Clarence Holley, Defensive Coordinator at Shiloh Christian School (AR) and the Creator of the Eat The Captain Defense, has built a scheme that applies such unrelenting pressure on offenses that over half the plays they've defended have gone for zero yards or less!
This system is so disruptive that Coach Holley has won state championships in two different states with totally different groups of kids, including this past season in 2025 with Shiloh Christian!
The Eat the Captain Defense specializes in PRESSURE - and in this series Coach Holley explains how he attacks pass protections and blocking schemes, and lets his players make the final decision on the field!

Topics covered include:
- "Wolverine techniques" that put a single lineman in conflict and attack his reaction so you can get a free hitter in the backfield by exploiting protection gaps the offense didn't know they had
- Zone coverage philosophy paired with high-pressure fronts so you can generate explosive sacks and turnovers on the front end while limiting big plays on the back end — pressure with protection
- Two-edge pressure designs with non-conflicting aiming points for each blitzer so you can run two-edge pressure without the nightmare of your guys running into each other in the backfield
- And more!
