RushBlitzDrop to coverage
14U — Introduce: Line up right and own your gap — win with alignment, pad level, and pursuit to the ball. Add get-off and block destruction so the front controls the line of scrimmage. Layer in the called blitz — one timed gap-shooter on the snap. Teach the coverage drops behind the front and read run vs. pass. Combine front, pressure, and coverage — and disguise it pre-snap.

How to teach it
- 1Six down linemen fire low into every gap while two backers scrape over the top to plug cutbacks.
- 2Every interior gap is covered by a down lineman to deny inside runs inside the five.
- 3Fire low and win the surge; the backers clean up anything that squirts through.
Common mistakes to fix
- !Linemen coming up high and getting driven back; fix by firing low with a flat back.
- !Backers filling too fast and getting cut back on; fix by scraping over the top and staying square.
