Been putting this off, however it’s time to announce, I was offered and accepted the Defensive Coordinator position @ McDaniel_FB. My family and I are incredibly happy for this next step of my coaching career. This was a dream for me and now the work begins!!!
Cobras are 1-0 after a 35-0 victory this evening. Defense showed out with its first shutout of the season, 3 turnovers and 1 TD. So proud of the defense!!!
Tonight, we got our chance to avenge last years loss against South Carroll and we never flinched. We won 14-7. So proud of these boys, defensively we held a shutout only giving up a score with 1:27 to go in the game against an extremely talented offense. Onto the next one
Need some clarification on how
@KMendez33
did not make All Metro this year? His stats are far better than any other RB that was selected and he did this in ONLY 7 GAMES!!!! The most talented RB I’ve ever seen at field level.
Cobra Strike Defense has been taking care of business the past two weeks. Guys have been stepping up and stepping in to play multiple positions on defense. So proud of these young men, the best is yet to come!!!
Last night we won the 1A/2A regional championship with a 42-6 victory, defense pitched a shutout until last drive of game (mop up time). So proud of our guys but the work isn’t done until we’re holding the final trophy up in Annapolis!!!
One of our most productive calls on 3rd down this year. “Bears” path with both edge rushers playing “Spear” tech.
@travisLwalls
hits this perfectly with relentless pursuit.
@JaqwanStokes
sets edge with moving pocket and coverage is perfect

@CoachTManes
It’s the same as Saban’s “Bears” path, just drew diagram up with our team logo and terminology. Ran it from several presentations and at times would our base coverage behind it (Rip/Liz).
Absolute freak on defense capable of playing any LB position on the field, speed to cover receivers and an insanely high football IQ on top of being a hard working student athlete. Team captain who made everyone around him better. True honor to have coached him!!!
CO 22’ Travis Walls Season highlights.
Player Information included in Video with head coach contact information as well.
It definitely was a hell of a 4 years at this school playing for the best coaches a young man could ask for.
Check out my highlight -
Forever grateful for Coach Palmer, he took a chance and hired me and never looked back. I learned so much from him especially how to be a leader of young men. Things that myself and every player who has had the privilege to play for Coach will carry with them for life.
🐍 🏈 Coaching Update:
Coach Tim Palmer Has stepped down as Head Football Coach at Harford Tech. Under Coach Palmer from 2017 - 2023 the football program had It’s the most successful stretch in school history. 47 total wins, 3 regional championships, 3 State Semi Finals
They saying is you can’t major in MOFC coverage unless you have great cover corners and
@KevinMendez1315
is the perfect example. Teams avoided his side & he didn’t allow a completion over 5 yards all year. Tremendous open field tackler as well vs run & pass.
@CoachHeem1
Also surprised that
#1
from Cambridge (Belizaire) didn’t make the list. Hardest individual player I’ve ever had to game plan for. Had me pulling my hair out in our first round matchup. Eastern shore def has their share of ballers. This state needs more love in general
STATE CHAMPION!
Proud of this young man! Matayo set the initial winning jump in the very first round & then sealed it even more with a HUGE PR on his last attempt! 46’ 1.75”
@TechXc
Had a great time this morning at Towson University checking out the team during a spring ball practice. Thank you to
@CoachEDaniels
,
@Coach_Ambrose
for having us out there today!!!
Great example of middle hook/3 up technique against Quads formation pass from last night.
@travisLwalls
extremely talented and the most cerebral linebacker I’ve ever coached. This young man will be a Diamond in the rough and played ILB this year instead of OLB due to injuries.
Our total defensive stats through the entire season (regular & playoffs). Considering these fellas had to learn a completely new system and we aren’t afforded any type of off-season programs (spring ball) I’d say they picked up quickly and mastered it. So proud of these players
Great coverage rep here by
@WyattDudeck
our Jack OLB 6’5” 230lbs running with a WR/TE playing with excellent position maintenance. Also great by
@GashQuincy
who tracked ball from MOF and made play on the ball 3 yards from sideline. Tremendous range and extremely intelligent
@joey_kanner33
in 1 word = MOTOR, offenses couldn’t get away from this guy. Play to or play away this guy was ALWAYS around the ball and making big plays. 22.5 TFL and 9 sacks on SZN playing 4i and 3 Tech. Expect bigger things next year From him and brother
@kanner_josh
GAMEDAY!!!! After missing last season due to COVID, we start our season tonight at Home vs Sparrows Point!!!! It’s Been a long time coming

Either Safety fills or they have to have at least one DL player Two gap which is what they do occasionally in this game with McPhee.
@kaleb_gsx
Like we didn’t have 2 teams make it to the state semi finals. Guess they figure it was all luck. Truly a shame this county doesn’t get more recognition for its players.
Congrats
@KMendez33
on this accomplishment, truly the best I’ve ever seen run the ball and I’m glad you’re finally getting recognized. Tremendous character, hard worker and most important a LEADER.
@CoachHeem1
He is def gifted, went to scout them against Cambridge to see who we would play in the first round and I was def impressed with not only what I saw on film but in person.
@DPRees8
@ravens4dummies
To me it looks like Queen needs to react and play off of the Double team on Wolfe. Once Wolfe starts getting down in the A Gap Queen should fit the B and it looks like Fort is trying to squeeze to backside A to replace Washington. This doesn’t happen to 93 and 98 IMO.
WE ARE BACK! SEASON 5 EPISODE 1 with Kyle Cogan is out now! We examine his ENTIRE Cover 7 package (3+ hours!), examining the four families: Cones, Brackets, Triangles, and Boxes. Coach Cogan goes over all of the tools in each one of the families. (1/4)
To think we had a 4 game losing streak in the middle of our season, to winning the last 5 straight is nothing short of impressive. All credit goes to the players for the hard work and drive they have to NEVER QUIT!!! I love this team and the staff. Beyond proud to be a COBRA
@WyattDudeck
one man wrecking crew on this play, impedes the TE then ricochets off the puller to make play on the ball. Had quite a few plays similar to this, this past season. Played OLB/DE and occasionally used at 4i for us last season. Great size & athleticism
We're back with the

High School Football Coach of the Week! This week's coaches are

@ravenwizardd
@PFF_DLee
@jonas_shaffer
Multiple front but mostly 4-2-5 structure which is what I expect we’ll base out of and junk into different looks based on offensive personnel
Keeping it simple on 3rd & 14 with dbl edge pressure from one of our 5-0 rush fronts.
@410nateg
&
@JaqwanStokes
applying quick pressure and
@travisLwalls
dropping to play “Rat” taking away the quick crossing route. QB eats it and we get a sack fumble
@ravens4dummies
@DPRees8
Exactly. He’ll be fine after he gets a full offseason under his belt. I believe the expectations were so high for him because that position is one we hold in the highest regard and one of the pieces we needed to make the defense spectacular again and he was throw into the fire
🐍 🏈 Coaching Update:
Coach Brad Hunt will be the new Head Football Coach at Harford Tech. A member of the Coaching Staff since 2017, Coach Hunt will look to continue to build upon the success that the football programs has had over the last 6 seasons.
Having these two on the edges this year really gave us a lot of versatility and pressure options in our “Raptor” package (2-4-5). Both edge players
@WyattDudeck
& Jeremy Jewell have tremendous size, explosion and athleticism along with the physicality needed to set the edge
When I hear Kirby Smart say Georgia really doesn't like recruiting kids who don't participate in high school spring ball makes me think of Ohio High School. His point was they want kids that go through spring ball because they're more developed and come in more ready to play.
@Ross_Ratliff
@ryanhunt_4
Very very impressive. Could slay at the next level for sure. Arm strength, accuracy, timing and poise. All the makings of the modern QB in today’s game. Wish I would’ve been able to coach with him on the team.
Not much I can really say about this, just amazing timing and high motor play here by
@410nateg
hitting this gap, ricocheting off the RB and getting the pressure/sack here on a 1st & 10 putting this offense behind the sticks early.
Awesome run fit here on a 3rd & 4 situation.
@travisLwalls
hard joints the off ball tight end and completely ruins his day playing “high gear” while
@GashQuincy
gets his run read and attacks the edge & drops RB. These 2 were the “Heart & Brains” of our defense!!! Gonna miss em
@ravens4dummies
Would like to see more of this coupled with a quick pass game. If we can force defenses to have to honor 4WR sets and keep them out of the box it will help. Proche needs more reps on offense that dude is a great route runner and has hands. Just my opinion tho
@kdubb121
Thank you brother, you know it wouldn’t be possible without you and the rest of our staff man. Y’all coach them boys up to play fast and be instinctive!!!
As a lifelong Ravens fan and HS DC in Baltimore this was awesome and an awesome session to kick off the Clinic. I encourage as many Coaches & fans of the game to contribute to this great cause.
Ravens DC Mike Macdonald on right now talking about building calls from Fronts, Patterns, and Coverages. Go here: to help support
@MrsCoachGaylor
and
@CoachAdamGaylor
!
@Ross_Ratliff
Cant let them both run free off the line and in the same lane. That’s why I like pressing the point. If you play off, you better have good and clear switch rules. Seems the corner did his job the other defender (safety) should’ve taken 1st inside.
2000 Ravens defense was legendary but I always tell people the 06’ Ravens Defense was better in my opinion. Had they went on to win the Super Bowl in 06’ people would be talking about that defense in the Top 3 of all time. I still look for and watch game tape from that year
@Ross_Ratliff
@kaleb_gsx
We played a lot of double eagle/Bear yesterday which makes his job super easy to fill and fit and he still somehow managed to get blocked by slow playing. His greatest skill is speed yet against the run he plays slow and lost. Malik is better so far at fitting the run.
Effective TE driven concepts from Tennessee/Josh Heupel.
- Bluff Seam + Trap Pass Pro. Gap action helps sell the bluff down block from the TE.
Y Delay. COS Motion + Zone Cut action. Force coverage rotation & capture the eyes of the overhang.
@Matayo059
had some great interceptions the past two seasons especially when you consider the amount of ground he covers from the time the ball leaves the QB’s hand.
