Coaches,
I'm curious what type of stance you teach, where your DL are looking and what they are aiming at? Here is what I teach.
I teach a narrow base. I usually say feet at armpit width. Stagger in the feet should be about toe to heel. About 65-75% of weight should be forward on the hand. Hips higher than shoulders. All of our DL are shaded so we have our covered hand down. Eyes should be on our target which is the near number of the OL, any ball movement should be picked up in the peripheral vision. On movement, they explode out of their stance and shoot their hands to the target. Then they react according to the block.
Thanks,
Mike Richtman
