Swipe or Wipe move? May 2, 2011 18:12:21 GMT

Hi,

I'm new on the forum, and I'm wondering what's the Swipe or Wipe move. I'm on my second year of coaching in Montreal, Canada. I never heard of that move, excepted when Shawn Merriman did the double swipe move, but I don't understand this move and he's the only one who made a video about that move.

I want to know about this move because the Head Coach wants us to structure the practice with drills who's going to be the same in every practice. (This kind of structure made his proof with an 8-2 record, including playoff, and with a team of 28 players... Anyway that's not the point). We use a simple 4-3 Defense (Almost everytime cover 3) and we rarely blitz. Our DL played : Technique 9, 2, 2 & 7...

Is anyone here who ever heard of this move?

Thank you

Max

P.S. If anyone doesn't understand something, I'm sorry : english isn't my first language. And if anyone wants to know about our program structure, offensively or defensively; be my guess to ask any question!

Ok so the Swipe and wipe moves are pass rush moves in order to gain an edge of the offensive lineman. By edge i am meaning gaining the shoulder by knocking down the hands. Wipe and swipe are simplly moves to knock down the hands as you press into your lane. When explaining wipe think of windshield wipers, coming from the bottom all the way across the body, usually finishing all moves with a rip. With the swipe you are doing the same move but now going over the arms, and again finishing with the rip. If you are coaching for a highschool team then understand that these moves are not what I would consider needing anytime in your daily practice schedule. Some Defensive line coaches will spend time during the week on what is called "hand games" which is a partnered drill that you work on knocking hands down. Again to me this is more of summer drills then season drills, but are affective drills. If you have any questions feel free to email me at coachroberts66@yahoo.com

I think hand fighting drills should be an EDD for DL players. Whether this or simply fighting to get their hands on and keep them on the breast plate/shoulder of the opponent, and placement and body spacing is essential for HS DL players. Otherwise they either end up standing straight up trying to find the ball, or they drop their head and don't get a good feel for that read on the blocker across from them. We work hand use and eye level maybe more than anything with our DL players.
