Whether you want to play progression, true zone, loose man, press man, this book covers it all. It touches on some theory, teaching techniques, and drills. However, it did not address the three-deep zone adequately. Nor did it really address run support. A lot of time in the book was spent addressing corners, but as far as cornerbacks are concerned, they are either good enough athletes to cover receivers or they aren't. Safeties have far greater responsibilities in 2-deep, 4-deep, and 3-deep coverages and in run support. Most of these coaches give safeties a bit of a cold shoulder. But overall, it's still an excellent reference that I recommend.

This is a collection of clinic articles about the defensive secondary. Many are very useful and can immediately be helpful to your coaching. Some of them seem a bit odd and out of place. A coaches' name can do a lot for him. But I would highly recommend this book as it is invaluable to any Defensive or DB coach. If you are a diehard coach this should be in your library!!! Much better than other books out there (ie AFCA Defensive Strategies where some of the articles are very old).

Useful book for anyone, who is familiar with the experts series.. Contains very useful information and inside tips from the various college defensive backfield coaches. You feel yourself as you are in a clinic when reading this book. Well, all the articles are taken from the coaches clinic records, maybe that's why..

Unfortunatelly, the graphics and schemes are not well-prepared.
