Stalk block progression

We use a push-crack technique. If the defender (corner) bails or is pushed back by the release-stem of the wide reciever, the reciever converts to a "crack" technique by angle stalk blocking the near saftey. If the defender (corner) squats or attacks we use normal stalk blocking rules:
1. do not break down until you "step on the toes of the defender"
2. you must break down hip & knee - "put your nose between his numbers"
3. Extend hands with thumbs together fingers out (looks like an eagle)
4. Foot fire feet while mirroring defender - keep your toes & knees under your shoulders and keep your feet moving.
5. Most important lesson - let him choose a side to fight through - just keep his momentum going - remember its the backs job to cut AWAY from the stalk block. Don't try to muscle or drive a defender - always stay on top of him.
