Hi, I'm Billy Kidd, I'm here at Expert Village and we're going to talk about the five-three defense. A double reduction there now it allows you to run all kinds of stunts with these guys and games. You can do three person stunts. It doesn't have to be a two man stunt. You can take these guys and you can slit them hard here, here, loop this guy all the way around. So you've got the A gap, A gap and he's coming all the way to the front side of the backside of the B gap to however you determine that strength. Again, the worst thing that you can do as a defensive line or as a defense is stand there and let people hit you directly straight on. You don't want to give them your full body. You want to make sure that if you're getting blocked that all they have is a piece of you to block and because you're moving so fast that you've got to get their shoulders turned and out of place where their not moving up the field to get movement to allow the ball to be moved forward.
