Hey guys, looking for any tips here..
I am new to the Linebacker position and I have been having a few problems. A little about me, I am 5'10" 225lbs. About a 4.8 40 and can bench 225 35-38 times. My weakness is my height and my strength is my power.
We run a base 3-4 and I am usually lined up close to the line. A problem I am having is when I get locked up with a blocker, I have a hard time seeing the play. I have been fighting my way to the outside so the RB has to turn up into the middle, but on run up the middle I am completerly out of the play then. Is there something I can do to help see the play with me being 5'10" when locked up on a guy that is 6'3" or so?
Another question I have is this. Is there a block shedding move I should work on because I am a little undersized? In this league I see guys up to 350lbs. Is there a move that would benefit me because of both the fact that I am have a low center of gravity and I have great strength? I have a hard time moving a guy that has me by 100lbs.
Thanks for any suggestions....
Dave
