I've seen quite a few pass rush stunts in my career.

There's classic stunts like the T-E and E-T and then there's stunts you reserve only for special situations.

The coffee house is one of these stunts.

Here’s a THREAD on how to execute this unique stunt…

When to run the Coffee House

Because the Coffee House is essentially a fake (E-T)/(T-E) it should only be used after running a successful (E-T)/(T-E).

Also it should only be ran to the man side because the O-Line will not respect a fake if they are not 1 on 1 with DT and DE.

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

On the other hand, if you feel the Tackle is sitting too heavily on the T-E 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 change up to trick blockers into picking up the wrong rusher.

Big credit to @BrandonThornNFL and @FB_FilmAnalysis. They've written a load of great stuff on this topic. This thread summarized many of their ideas.

If you like this breakdown I'm writing a book where I go in depth on pass rush techniques, drills and stunts that top pros use in real life situations.
