D lineman Sub Tech

That's the idea, make a mess and get under the OL.

Sadly I gained some valuable experience this season with this. My lineman used the "Dead Buffalo" technique during the game, where they just collapse into the ground at the snap. Quarterback steps over nose tackle and runs 27 yards for a touchdown. It was AWESOME. So we had to work on it a bit. I like the 4 point stance with butts higher than head. All weight forward, head up. I had my guys go to a Low Bear Crawl, grab grass and get under the O-Line. If you don't feel pressure immediately get your head up and try to work your way up from the Bear Crawl.

One thing we have had some success with is teaching them to get to the thigh board rather than the ankles, maybe its just the kids we have here, but when I have had them get to the ankles ithey have also done it using the "dead buffalo" technique, which is truly awesome to see. Usually if I tell them thigh pad, they hit around knee or shin level.

The dead buffalo is about the same as the slug technique or the lazy lineman we ran out of athletes so I have to put you in the game because we don't have anyone else please don't get our Q hurt technique. When they just fall on the ground and hope somebidy trips on them. The only bad part about typing instead of just talking is sometimes the bitter sarcasm just doesn't come through the way you want.
