AREAS OF CONCERN

VV VVVEXAMPLE:

COACHING POINTS : INTERIOR BLOCKERS MUST STEP TOUGH, FAST, BRACE, AND LOCK INSIDE; BY DOING THIS THEY MAINTAIN THE DEPTH OF THE KICKING POCKET. TWO KEYS ARE IMPORTANT HERE: 1) TAKE YOUR STEP AND SET FAST - BEAT THE RUSHER (THAT IS WHY YOU AR OFF THE BALL) ATTACK, DON'T CATCH!2) STAY LOW UNDER THE RUSHERS PADS, AND BE SQUARE.

B. VS PUSHER

V VVVV V VV V V

OBVIOUSLY, A RUSH CAN OCCUR AT ANY AREA ACROSS OUR FRONT. HOWEVER, THERE ARE CERTAIN TYPES OF RUSHES THAT WE MUST UNDERSTAND IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY BLOCK THEM.

A. INSIDE POWER RUSH- 1. THIS RUSH IS DESIGNED TO COLLAPSE THE DEPTH OF THE KICKING POCKET. THIS ALLOWS A TALLER RUSHER TO EXTEND AN ARM OR HAND INTO THE KICKING LANE. USUALLY THERE IS A "SWIMMER" IN HERE; ALSO SOMETIMES A "GRABBER" OR A "BLASTER" TO FREE A MAN.

PUSHER TRIES TO "JAM SOMEONE THRU A-GAP; 2-3 MEN ON EITHER SIDE WILL JUST TRY TO PENETRATE (BLAST OR GRAB YOU) TO KNOCK YOU OFF BALANCE. WE USE THE SAME PRINCIPLES HERE.

IF NO ONE IS COMING HARD OUTSIDE - ALERT TO HELP INSIDE.

C. VS JUMPER (DOUBLE JUMPER) (DOUBLE PUSHER)

VV VVVEXAMPLE:

J JV

1. INSIDE DOWN MEN TRY TO DRIVE YOU BACK - PENETRATE. BEHIND THEM ARE 1 OR 2 JUMPERS WHO WILL STEP INTO THE L.O.S. AND TIME THEIR JUMP IN AN ATTEMPT TO BLOCK A LOW KICK. AGAIN OUR TECHNIQUES ARE THE SAME. "PREVENT PENETRATION" IF YOU ARE UNCOVERED LOOK TO CUT ONE OF THE JUMPERS.

D. OUTSIDE BLOCK THE PHILOSOPHY OF AN OUTSIDE BLOCK IS TO FREE 1 OF 4 RUSHERS (THE "CRASHER" BETWEEN TE AND THE WING) BY RUSHING FROM A DESIGNATED ALIGNMENT WITHIN STRESS AREAS OF THE BLOCKERS ZONES. IT IS ALSO DESIGNED TO GET IN THE KICKERS VISION ON HIS FOLLOW THROUGH. ALERT TO SOMEONE GRABBING TE TO PREVENT HINGE.

V VVV V

EXAMPLE:

VVV

fig 1d fig 2d

TIGHT ENDS - YOU CANNOT BE GRABBED!

USUALLY THE TIGHT END IS GRABBED OR MAYBE EVEN THE WING.

WE MUST ALWAYS DEFEND THE D-GAP BY GETTING TO KNEE DEPTH AND KEEP THE OUTSIDE FOOT IN PLACE. THIS WILL MAINTAIN THE WIDTH OF THE KICKING POCKET AND FORCE THE WIDEST RUSHER INTO MAKING THE BLOCK. WHEN WING COMES BACK OUTSIDE ON DOUBLE BUMP, HE MUST HOLD THE INSIDE FOOT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. IF HE CUTS THE MAN, HE CANNOT GO TOO LOW AND BE HANDLED BY THE RUSHER. MOST OPPONENTS ARE TRYING TO FREE THE MAN IN THE TE-WING GAP (THE CRASHER).

LINEMEN STAY ON L.O.S.

1. IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION, THE HOLDER & KICKER WILL YELL "FIRE, FIRE!"

2. INTERIOR LINEMEN MUST BE ALERT TO STAY ON THE L.O.S. - CONTINUE TO BLOCK AREA, SINCE THIS WILL PROBABLY BE A FORWARD PASS.

3. THE HOLDER OR KICKER WILL FIELD THE BALL AND ROLL RIGHT OR LEFT WITH A RUN/PASS OPTION. THE ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE BALL WILL BLOCK.

4. WINGS & ENDS WILL RUN TO THEIR DESIGNATED AREAS. WORK TOWARD THE BALL CARRIER TO THE OPEN AREA AND WAVE YOUR ARMS. IF YOU ARE ON THE BACK SIDE STAY PUT, THE BALL MAY COME BACK TO YOU.

7. NORMAL FIELD GOAL COVER RESPONSIBILITIES AFTER BALL IS KICKED.

NEVER HUDDLE UP!

THERE WILL ARISE SITUATIONS WHERE WE WANT TO KICK A FIELD GOAL WITH MINIMUM TIME REMAINING ON THE CLOCK AND NO TIME OUTS LEFT AT THE END OF THE HALF OR GAME. WE MUST ALL BE TOGETHER FOR THE HURRY UP SITUATIONS.THIS REQUIRES:

A. POISE B. COORDINATION C. COMMUNICATION D. A SENSE OF URGENCY

PROCEDURE:

1. SUBSTITUTED PERSONNEL SPRINT ON THE FIELD YELLING: "FIELD GOAL, FIELD GOAL, ON THE BALL". THOSE WHO ARE NOT ON THE FIELD GOAL UNIT MUST SPRINT TO THE SIDELINES!

2. CENTER MUST GET SET QUICKLY SO EVERYONE ELSE CAN GET SET IN THEIR PROPER ALIGNMENT. THIS IS THE KEY TO BEING FAST.

3. THE UNIT MUST SET IN THEIR STANCE IMMEDIATELY.

4. HOLDER WILL BE COMMANDING: "REGULAR" OR "OVERLOAD".

5. THE KICKER MUST QUICKLY GIVE A SIGNAL TO THE HOLDER TO START THE PLAY.

6. HOLDER MUST BE ALERT FOR THE TIME ON THE GAME CLOCK. ONCE HE IS SURE EVERYONE IS SET, HE WILL GIVE A "SET" CALL AND THE SNAP WILL COME IMMEDIATELY.

P.A.T./FIELD GOAL BLOCK PHILOSOPHY

“HAVE A ROCKET UP YOUR ASS!”

OUR PHILOSOPHY BEHIND OUR P.A.T. AND FIELD GOAL BLOCK IS THAT OFCONSISTENT PRESSURE. WE WILL LET THE KICKING TEAM KNOW WE ARE THERETO PUT ALL-OUT PRESSURE ON THE KICKER, WE MUST STILL COVER ALL RECEIVERSAND HAVE SOMEONE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTAINMENT. HUDDLE: STRONG SAFETY - COUNTS 11 MEN (COUNT YOURSELF)

MAKE THE HUDDLE CALL. (SAY IT TWICE)EXAMPLE: CRASH RT, CRASH RT – READY… BREAK!

TECHNIQUES:STANCE: “ROCKET ” - A SPRINTERS 3-POINT STANCE. BUTT

SHOULD BE HIGH WITH ALL YOUR WEIGHT FORWARD ON YOUR HAND. KEY THE BACK TIP OF THE BALL! - “LOOK AT IT”

ALIGNMENT: SQUEEZE THE L.O.S. TAKE ALL THE NEUTRAL ZONE YOU

CAN (CREDIT CARD) WITH YOUR DOWN HAND ALWAYS IN FRONT OF YOUR HEAD. (THIS WILL PREVENT YOU FROM BEING OFFSIDES). OUTSIDE MEN CHECK FOR OFFSIDES.

END MEN ON LOS: MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS ALIGNED ONSIDES.

KEYS & READS: KEY ONLY THE BACK TIP OF THE BALL. READ PRE-SNAP

KEYS FROM SNAPPER. DOES HE HITCH OR ROLL INTO START.

BLOCK POINT: 3 YARDS IN FRONT OF THE HOLDER. CROWD, KEY AND GET A JUMP ON THE BALL AND…

LET’S BRING IT!22

RUSH TECHNIQUES

THE MOST OUTSTANDING QUALITY OF ALL GOOD RUSH TEAMS IS THEIR ABILITY TO “GET OFF ON THE BALL”. THE STANCE AND RELATIONSHIP TO THE L.O.S. BY THE RUSHER,SHOULD BE DESIGNED WITH ONE PURPOSE IN MIND……THRUST! BEAT THE PROTECTORS REACTION TO THE SNAP.THE FOLLOWING ARE THE RUSH TECHNIQUES WE CAN USE:

LINEMEN A. BLAST – VS MAN PROTECTION. THIS IS THE BEST MOVE BY INSIDE PEOPLE. THIS IS A

POWER MOVE TO HELP FREE ANOTHER RUSHER. WE CAN USE THIS TECHNIQUE IN TANDEM WITH ANOTHER RUSHER AGAINST ONE BLOCKER.STANCE: “ROCKET”TECHNIQUE: KEY THE BACK OF THE BALL. LEAD STEP WITH YOUR INSIDE FOOT AND DRIVE YOUR EYES UNDER THE BLOCKERS APPROPRIATE NUMBER (INSIDE OR OUTSIDE). APPLY LEG DRIVE AND LIFT. GET UNDER HIS PADS. BRING YOUR FEET. TUCK YOUR TAIL. ROLL YOUR HIPS. YOU MUST GET BACKWARD MOVEMENT. GRAB YOUR MAN. MAKE SURE HIS INSIDE ARM CAN’T HELP INSIDE.SITUATION TO USE: SMALLER PROTECTOR. WEAK. SETS HIGH.

B. ARM UNDER (SHOULDER TWIST) – VS GAP PROTECTOR. THIS IS A SHOULDER AND

FOREARM TECHNIQUE, WHICH IS USED TO GET VERTICAL PUSH ON THE PROTECTORS AND TO FREE ONE (OR BOTH) ARMS FOR THE BLOCK.1. STANCE: “ROCKET”2. TECHNIQUE: KEY THE BACK OF THE BALL. LEAD STEP WITH PROPER FOOT. DIP YOUR OUTSIDE OR INSIDE (BACKSIDE) KNEE AND RIP (SHOULDER FOREARM)

UNDERNEATH THE PROTECTORS PADS. YOUR LANDMARK IS THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE GAP. MAKE SURE YOU AGAIN GAIN GROUND WITH LEAD STEP. AS YOU RIP, TWIST

YOUR SHOULDERS VIOLENTLY AND LOW. KEY IS PENETRATION. ONCE YOU ARE THROUGH USE AN UPWARD LIFTING ACTION (VERTICAL PUSH). GET HAND(S) UP QUICK!

3. WE WILL US THIS TECHNIQUE WITH “PUSH” CALL.4. SITUATION TO USE: OL DOESN’T GET ARMS OR HANDS OUT OR HAS ARMS UP HIGH. WHEN THE OPPONENT IS SOFT/SLOPPY IN PROTECTION.

23

C. ARM OVER (PUNCH THRU) – VS GAP PROTECTION. THIS IS MORE OF A FINESSE MOVEUSED TO COMPLIMENT AN OUTSIDE RUSH SCHEME OR TWO OR MORE RUSHERS WORKING IN TANDEM.1. STANCE: “ROCKET”2. TECHNIQUE: KEY THE BACK OF THE BALL. TAKE A SHORT STEP WITH PROPER FOOT (IF

NEEDED). QUICK COUNTER AND STEP WITH YOUR OTHER FOOT. GRAB THE BLOCKER’S PROPER (INSIDE OR OUTSIDE) SHOULDER WITH YOUR PROPER HAND. PULL THE BLOCKER FORWARD AND THROW YOUR FAR ARM OVER HIS APPROPRIATE SHOULDER. POWER YOUR WAY THROUGH WITH THE OTHER FOOT AND LEG. GET YOUR HIPS BY. AFTER YOU PENETRATE THROUGH GET YOUR HANDS UP! 3. SITUATION TO USE: WHEN A BLOCKER GETS LOW AND IS DUCKING HIS HEAD OR IF HE IS SLOPPY PROTECTING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OR IS OVEREXTENDED. ON ALL TECHNIQUES WE MUST GET OUR ARM HIP AND THRU OR BY. DO NOT BE SQUARE. TWIST, TURN AND GET SIDEWAYS.

C & D GAP PLAYERS A. BLAST & GRAB TECHNIQUE – VS GAP PROTECTION. THIS A TECHNIQUE IS USED BY ONE OF

THE OUTSIDE MEN (ENDS /SAM OR WILL) TO OPEN UP THE D-GAP ALLOWING OUR CRASHER A BIGGER GAP AND/OR TO PREVENT THE TIGHT END (USUALLY) FROM HELPING OUT (HINGE BLOCK) IN THE D-GAP.

1. STANCE: “ROCKET” 2. TECHNIQUE: KEY THE BACK TIP OF THE BALL. ATTACK TIGHT END USING A “BLAST TECHNIQUE” OUTSIDE IN. GRAB HIS OUTSIDE ARM AND JERSEY BY DRIVING YOUR OUTSIDE ARM UNDER HIS ARMPIT. PENETRATE DOWN AND INSIDE. MOVE HIM INSIDE FROM HIS ORIGINAL ALIGNMENT. OPEN THE D-GAP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.C.P.: SOMETIMES WE WILL DO THIS ON THE TIGHT END ATTACKING HIS INSIDE ARM AND JERSEY

DEPENDING ON HIS TECHNIQUE

B. JUMP TECHNIQUE – VS GAP PROTECTION. THIS IS USED BY THE “CRASHER” IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TIGHT END & WING (D-GAP). IT WILL BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN OUTSIDE RUSH. 1. STANCE & ALIGNMENT: 3 POINT STANCE, COCKED TO THE INSIDE SHOULDER OF THE WING WITH OUTSIDE FOOT BACK AND INSIDE HAND DOWN AS CLOSE TO THE L.O.S. AS POSSIBLE. (CREDIT CARD)2. AIMING POINT: OUTSIDE LEG OF TIGHT END.3. TECHNIQUE: KEY THE BACK TIP OF THE BALL. ON THE SNAP, TAKE THE 1ST STEP

WITH THE OUTSIDE FOOT AND CROSS THE L.O.S. ON THE 2ND STEP, JUMP OVER AND

STEP THROUGH THE D-GAP BETWEEN THE TIGHT END AND WING. USE HANDS TO PUSH YOURSELF THROUGH THE “D” GAP PROPELING YOURSELF OFF THE SHOULDER

PADS OF THE TIGHT END AND WING. USE THIS AS LEVERAGE AND ACCELERATE TO THE BLOCKING POINT. HIT THE GROUND ON YOUR 3RD STEP AND GET HEIGHT IMMEDIATELY. WITH YOUR EYES OPEN AND ARMS EXTENDED GET YOUR HANDS OUT AND UP. “VOLLEYBALL BLOCK” AND THE TAKE BALL OFF KICKERS FOOT. 4. SITUATION TO USE: TE & WING DO NOT INTERLOCK; NO RICOCHET OR HINGE TECHNIQUE USED. WING MOVES HIS INSIDE LEG.C.P.: SHOULD THE WING CLOSE DOWN HARD ON YOU, OCCUPY HIM. THIS WILL ALLOW A

CLEAR COURSE FOR THE SKINNER. YOU CAN’T ALLOW ONE MAN TO BLOCK 2 RUSHERS

RE C Sk

25

W

OUTSIDE RUSHERS A. SKIN TECHNIQUE: AN OUTSIDE RUSH MAN USES THIS TECHNIQUE

(SKINNER). THE PRIMARY ELEMENT IS SPEED! 1. STANCE & ALIGNMENT: 3 POINT STANCE, COCKED TO THE INSIDE WITH OUTSIDE

FOOT BACK, INSIDE HAND DOWN AND WIDE ENOUGH TO GET A GOOD CLOSE ANGLE TO

THE “BLOCK POINT” AND AS CLOSE TO THE L.O.S. AS POSSIBLE. (CREDIT CARD).

2. AIMING POINT: OUTSIDE LEG OF WING. TECHNIQUE: YOUR ONLY CHANCE IS TO BEAT THE WING! ON THE SNAP, TAKE THE 1ST STEP WITH OUTSIDE FOOT ACROSS THE L.O.S.- COME

HARD OFF THE OUTSIDE LEG (WHERE IT IS GOING TO BE) OF THE WING. 2ND STEP WITH INSIDE FOOT – GET YOUR INSIDE PAD UNDER HIS ARM. TOUCH THE GROUND WITH YOUR INSIDE ARM. 3RD STEP DRIVE OFF OUTSIDE FOOT ACROSS TO THE INSIDE ADJUSTING YOUR COURSE: 4TH STEP TAKE OFF, BEND (TURNING YOUR NUMBERS TO THE KICKER) AND LAY OUT WITH ARMS EXTENDED WITH EYES OPEN ON THE BLOCK POINT (1 YARD IN FRONT OF THE BALL AND 1 YARD UP). MOVE HANDS TOGETHER TAKE THE BALL OFF THE KICKERS FOOT. THE BOTTOM OF THE NUMBERS SHOULD HIT THE GROUND FIRST. LAY OUT EVERYTIME!

BLOCK SCHEMES IN STRUCTURING ANY TYPE OF BLOCK IT IS IMPERATIVE TO RECOGNIZE THE TYPE OF PROTECTIONBEING USED BY OUR OPPONENTS. WE KNOW THAT ALL TEAMS US AN “INSIDE GAP” PROTECTIONSCHEME. WITH THIS THOUGHT IN MIND, WE WILL EMPLOY BLOCK SCHEMES THAT PLACE THEGREATEST AMOUNT OF STRESS ON THE INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION AREAS OF OUR OPPONENTS. WE WILL ALWAYS TRY AND OVERLAP AREAS IN ORDER TO GET A 2 ON 1 PROTECTION PROBLEMFOR AN OPPONENT. WE WILL ALSO WORK TO GET AT LEAST 1 PENETRATOR.

A. INSIDE BLOCK: THIS BLOCK SCHEME IS DESIGNED TO PUT AS MUCH PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE IN THE

MOST CRITICAL AREA OF PROTECTION MORE P.A.T./FIELD GOALS ARE BLOCKED INSIDE THAN OFF THE CORNER. THE CONCEPT OF THE INSIDE BLOCK IS TO GET ENOUGH VERTICAL PUSH TO GET IN THE TRAJECTORY OF THE KICK.

LE LT N J RT RE

THIS TECHNIQUE CAN BE USED ANYPLACE ALONG THE FRONT BLOCK POINT – NO PUSH

BLOCK POINT – AFTER PUSH

C GG TT EE

1. THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT HERE IS THAT WE GET PENETRATION. TO DO THIS WE MUST GAIN PHYSICAL LEVERAGE ON THE PROTECTORS (PAD-UNDER-

PAD). AFTER HITTING THE PROPER LEVERAGE IT IS IMPORTANT TO INITIATE VERTICAL AND UPWARD PUSH ON THE PROTECTORS.GET HANDS UP! MOST BLOCKS COME FROM THE INSIDE.

B. OUTSIDE BLOCK THE THEORY BEHIND THIS BLOCK IS TO ESTABLISH, BY ALIGNMENT, A NUMERICAL

ADVANTAGE AND STRATEGICALLY PLACE BLOCKERS IN THE INNERMOST AREA OF THE INSIDE GAP. BY DOING THIS WE WILL HOPEFULLY FREE AN INSIDE RUSHER OR CAUSE THE PROTECTORS TO BLOCK FARTHER TO THE INSIDE THAN THEY WANT, THERBY SHORTENING THE CORNER AND ALSO THE DISTANCE OUR OUTSIDE RUSHER (SKINNER)

HAS TO GO TO THE BLOCK POINT. EVEN IF WE DON’T BLOCK IT, THIS CAN BE A GREAT BOTHER TO THE KICKER BY GETTING INTO HIS VISION.

1. BY DOING THIS WE HAVE PUT THE WING IN A POSITION WHERE HE HAS TO BLOCK 2 RUSHERS. THE KEY TO THIS OUTSIDE RUSH IS SPEED AND TECHNIQUE. THE 2ND MAN (CRASHER) WILL “JUMP” THE D-GAP

BETWEEN THE TIGHT END AND THE WING.

C Sk2. THE SKINNER MUST BE TIGHT OFF THE HIP OF THE WING. AS THE WING

BLOCKS HIS OUTSIDE HIP WILL MOVE. ADJUST YOUR PATH AND GET YOUR

SHOULDER UNDER HIS ARMS AS YOU FLATTEN OUT TO THE BLOCK POINT.

MAKE IT A SHARP ANGLE. GET YOUR OUTSIDE ARM OVER THE BLOCK POINT,
