The 46 defense is more of a philosophy than an alignment. More defenses need to attack what the offense is trying to do instead of just reacting to it. "Teams spread you out in 2X2 so they can run the ball." Good stuff. Can't wait for Part 2.
I'm not nor have ever been a coach or player, just a football fan who wants to appreciate the X's and O's on the field. The problem I have with almost all football strategy videos is that they're extremely simplistic ("This is called a linebacker. Can you say line back er?") or are meant for coaches with all sorts of experience jumping headfirst into all types of jargon. I think these videos hit the sweet spot. I don't understand everything he's saying but that's okay. I think I'm learning enough to at least be an educated fan. Nicely done.
I heard Homer Smith (longtime college OC) speak on the 46 in about 1986. He said the first play he would run would be veer option weak. He drew it up. Indeed, the 46 is a man short v that play. (And I ran the weakside option v the 46 for years and it was a very good play for us.) Smith then said, "of course, on second down you need a new QB because that is Richard Dent." Coach Bateman is 100% correct that you get in the 46 to bring pressure.
It was the talent that made this defense. The bears had 3 hall of fame lineman and a couple of them needed double teams. They also had 2 very good safeties.
@@ryanweaver3615yes but a couple of freaky things happened in that game that worked in favor of the fish!! And remember, McMahon didn't play in that game!! Yes, I know it's hindsight, but always curious about how that would've turned out!! 20:51
@yeildo1492 I do disagree with that pertaining to the spill concept. Spilling correctly requires the interior gaps to be accounted for with a force player on both sides. And an alley backside fill. Which can easily be done out of a 2 shell rotating safety covering the blitzing backer or corner or even him being the Blitzer with the lbs staying put. As long as gap integrity is accomplished, the force player is set to either make the play or force a cut back into the gap fillers.
I essentially run the Jayhawk adjustment at the Pop Warner level. I tell everyone it is a 5-2 Okie to make it easier to teach but it really is the Jayhawk adjustment. When you start adding the blitzes it gets really fun to call. I stick with either cover 1 or cover zero depending upon the blitzes.
They'd just blitz sending 9 somtimes and make no account for coverage of backs or te. The good qbs in the 70s could be it but there weren't many and it was definitely a run first league.
@CoachJoeSalas coach Ryan designed the 46 to defend the traditional pro set, or pro I, qb and two running backs, a split-end (x), tight-end (y), and flanker back (z). The 46 puts 6 defenders on the y side. A defense with two tight ends, or a tight slot, or say the flexbone forces the 46 to balance out.
46 defense worked when offenses were more standard in their formations 2 receivers 1 tight end 1 back 1 full back. It doesn't work against spread offenses.
@@CoachJoeSalas You can run it but you can't run it every down and you better disguise it from time to time. You can't run it every down like the Bears 85' did just my opinion or you will get burned. Also teams today all have fast QB's so even if you do get pressure the QB can just run away from it.
Every defense or system works if you believe in it. Of course you have to modify it. The west coast offense still works today , you don’t think Andy Reid has modified it from what Bill Walsh was doing?
would love to see him talk about motion in a 2x2 set, running cover 1. does the motion receiver get passed or does the man cover attempt to follow across the field?

It gets better in part 2 & 3.
"Plays dont beat man... Players do "....love that , putting that in the playbook as a quote
Yep I like that one too. But I have a few please that sure do help 😎

One of the first football books I ever read was by Homer Smith
@@CoachJoeSalas The man could coach! That weakside option vs the 46 was real winner for me.
Great teachings Coach!
Great breakdown
Amazing break down coach 👏🏾
Glad you liked it!

Jimmy’s and Joe’s make a difference
Mongo is going to be the 4th hall of famer on this defense. Also Leslie Frazier and Mike Richardson playing man to man on the outside!
@@ryanweaver3615 see I don’t know about them because the one time they faced an elite passing attack they got picked apart.
Marino rolling out the pocket buying time for those receivers worked to perfection. The one blemish on that all time great defense

I have always been a strong believer in leverage and contain over spill defenses.
And I prefer to spill. Used to having smaller, faster players.....
@@yeildo1492 Coach, do you usually run some type of zone coverage with you secondary behind the spill philosophy.
@@d.k.w4633 Absolutely. If we spill while blitzing, there is nobody to spill to. Box/Set Edge while blitzing. Spill with a zone behind it.

Thanks watching. Would love to have you come on and teach your version.
Great video
Thanks for the visit
What’s the difference between this and Jerry Glandvilles “Gritz Blitz” in the 70”s
They'd just blitz sending 9 somtimes and make no account for coverage of backs or te. The good qbs in the 70s could be it but there weren't many and it was definitely a run first league.
i run a 22/32 side front special, adjust flex, mountain back 1
I like it
I’m almost certain that that’s Bobby Mercer!
Watching this for the 3rd time. Wanting to know now how does he play vs. option/split back veer & Wingt Teams?
I’m still trying to schedule him again. 👍
Against the Wing T for sure
Balanced offenses give the 46 trouble; Balanced offenses make the 46 into the Eagle.
Explain that more Coach
@CoachJoeSalas coach Ryan designed the 46 to defend the traditional pro set, or pro I, qb and two running backs, a split-end (x), tight-end (y), and flanker back (z). The 46 puts 6 defenders on the y side.
A defense with two tight ends, or a tight slot, or say the flexbone forces the 46 to balance out.
Great job explaining this coach. So you guys base out of this? How have you guys fared vs. Wing T or unbalanced single wing offenses? Thanks!
Coach has his own UA-cam channel now. I’ll try and find the link. He is really good 👍
Is there a part 2, if so how can I watch it
Yes part 2 & 3. Just got to my channel
question for you coach when if ever does the buck linebacker pick up a man in coverage?
46 Defense on Facebook. Coach will answer questions there. 👊🏈👍
46 defense worked when offenses were more standard in their formations 2 receivers 1 tight end 1 back 1 full back. It doesn't work against spread offenses.
I disagree. Out numbers a spread team in the box.

Troy Palamaula would have excelled under Buddy Ryan 4-6 Defense as well
Yep
would love to see him talk about motion in a 2x2 set, running cover 1. does the motion receiver get passed or does the man cover attempt to follow across the field?
I think he is coming on soon.
How did Rex Ryan utilized Revis in this ?
Coach has a UA-cam channel and a Facebook page now. Great stuff
FILM📖
New episode with Coach this Thursday and with film.
I need someone to explain the playclock and playclock. Thank s
? Whatca mean
Play clock is the time allowed between plays. From whistle to snap.

If Mark Wahlberg and Danny McBride had a love child and then sent him to the Ryan Family Football academy...
