The Modern 46

This book takes Buddy Ryan's record breaking 46 Defense, and adapts it to defend today's Offenses. It is designed with High School Coaches in mind, who have constraints in their time with the players, and time spent coaching. The book breaks down position by position reads, reaction, techniques and assignments. You will learn the intricacies of Buddy's "Swipe" Coverage concepts that allowed him to keep multiple players dedicated to stopping the run, while still being in a sound pass coverage. The coverage assignments are also diagrammed vs. today's passing concepts. The Over and 46 Concept "Hawk" Fronts are discussed and diagrammed vs. today's Spread Offense run plays, showing reads and fits for the force unit. This book also teaches you how to simplify the scheme, so that the reads, reactions and techniques work from front to front, and coverage to coverage. Foreword by Mike Singletary. Read more
