Defensive Line using a 2 foot jump start?

defensive lineman would jump and explode their arms into the offensive lineman across from them by jumping with two feet, much like a broad jump, instead of taking a step with one foot or the other after ball movement. This basically requires a very balanced stance, a very slight stagger if any, reacting to offensive man movement.

Jim McNally, offensive line coach of the Buffalo Bills showed me this summer how the Patriots do this with their nose and 5 techniques--but out of a THREE point stance!

Lou - I've seen defenders (particularly LBers do that on the goal line, of course.

I have some Patriot film from 2004 I'll sdtudy!

Thanks!

Lou - Happy Thanksgib=ving to YOU! You're right! I think Pat has two more years.

Enjoyed meeting you at the Camp. You might want to come to our Semi-Annual Clinic in Richmond, Va in mid July (date not yet set, but 2nd or 3rd week in July usually). We do not charge, but limit it to 30 coaches who run SIMILAR offenses (ONEBACK with 2 WR/2 TE, &/or, 3 WR/1 TE) . We generally have 1 NFL Coach (last time it was Larry Zierlein), 2-3 College Coaches, & the rest are HS Coaches (Dan Robinson, etc.) speaking. Last time - we had coaches from 8 different states!

I will be speaking at the Mega Clinic in Baltimore on Sat Feb 10 & Sun Feb 11. Hope you can make it.

They were working on how to defeat it. The Bills only spent about five minutes on it, but Coach McNally also discussed it at the clinic I attended in July. The Patriots defensive linemen lunge into the center and two OT's. Watch the Pats play and see what you think.

If the Pats are doing it in their 3-4, it obviously must be sound. Three Super Bowls don't lie.

Happy Thanksgiving Jerry!

Coaches, Brad Lawing has a DVD from coaches choice on this subject. He preaches hip/hand movement before the feet. The hips and hands will re-adjust according to the direction the OL is taking(inside/outside) It is similar to a sprinters start. One of the benefits according to Coach Lawing is that it promotes a flat back and good leverage. Its a very thought provoking DVD, im just not sure my kids could pick up on that technique.
