Build a dominant defensive line that can stop the run, control gaps, and create constant pressure on the quarterback.

In this course, Coach Richard Johnson shares a complete system for teaching defensive line fundamentals, including stance, get-off, hand placement, block destruction, and pursuit, along with proven drills you can immediately use in practice.

You’ll also learn how to defeat reach blocks, double teams, and pulling linemen, install effective defensive line movement (Rip/Liz concepts), and develop a pass rush system that helps your players win one-on-one and disrupt offenses. This course gives you a clear, step-by-step approach to building fast, physical, and disciplined defensive linemen who can control the line of scrimmage and make plays on game day.

If you want your defensive line to play aggressive, execute with confidence, and impact every snap, this course gives you the blueprint.
