Youth FootBall ChalkTalk #4: 5-3 Defense

[@mauricepayne9847]

How would you run a 5-5-1 defense against the offense?

[@KevinGuse]

Any suggestion or preference on using a 5-3 or 4-4 defense vs a pistol offense? (8th graders)

[@FirstDownPlayBook]

No preference. Just take away the run and make that 8th grade quarterback prove he can beat you with his arm. Youth coaches running a spread offense want you to spread out with them. Don't.

Thank you. And thanks for the incredible resources you guys provide. With the increase in competitive flag leagues we are seeing the passing skills of young quarterbacks drastically improving at a younger age.
