I

've seen quite a few pass rush stunts in my career. There's classic stunts like the TEX (tackle first then end) and the EXIT (end first then tackle) and then there's stunts you reserve only for special situations as change ups. The coffee house is one of these stunts.

Today I will be breaking down when and how to execute the coffee house stunt...

When to run the Coffee House

Because the Coffee House is essentially a fake TEX or Exit it should only be used after running a TEX or EXIT successfully and should only be ran to the man side of the protection. This is because the O-Line will not respect a fake if they are not 1 on 1 with the DT and DE.

So, if you notice that the guard is peaking at the penetrating end too quickly when running an Exit stunt you should consider using the Coffee House to fake the Exit as seen below.

On the other hand, if you feel the Tackle is sitting too heavily on the TEX stunt use the coffee house to free up the end off the edge.

And lastly if you're in a defense that drops defenders from the line of scrimmage frequently the coffee house is a great tool to trick blockers into picking up the wrong rusher.

That’s it for this week. Craig over and out!
