the children i coached last year were 11 and 12 im moving up with the kids who will be 13 coaching dline. last year i was teaching the rip, punch and footwork techniques however i didnt teach them how to bull rush as i feel that it leaves lots of room for the players to use bad technique and end up injured is this a smart thing to be teaching the slightly advanced techniques which they did pick up fairly well or should i be trying to install the bull rush what are the views on it.

Coach, there are five basic moves that all defensive linemen must know. BULL RUSH(DRIVE BLOCK) IS THE MOST BASIC OF THEM ALL.

1. BULL RUSH
2. RIP
3 SWIM
4 CLUB
5. SPIN

These are basic fundamentals for any defensive lineman. I am of the opinion that although your age group
may not be capable of executing them all right now, it would behoove you toat least and demonstrate each tecnique to them so that they will become familiar with each as they move up in age and ability. Just a suggestion as always.

I am in complete agreement with Coach Easton regarding the importance of the bull-rush technique.One of the few ways to counter Samurai Football's pass-rush techniques is to "soft strike" the defender so that he cannot hook-lock-lead the blocker's hands/arms. This becomes a perfect time to employ the conventional bull-rush or one of the Samurai Football bull-rush variations. As a side note, I was very pleased to be approached (at the San Jose Glazier clinic) by a youth football coach who raved about the ease with which his kids learned and successfully utilized the SF swim-move. He also said that his players caused numerous fumbles using the SF "pigskin larceny" techniques.

coach i feel that every technique is equally important, as there are various situations where one should be used over another. you're approach, in my opinion, is not wrong, you coached the techniques which you felt were more important. specifically however, the bull rush is a very useful technique, but it has to be explained and demonstrated as coach easton pointed out. if your DL don't know how to release then the technique is useless.

don't worry about what you don't know. if you had to know what you dont' know you would've learned it by now
