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:
- The Wolverine technique that reads the offensive lineman's movement after the snap so you can generate a guided blitz that's nearly impossible to design a protection scheme around — because the path isn't predetermined.
- The Jungle call's Gorilla/Zebra read system so your players can identify gap scheme runs vs. zone scheme runs on the field (and you don't have to make a perfect call every time)
- A plus-one backer built into every pressure so you always have an unblocked cleanup player tracking the ball carrier in the box, turning good knockback into tackles for loss.
- And more!
