Linebacker Skills and Drills With Jerry Sandusky

Okay, any video which unselfconsciously mentions the phrases "up the middle penetration," "peel off gently," "dive and drill," "man to man technique," "slide butt," "deliver a good blow," or "go for a three on one" is just asking for abuse from this jaded reviewer. There, I've said it, now I'll refrain and I haven't even mentioned all the "flanking the tight end" talk. This video features Jerry Sandusky, the defensive coordinator of Penn St. University's football team instructing the viewer how to become a better linebacker, covering areas such as stance, movement, tackling, playing off blocks, pass defense, and fumble recovery. Aimed at coaches and players alike, the drills are clearly demonstrated for the camera using real Penn St. football players. Part of a video series on defense (including such rather specialized entries as Football's Split 4-4 Defense vs. The Pass) this well done guide is recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (R. Ray)
