Question on 4-2-5

coach4-Christ:

10 Technique ILBers:

ALIGN = 4 yds. deep.

1. Read thru the uncovered Center to the near back ("DON'T GO UNTIL YOU KNOW")! CRITICAL: MUST learn the difference between the Center's zone blocking towards the 3 technique, and, the Center blocking BACK on the 3 technique (read the ANGLE of his block)!

2. Keep shoulders square.

3. Do not cross feet (inside/out pursuit).

4. Play DOWN HILL!

5. Make Plays!

PS: Play the "3 Techniques" like this:

THREE TECHNIQUE: ALIGN WITH INSIDE SHOE TO CROTCH OF THE OG. (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 - 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.
