Aaron Brady, Assistant Coach at Ursinus College, shows some of his defensive line stunts, which create instant chaos, penetrate offensive lines, and confuse the Offensive line using his pinch and angle stunts.
His entire 3-4 Okie Attack Defense System is only available on Glazier Drive. Stunts in the 3-4 Okie Attack Defense System is one of the 29 lessons and is the source for this video excerpt.
The video is a detailed coaching breakdown of defensive line stunts in a 3-4 defensive formation, focusing on two primary techniques: "Pinch" and "Angle" stunts. In the Pinch stunt, the nose guard two-gaps the center, creating confusion by breaking typical lateral movement patterns, while the defensive end and nose tackle laterally move to attack the B-gap. The coach emphasizes proper technique, including getting low, using hands for separation, and maintaining gap integrity.
The Angle stunt (called "Okie") involves moving away from the strength of the formation, with defensive linemen adjusting their gaps and linebackers repositioning accordingly. The coach demonstrates various video examples, critiquing player techniques and explaining how each player's movement impacts the overall defensive strategy. Key coaching points include maintaining proper leverage, understanding gap responsibilities, and creating disruption for the offensive line.
Throughout the video, the coach underscores the importance of defensive linemen working together, staying in their assigned gaps, and creating opportunities for linebackers to make plays. The overall goal is to create chaos, penetration, and confusion for the offensive team through strategic, coordinated line movement.
