- Do what fits your personality in regards to team motivation
- Biggest Belief: what are we going to do today to out prepare the opposition
- Dont worry about past success, and dont worry about how good or bad your suppose to be, just
do what you do and let the rest happen
1. No Stars (your nothing without your team/staff); no one knows who the man is on our
team
- Not looking for the star, but who fits our puzzle
- * * * hold everyone including coaches to same standard as players, would you let a player react
the way you do on the sidelines ? ***
2. Accountability
- When a player makes a mistake, but takes responsibility for actions and is concerned about hisstatus with the program, that is a good sign
3. Challenge them everyday
- Challenge them mentally, socially, and physically
- Challenge them in the weight room, in meetings, in the film room, and in practice
- What are you doing to prepare yourselves better than everyone else ?
- Community Service : teach kids that life could be worse and that helping others makes yourself abetter person. Changes perspective of life for the better. Takes a day off of practice during two-a-
days for all players on team to go out and do 10 hours of community service.

- for example: a military or a common family
- a common bond among the players to accomplish a common goal
- know when to let up and build them up
- how hard will you make them work to accomplish THEIR goal ?
5. Sacrifice- through summer workouts
- What are you willing to give up to be where you want to be ?
- What are you giving up that a kid from another school isnt to be successful ?
- If you want to be different, you cant just talk different, you have to be different
6. We and ours, not me and my
- Does EVERYONE buy into the team concept ?
- You can write the book for the class, but you have to teach the students how to pass
- How much unity is there when there is adversity ?
7. Leaders are made, not born
- Human beings are self centered by nature
- Teach them to be leaders, put the thought in their heads early
- Teach them to be leaders in bad times
- Teach them there is a difference between successful and cool
8. Develop Relationships
- The way we treat them off the field is why they deal with your treatment on the field
9. Process over Product
- Do the right process and the product will take care if themselves
- If you do things right, you will never be disappointed

5/21
Grand Rapids Mega Clinic February 21st- 23rd 2008
- Point of contact: grab cloth under breast plates and board-walk
- Progression: lateral step- close gap then gain ground
- * better for slow off the ball lineman
- All steps and techniques are based on timing of the play
- duck walk demeanor drill every day, work front-backwards-and side ways
Dropback Pass Technique*
- Keep inside foot forward and in front of DL
- Outside foot: kickstep foot
- Keep space in between your feet at all times
- Post leg (inside leg) is always a little stiffer and stronger
- Post foot is always pointing at line of scrimmage when kick-sliding
- Tilt towards inside SLIGHTLY to keep balanced center of gravity
- Pass Pro Punch: up and under breast plate
- Center being beat by noseguard: as snapping, kick foot back (foot based on shade, if head up,
kick back dominant foot), snapping hand goes in starting lawn-mower like motion and punches
into gut of defender

Joe Cullen- Defensive Line Coach for Detroit Lions
Important Equation when determining how much time you should spend on
pass rush techniques:
- # of Defensive Lineman on Play X # of Pass Attempts = # of times you are
able to hit the Quarterback
Trample the run on the way to the ball
- Dont look high
- Pad level of the O.L. is the stimulus
- As you are getting up field: constrict running lanes
- Goal: 1st down tackles for loss
Run Rules:
Vs. Double Team: once you feel man peel off to 2nd level, snap head back into
gap
Vs. Reach Blocks: lockout with arm to reach side and push up field
Vs. Zone: jam up blocker and snap head into gap
- If you feel push down by blocker, stop moving and snap head into gap
Play the defense called
- Dont guess
- Know your assignments
Stopping the run on the way to the QB
