Defending Mobile Quarterbacks with the “Cage” Concept:The defensive staff at Alfred University (NY) embraces the challenge of being a relentless pass-rushing team, accumulating 113 sacks in 4 seasons. But defending mobile quarterbacks can present a challenge to any defensive front. Which is why defensive line coach Holden Whitehead implements what he calls a “Cage” rush concept from four-down, five-down and six-down fronts. All pass rushers are given a low cage or high cage responsibility when rushing the quarterback. In an exclusive clinic report with X&O Labs, Coach Whitehead details the coaching points, both in stagnant and pressure fronts, that produced 27 sacks this past season.
