Man, there’s some much technicalities to pass rushing it’s fascinating to watch/breakdown. It’s crazy how there’s combos & counters within a primary move. So much detail in each specific move and why it’s done that way. This is football right here.

As someone who is still learning how to play defensive line this video is more helpful than a lot of resources out there and really breaks things down the more dline stuff the better I'm subbing

Man this is amazing, someone already said this but videos like this for other positions would be sick. Great content!

Fantastic video! Nice change from the player breakdows which are awesome too!

Wow, halfway through and this is already one of the best and informative videos I've seen. Keep up the great work would love to see this become a series of pickup apart all the skill sets of different positions.

This was amazingly structured, clear, concise, thorough. I had very little and erratic knowledge of pass rush technique, but now feel like I can much better see the intentional plans these guys put together.

Great video, I love how you showed so many pass rushers as examples. I think people today forgot how dominant prime Von Miller was! We see 34 year old Von with injuries playing today, he’s not at the same level… but man back in the day he just was beating tackles silly.

Great video! Keep up the grind brother 💪

Shout out to James Houston! That man had 8 sacks in 7 games as a rookie pass rush specialist last year. Lions defensive line will be a nightmare to deal with in 2023

I like your videos a lot. I appreciate when you rewind the film and explain defense. My mind is slow sometimes. Thanks for the work

Terrific video. It would be like doing a best WRs leaving off Lamb or an RB one and leave off McCaffery and feature Kyren Williams and Tony Pollard instead.
