Coaching Points

INDIVIDUAL

- 9 shaping press - make it predictable

- Where does wingback want to force play in the next zone?

- INTERCEPTION: Timing of the pass*** Can WB begin to jump sooner based on cues being read (pressure, position, & aware of pass to depth)

COLLECTIVE

- 9 & 10 - working as pistons/deny pivot

- Shift together as team to condense space & prevent switch & penetration

- Recoveries once 2nd zone is broken - continuation of shifting/shutting the door
