Kenneth Gilstrap, Defensive Backs Coach, at UAB, believes that the jam in press coverage is over-coached and that the cut-off technique is under-coached in the leverage phase. His philosophy is that the leverage phase of press coverage should be worked the most.
The video that is included in this article shows his philosophy and teaching methodology for press coverage. He outlines how his beliefs translate to practice and how they cover in games with lectures, practice film, and game video.
His 50-minute presentation on Drills to Develop the Complete DB can be viewed on Glazier Drive.
