With all of the formation and motion changes in today's high school football, coaches need a system that enables the defense to adjust easily. Here's your chance to see new drills and concepts to stifle your opponent's running game using the 4-2-5 defense. You will learn the why and the how for installing Sanders' 4-2-5 defensive philosophy that has led this brand new program from infancy to dominance in the AAAA ranks of Texas high school football."
Drew Sanders delivers a very detail oriented chalk talk on each position and then provides practice video to show 10 individual drills for linebackers, defensive line, and the secondary designed to progressively teach proper fit versus the run.
The 4-2-5 all begins with the linebacker. Sanders discusses how his staff teaches their linebackers how to read three basic types of flow through common terminology and repetitive identification. He shows you the importance of the linebacker and gives you easy to understand ways to teach your linebackers to how to scrape, plug or fill.
Defensive line play in this DVD is focused on teaching reaction to the inside cutoff block with an emphasis on taking on the trap and how to close down with the proper path.
On the secondary level, Coach Sanders teaches defensive fit in four basic scenarios: run to, run away, drop back pass, and sprint out pass. He discusses having a force, alley, and contain player to the onside of any running play along with respective backside responsibilities.
Every drill is drawn on the whiteboard for you and then presented in a video clip.
From this point Sanders discusses and draws proper defensive fit in the 4-2-5 versus the ISO play, C-gap play, and an outside edge play. After every illustration Coach Sanders provides actual game footage to emphasize his instruction giving you an understanding how the fit works against any type of run play you will see.
With this video your defensive fit and swarm will be an intimidating fundamental nightmare for offensive coordinators.

Developing a sound pass defense is a top priority for every coach. With all of the formation and motion changes in today's high school football, coaches need a system that enables the defense to adjust easily.
In this third installment of a 3-part series, Coach Sanders presents a fundamentally sound video about defending the pass with the 4-2-5 defense. He gives you his base coverage, which he calls "Clamp," and teaches you how to build the shutdown secondary you have always wanted.
First Sanders shares his pass philosophy that includes a very helpful concept to categorize formations, as well as pass routes. Categorizing allows the secondary to:
- Play fast and swarm to the ball
- Understand their responsibility with the use of simple rules
- Visualize the four possible route concepts and shut them down with confidence
Sanders' video will also teach you how to categorize four basic pass routes such as In routes, In and Outs, Leverage routes, and Deceptive routes. These categories help your athletes determine how to identify and react properly with two coaching points tied to each one.
Sanders' system will allow your athlete to know when to play with over the top leverage, inside leverage, communicate, and when to make the quarterback hesitate.
Your players will play with extreme confidence being able to adjust to any offensive set they see.
Practice video of the half-line and T-step drills develop the player skills needed for success in the clamp coverage. Coach Sanders then shows you game footage while he discusses the key coaching points for each position.
The clamp coverage is adaptable to any defense you might run. Through reinforcing stance, alignment, keys, and responsibilities, Coach Sanders' defensive secondary package will allow you to simplify your athletes' thought process, and allow them to play with a more physical mentality - taking your defense one step closer to shutting down the passing game.
Here's your chance to see new drills and concepts to stifle your opponent's passing game using the 4-2-5 defense. You will learn the why and the how for installing Sanders' 4-2-5 defensive philosophy that has led this brand new program from infancy to dominance in the AAAA ranks of Texas high school football."
