Just a quick question. We're going up against a stunting team upfront. I'm curious as to what other OL coaches use as cues to teach their linemen not to follow the looper.
One of the things I tell my linemen on a rush play is to get your hands on the defensive lineman right now. They do a lot of X stunts, Nose under End, Nose under Tackle. When they do the double X stunt, with the tackles looping over the End, they have the tackles aligned head up on the guards and the ends lined up head up on the OTs. The DTs take a step into the A-Gap and then loop around the pinching end. I think our guards can blow this whole stunt up by getting hands on and driving that tackle inside because then our OT can just wash the end down and we can hit outside. But if our guard misses, what's the next best way to block that stunt? Just have the guard step down hard inside, make a "stunt" call and make sure the tackle stays home as well?
They also do some looping stunts. Which don't make me all that nervous, they take too long to develop to be a problem against the run.
For pass pro, we'll likely slide pretty much everything.
