“They’re too young to learn technique.” The fear: too much information, too soon. Kids can’t process it. Let them just play. Here’s what I’ve seen after years of coaching this exact age group: it’s not the amount of information that overwhelms them — it’s how it’s taught. Defensive linemen are skill players too. Hand placement, pad level, get-off, leverage — these aren’t “advanced” concepts you save for college. They’re fundamentals. And fundamentals taught early, in age-appropriate reps, build the kind of instinct you can’t install as a junior in high school. The kids who struggle aren’t overwhelmed by technique. They’re overwhelmed by technique dumped on them with no progression, no reps, no patience. Slow down the delivery. Don’t lower the ceiling. #DLine #DefensiveLine #youthfootball #az #technique

Drill work → Game work. No wasted reps. What we build during the drills in week will show up under the lights on Friday. This is what “translation” looks like — technique isn’t just for show, it’s for Sundays (or in this case, Friday Night Lights). Keep grinding. The tape doesn’t lie. #DefensiveLine #DLine #highschoolfootball #az #technique

0.65 seconds. That’s the gap between an elite college D-lineman and a pro. Not strength. Not size. Not a “motor.” Time. 0.65 seconds is how much faster a pro gets from stance to quarterback. That’s the difference between a hurry and a strip-sack — between a highlight and a stat line that says nothing happened. You don’t find that gap in the weight room. You find it in your get-off, your hand placement, your bend. Technique closes the gap that talent can’t. #DefensiveLine #PassRush #DLine #UFL #collegefootball

The job started last October. Job isn’t finished. Day by day, brick by brick. #highschoolfootball #defensiveline #dline

A high school kid rushing the edge is usually working on RAW tools — get off, hand placement, bend around the corner. Reps are about building the foundation. Technique is still developing, and the priority is repping the fundamentals until they’re automatic. An athlete who played overseas has already logged real snaps against grown men, different rule sets, different blocking schemes. They’ve seen tempo and physicality most high schoolers haven’t. But that doesn’t mean their technique is clean — a lot of times it means they’ve gotten away with instinct and athleticism instead of detail. Here’s the truth: age and experience don’t decide who needs technique work. Everybody needs it. Defensive linemen are skill players too — hands, angles, leverage, and timing don’t care how many snaps you’ve played. They care how precise you are. Foundation first. Detail always. #passrush #DefensiveLine #PassRush #ufl #DLine

Couple of Punts against Basha. 40-7 pinnacle with the W!!! 1 punt Rollout, right 55 -4.6 fumble recovery 2 punt Pooch punt 43- 4.5 down at the 1 3 punt no returner roller for 60 down at the 6 yard line. @PinnaclePioneer @steverausch17 @3DRobinson @KohlsKicking @KohlsHighlights

2 losses they’re safe.. 3 losses SHOULD NOT kick them from the top 12, but I’d be more nervous tho… 4 I THINK would eliminate them.. I think we need to talk about Pinnacle more and that defense which has gotten so much better over the last few years!!

Weeks 1–3 highlights 🔥 6’2” | 275 | DT/NG Pinnacle HS | 6A Huge 40–7 win over Basha. 🧱 Back to work. More to prove. #TRENCHMOB🤫💤 hudl.com/v/2UGs6M @AZHSFB @PinnaclePioneer @3DRobinson @MpPerformanceaz @gridironarizona @azc_obert

Basha’s five year streak of 9+ regular season wins is OVER Final Score: Pinnacle 40 Basha 7 The Pioneers dominated defense and special teams to dethrone the defending Open Division Champions

Extend, don’t punch. Too many guys try to run-block like they’re benching a barbell — locked elbows, upper body only, hoping strength wins the rep. Real movement comes from the hips. Extend your arms to control the surface, then drive through your hips like you’re finishing a squat, not a bench press. Your legs and hips have way more force to give than your arms ever will. Bench press blocking gets you stood up. Hip-driven blocking gets you movement. Technique wins reps. Every time. #dline #az #defensiveline #highschoolfootball #fundamentals

My first 2 games of the 2026 season vs. Highland and Brophy

In season tune ups. Believe it or not, you do lose technique as the season goes. By the end of the season into the playoffs, you at full go. #az #dline #highschoolfootball #defensiveline #passrush

Week 2, same mission. Be the force #az #dline #highschoolfootball
