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!

Part 2 - Rush Front Pressures & Coverages
Topics covered include:
- A six-man rush front that looks identical whether you send two or six so you can force the offense to account for maximum pressure without ever tipping your hand pre-snap.
- The "X" call that knocks the center out of the slide protection so you can put four rushers away from the back and generate a free runner against the most common six-man protection in the game.
- A "rush the launch point" coaching cue so your players always know their aiming point and never stop their feet chasing a moving pocket or a scrambling quarterback.
- And more!
