Receiver blocking technique

STALK BLOCK
Receiver releases to outside shoulder of DB. As releasing, WR must look at DB and nothing else. When DB drops his hips to break down (when he realizes the play is a run), the WR should also break down. At this time the WR must be about 2-3yds away from DB. As DB starts to come up, the WR should take the DB to the side the DB is going. The DB will not try to run over the WR; he will take one side or another. All the WR has to do is punch the DB and shuffle (not turn and run) to stay in front of the DB.
Young WR's usually do one of three things that cause them to miss blocks. One is the failure to break down, and two is the failure to break down 2-3yds from DB. If they don't break down, they won't be in control to make the block. If they get too close, the DB can easily get his hands on the WR and throw him aside.
If a WR turns his shoulders to attack the DB (instead of shuffling laterally), the DB will usually get by him-the old adage about always playing with square shoulders.
Hope this helps....
