Wrong arm Vs. squeez?

dcoach27,

Just as Bill has decribed above, is EXACTLY how it is done.

Sounds like a winner to me. More than one way to skin a cat as long as it is sound.

Lou - BOTH ways have merit. We teach BOTH.

The ONE thing that you have to watch out for IF you "wrong-arm", & that is to be SURE you have someone to spill the ball TO!

I like having the DE in a "4-3 Over" with a bubble over the OFFENSIVE T wrong arm (& spill to the scraping SLB plus secondary support) when the TE blocks back to Mike. If HE doesn't the "POWER-OH" can devastate the defense with the "DUECE" block on the 3 technique, & a trapper plus wrapper coming for the DE & SLB!

What you mentioned is best. Do not need too many DRILLS to teach technique. Just simulate game condition.

For EXAMPLE: We work a 3 technique vs the FOLLOWING (in a "READ DRILL"): Set up with an ON T/ON G/CTR/OFF G VS the 3:

THREE TECHNIQUE: (TAKE A SHORT STEP WITH INSIDE FOOT READING OG – STAB WITH HANDS AND EXPLODE OUT OF HIPS). B GAP RESPONSIBILITY!
A. Vs. REACH BLOCK OF OG: Knock OG back and keep his head inside as you lock out outside arm. Stay square and find the ball.
B. Vs. DOWN BLOCK OF OT: OG pulls outside - dip outside shoulder and attack OT on your angle. If OT’s head is in front of you widen and work to cross face. If OT’s head is behind you, fold behind him.
C. Vs. TRAP: OG releases inside - OG releases outside - flash inside for trapper. Attack trapping OG – take out his inside shoulder with your outside shoulder. Come underneath OG.

NOTE: DT’S HAVE INSIDE PASS RUSH LANES.

The 7 technique in our 4-2-5 (AKA: 4-4) is a DE. He should be physical enough to defeat a TE BUT ALSO QUICK enough to contain a QB. QB's breaking the contain on passes will ABSOLUTELY DESTROY a defense! We play a kid that resembles a "power forward" in BB here.

The DT needs "some lead in his pencil", but how big is big? If he weighs 250 - the OG MAY weigh 275, etc. He needs to be quick, but not as quick as the 7 technique. A HS heavyweight wrestler trype may do well here.

At ALL positions - "if a kid is good enough, he is big enough"!

PS: A "7" cannot protect a "3" from a down block by the OT.
