SEMI-PRO LINEBACKER

Question
QUESTION: Hey Coach Louis, my name is Tevin. I just joined a semi-pro football team and am currently at outside linebacker. I'm about 6'0 and 235 pounds with an athletic physique. I was wondering if you could give me some tips to help me be one of the best in this league. I workout on 5 days a week and work my butt off at practice, in the weight room and studying the playbook. Just looking for some outside expert tips to bolster my game. Thanks a lot Coach!

ANSWER: Dear Tevin,
Here are a few web-links that might be of help.

QUESTION: Do you have any tips for pass coverage? I'm confident in my blitzing ability but I would like to be confident in dropping back and covering as well. I've looked up videos but none have really helped. Thanks a lot Coach Louis!
