Splatter Technique in the tilted 4-3

What is the "Splatter Technique"? I have not heard this term yet.

Thanks

Is this the same as "wrong arming"? With the goal to bounce the inside run outside. If so, have the D lineman "hide" behind the down block to keep the blocker off the second level, then at the last second he pops with an inside rip on the trapper then squares up for the ball.

Hope this helps.

Coach,
Yes, you want your end to make the play. I tell our ends that they hide and trap the traper, outside rip. The linebacker just saw a down block so he will fill that gap and force the rb back to the end.. Well, in a perfect world... Anyways thats what we tell him...

Coach- D.L.,
Ripping inside the trapper with your outside arm to his inside hip and then "squaring up" to the ball is what I've always understood the "wrong-arm" technique to be. I teach this to my 3/4 tech players vs. an inside trap more so than against the counter trey. If I understood Coach Golla correctly I teach reacting to a kick-out block on the 9 technique the same way he teaches it, to not let the pulling guard kick them out by attacking the puller's outside shoulder. "Wrong-arm" a trap and outside rip a counter. Am I on the right track with this guys?

You're right Gunrunner44. I too just made a typo. I didn't mean to say "outside rip" I guess with all of the different terms each region or program might use, it would be easy to not be on the same page. I was actually asking if you guys attack an inside trap block differently than a kick-out block on a Counter I teach to "wrong-arm"/" outside rip" the pulling guard on an inside trap to plug up the hole. But with a kick-out block on a counter, I have my End squeeze the down block and then attack the outside shoulder of the kick-out blocker to turn force the ball back in toward the LBs. This is what I was curious in knowing..... do you guys do the same, or do you have your D linemen take on every trap/kickout block with an "outside rip/ wrong- arm" tech. I hope I made more sense this time. Thanks for all of the imput fellas.

I'm editting this message--- I just read the next thread about taking on a counter - I see how many of you are doing this. Thanks.

why do you guys say "hide"? That sounds tough...if he's 300 lbs. I teach my guys to shove the hip of the down blocker. Often we'll wind up pushing him into a pile and our LB's go untouched. It also gives us momentum going into the wrong-arm.

I like that technique of pushing the hip of the O lineman because I always teach my guys to squeeze the next gap anyway, and it makes sense that it would give you momentum going into the splatter anyway.
