Defense with DC (Week 14): Fixing Issues, Zero Coverage, Gap Alignment

On this week’s episode of Defense with DC, our DC, Dan Carrel, shares ideas for fixing issues before they become big plays, techniques on zero coverage, and how gap alignment impacts overall defensive performance.

Coach Carrel’s previous coaching experience includes stops at Ohio State, Kentucky, Houston, and UMass. Before getting into the coaching profession, he graduated from West Liberty University, where he played linebacker. Coach Carrel will lead the discussion every week of the season on this defense-focused series of Coach and Coordinator Podcast.
