How:
The image below shows what I
would call the default position for downfield defense. Red star has the disc and he is trying to
score up the page. The defender on the
downfield cutter is on his man’s back shoulder and is actively trying to see
both his man and the disc.
1. As a downfield defender we want to see both the disc
and our man as much as possible
a.
It is easiest to
make a play on the disc if you can see it come out of the throwers hand
b.
When making a
play you have to pick a shoulder to lay out, laying out onto the offense’s back
is bologna
2. Try to shuffle as long as possible, turning your
hips to run only when you have to
3. If we are forcing under or forcing deep we have to
use our footwork and our hips to funnel the offense in the direction that we
want
a.
If you’re
forcing under and your guy makes a hard move under then commit to the move and
go hard with him
i.
Be in a spot
where if he stops and turns sharply you are in his path deep and you will know
that he is changing directions
b.
If you’re forcing deep then let him make his
move deep.
i.
Turn your hips
and follow him in a way that if he turns to come back he has to go through you.
4. After the offense makes a move and clears it is time
to work hard to regain a strong triangulated position
