Quarterbacking with Jim Miller

50_lions-gamer
A collection of quarterback fundamentals with Jim Miller, the grittiest of the gritty.  Grab your pain meds and enjoy these drills from the Michigan State staff and Chicago’s John Shoop.



For the best quarterback instruction, it begins and ends with Darin Slack C4 Method.


Defensive Line (2001 Chicago Bears)


A little blast from the past here - the dynamic pairing of Keith Traylor (3 tech) and Ted Washington (1 tech) at Chicago.

While I'm not a big advocate of employing two bulky monsters inside (to essentially control B-to_B gap with just 2 defenders) simply because of the scarcity of athlete (not practical), this pairing was phenomenal in controlling the line of scrimmage. The following clips will illustrate how these guys were so successful in being disruptive in the run game; fundamental technique against various blocks.

If time permits, I'll add an addendum including clips of the 2000 Ravens with Sam Adams and Tony Siragusa.

Shufflin' on down.......

A blast from the past and continuing on a vamp from earlier this year, here is some quick footage of the 46 bear in action (SBXX)

The gist of the earlier tangent about the 46 and the evolution from the 8-man fronts, was not some sudden meteor shower that drove the 46 into extinction. Notice the offensive formations that New England presents here. They were the same fronts everyone was using at that time and no one dared (saved the Dan Marino-led Dolphins of the era....and we know how that turned out) challenge this type of defense any other way.

The "natural selection" of removing a back from the backfield and/or flexing the Y, forced defenses to adapt and evolve to the 2-high looks that dominated the 90's (and today).

46 Bear Defense

For you limbic-brained, neanderthals out there, I bring you face-melting clips of the 46 in action during the 1985 Super Bowl (all 1st half clips)

Though not a real big fan of this 8 man front, when I get a minute, I'll likely do a future write-up on this....

As lagniappe, this goes over how we would get into double-eagle bear from our 42 Nickel;
