TEAMDEFENSE 105<br />
This is a common adjuBtment made by Eagle<br />
teams, <strong>and</strong> puts us into a 40 defense, which is a<br />
completely difTercnt part ofour package (see Figure<br />
4).<br />

With this basic adjustment, we have the flexibility<br />
to use pro-style lin€ stunts, which have<br />
be€n effective for us from tim€ to time. This co'r<br />
bination of packages has been effective, but ot'<br />
fensive motions <strong>and</strong> shift.s can still lock us into<br />
one look or anothex To comp€te against sophisticated<br />
audibl€ syst€ms, we felt we needed to find<br />
a way to keep the chalk in orr h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
Our check system has kept us from being predictable<br />
by alignment <strong>and</strong> it combats tight end<br />
flip <strong>and</strong> zee motion (see Figures 5 <strong>and</strong> 6).<br />
The addition of the check sFtem to our package<br />
has been very beneficial. It has enabled our<br />
secondary t play nearly any coverage venus any<br />
formation. We'll change the coverage checks<br />

free play, we nol{ drill the €ntire delense for 25 to<br />
30 minutes per week on formation recognition<br />
only. We alBo incorporate this same concept when<br />
we're working or pumuit drills.<br />
Our coaches work exceptionally hard at teaching<br />
our athletes our package, the fundamentals,<br />
<strong>and</strong> their tecbniques. This has allowed our defensive<br />
playeD to perform with much confdence,<br />
high efrciency, <strong>and</strong> great puruuit within our team<br />
