7on7 Defense Lives On FirstDown PlayBook

Celebrating 15 Years Of FirstDown PlayBook

Defensive players and coaches are used to it but the offense usually gets more attention in football. When it comes to 7on7 you can put that on steroids. How much attention do you see given to the 7on7 DB’s? Not as much as the rising star QB’s and receivers. Not even close.

Here at FirstDown PlayBook we understand just how wrong that is. Great defensive coverage can make life miserable for an offensive coordinator. It all starts with being coordinated and adjusting correctly to offensive formations, shifts and motions.

This is why FirstDown PlayBook is committed to helping both sides of the ball when it comes to 7on7. This help comes in several ways for our 7on7 defensive football coaches. The first, obvious way is we offer you multiple coverages vs 27 offensive formations. You can flip these coverages from strong right to strong left. You can edit these coverages to fit your team or fit your scheme.

The second way we add tremendous value to a 7on7 defensive football coach is by allowing you to flip our passing plays vertically as well as horizontally. See an offensive play that you like or need to defend? Well, you can use the base play for your scout team but it doesn’t stop there.

You can also flip that play around to teach your defense. Any defensive back coach can tell you that is a valuable tool. Defensive players should be taught and coached from their perspective, not the offense’s. Your 7on7 DB’s don’t see the game from the quarterback’s eyes. They see it from theirs.
