If your defensive run fits look good on paper but break down on Friday night, the problem usually isn’t talent — it’s the install.
GET THE 34 FIT & SWARM DEFENSIVE OVERVIEW BOOK:
In this episode of the Coaching 101 Podcast, Daniel Chamberlain and Kenny Simpson break down how to install defensive run fits without overloading your players. They walk through simple, consistent rules like inside hip vs outside hip, why two-on-one tackling solves more problems than another wristband call, and how to build language that handles option, RPOs, boot, and formations without constant if/then checks.
The big idea: defensive breakdowns come from complexity and hesitation. Teach the structure first (spill, force, alley), use pods and drills to rep fits until they’re automatic, and keep fits stable across fronts, blitzes, and formations. If your players are thinking, they’re late.
Tom Landry said it best: “Being aggressive doesn’t mean being undisciplined.” That’s the whole episode in one quote.
