Big Time Question. "how Do You Shut Down These Receivers"

[mantaraydre]

ALL COACHES ACCROSS THE LAND, PLEASE RESPOND IN DETAIL.


I've been around town the past couple of years and watched many games at various events, i noticed one thing, not many cant shut down receivers.
many times this tug of war at the line of scrim does not work because the receivers slip free 90% of the time. Don hudson of the dfw showed myself and kevin boddie a great philosophy in running with the receiver. he is right, in a tug of war at the line of scrimmage the receiver slips free and the db runs out of the play. If you run with the receiver at least theres a chance the db can make a play if the qb is able to hit the pass.

You must play an honest defense with help in the area of the play. The great reg rutledge has the best shut down corners due to his extensive studying on that paticular figures capabilities. Reg studies the push balances to throw the receiver off track. Not all of us have that so it is difficult to stop these guy's "ESPECIALLY WR'S ON BOAT BASES". I tried to double them from the sides but they still manage to slip free.

SO HERE IS THE QUESTION, Every coach has there own philosophy on this matter so what is yours ? Reg is the king of the shutdown, Don hudson and anthony burgess are the kings of how to react to the pass.

PLEASE HELP MYSELF AND OTHERS ON HOW TO TIE THIS ALL IN TO CREATE A BETTER DEFENSE .

1) DOES A COVER 1,2,3 WORK
2)DOES ANYBODY ZONE
3)DO YOU DROP YOUR LINEBACKERS TO COVER THE MIDDLE
