Technique call if Covered. Ex. 5, 3,9. Many of our blocking schemesrequire combination blocking, andmaking a technique call helps

teammates in determining what theywill do.

3-point stance, with 40% of weight on down

Flat back, with toes pointed straight ahead

Toe-to-heel stagger

Weight distribution should allow you to both

run block and pass set effectively

Stance

Run Blocks

1st Step (Directional Step). Must be 6 or

less, quick and decisive. Prepares blocker to

engage defender. If step is too far, or too

slow, hell never get second foot down before

contact with defender.

2nd Step (Attack Step). To cylinder of body

of defender. The explosion of the block will

take place with 2nd step firmly in ground.

Base Block

The Base block will be used on an inside zone play (23/24 Slam) anytime a blocker is "covered"--me

he has a defender head-up, inside shade, or outside shade. The blocker will ALWAYS step with hisplayside foot. The type of step we will use is dependent on the shade of the defender:

Backside Shade or head-up: "Tough" step 4" directly forward, getting it down

quickly so that the second step is right at the cylinder of the defender.

Playside Shade: "Wedge" step at a 45 degree angle to gain playside leverage, getting it

down quickly so that the second step is right at the cylinder of the defender.

Both blockers need playside leverage, so take

"Wedge" step at 45 degrees.

RT and TE both have playside leverage on theirdefenders, so they will "Tough" step. C has a playsid

shade, so he must "Wedge" step to gain leverage.


11/25

Stretch-Double Block

The Stretch-Double block will be used on an inside zone play (23/24 Slam) anytime a blocker is"uncovered"--meaning he does not have a down defender anywhere over him. The blocker willstep laterally with his playside foot, looking to "double" the next down defender with his teammate.If the defender slants in, the blocker is in perfect position to assume the block, so his teammatecan "one arm bench" him and move to the next level (LB). If the defender moves outside, theblocker will continue on his track to the next level (LB). If the down defender fights to maintain hisposition, the blocker and his teammate will stay on the double team, driving him backwards to thenext level.

Rip-Reach Block


15/25

Overtake Block

An Overtake block is used by uncovered linemen on the outside zone (27/28Stretch). The purpose is to "overtake" the next down defender, and assume thatblock, freeing the next blocker over to climb to the LB level. The uncoveredlineman will step laterally 6" and crossover, much like the Rip-Reach. He thentries to get "ahead" of the next down defender, in essence pushing his teammatoff him so that he may climb to the next level.

a. If defender is going away, continue on a track up the field to the second level, finding a

scraping LB with your eyes. If he gets ahead of you, you may have to "Rip-reach" him. Use

inside arm to gain leverage, and control arm to square him up as you run him up field.

b. If defender is coming towards you, you will assume the drive block from partner. Drive himupfield.

Pass Protection

FundamentalsPPP--Pass Protection Posture

The most important component in an offensive lineman's pass protection is his

"set": getting his body in position to block the rusher. If a lineman has a goodpass set, he has won 75% of the battle. He wants to get to a position where hehas his nose on the rusher's inside armpit.
