Counter Trey blocking

“WRAPPER” = PULL ONE YARD DEEPER, AND ON THE HIP OF THE “TRAPPER”. TURN UP HUGGING THE DOUBLE TEAM (IN THIS CASE - THE "TREY" BLOCK) AND LOOK OVER YOUR INSIDE SHOULDER FOR THE PLAYSIDE Lber. LEAD THRU AND DON’T SLOW DOWN (IF PLAYSIDE Lber RUNS THRU, TRAP HIM).

We do NOT get more specific than that.

It is easier for the Off G on the "Power-OH" to do, but, if you are pulling the OFF T (or the "H" - TE off the ball instead) on the Counter-Trey - it is a little too far to go!

We just try to stay consistent for ALL wrappers (Off G, Off T, or Offside H) & do it the "old fashion way.

Coach Pierson,

Seems to me if you eliminate the bucket step, you would eliminate the crossover also. I never advocated any crossover that was not absolutely necessary, especially on the HS level because it only causes big slow footed kids who are usually still growing all kinds of problems. We just had the T track a little deeper than the wrapper. Worked pretty well for us.

Coach Easton-TIGER ONE

I agree...this year at the new school I am at we have smaller quick guards that have really good footwork and it looks good so far...I do not have my bigger Tackles do this...I am experimenting with this after I heard the Oline coach from Rutgers talk about it at a clinic this spring.
