips square -Torso Twist w/ a rip to eliminate blocking surface. -Be square, climb through w/ blocker on your back

I’m jealous of these HS coaches that get “spring practice” with their kids in April-May. What’s your excuse @michiganhsfca ? Would be really easy to fit 10, non-padded, late afternoon practices around spring sports. Inexpensive way to improve the quality of ball in Michigan.
