Make Defense Great Again

S04E03: Outside Linebacker Play in the 3-4 & Sub Packages w/ Bobby April III (Wisconsin)

Listen Later
Season 4, Episode 3 is with Bobby April, OLB coach at Wisconsin. Coach April and I go through all of the run techniques and pass drops required for his position in a "multiple' defense like Wisconsin. His position plays traditional OLB in the 3-4 sets and then moves to DEs in their Nickel package, which requires quite a bit of dropping.
