Here's an interesting coverage technique that you should be sure to pass along, word for word, if you ever happen to be coaching Pee-Wee players or little kids some day. Alabama sophomore defensive back Ronnie Harrison explained the technique that, in addition to having a whole host of five-star recruits (probably more the latter than the former), propelled the Crimson Tide to having the top defense in the nation this past season.

Asked by a reporter what technical terms the secondary has, Harrison runs off a list, but she keeps asking for more. Finally he responds by saying "I can't say it," and then, without even the slightest of pauses, immediately follows up on that with "Put your dick in his hip."

That's terminology that even novices to the sport can understand. And, though we have no reason to believe she's a novice, the reporter catches on right away. At that point she asks for clarification by saying "Like this, you're riding him like this, right?" Hey, it's always good to be thorough. However, she's off-screen, so we guess you'll have to picture that in your head.

After confirming that they won't be able to use that on TV, she thanks him and walks away. Thankfully YouTube's standards are far lower.

You can check out how Harrison and the rest of the team's DBs do with their dick-in-the-hip technique when undefeated Alabama plays one-loss Washington at 3 p.m. on Saturday in the first of two College Football Playoff semifinals.
