Blocking terminology(meaning of terms)???

Arc release - usually made by a TE by dipping his shoulder while stepping with his outside foot to avoid the block by the DE (arc block) and continue up field to whatever his route or blocking assignment calls for.

Stalk Block- made by a receiver on a defensive back, usually accomplished by tracking (stalking) the defender and slamming him and maintaining contact with him at point of contact after breaking down and not allowing defender to evade him. AS 90 % of all options that break big, break in the outer one third of the field, the stalk block by the Wideouts are absolutely critical to the complete success of the play. Repping, after nailing the proper technique is essential, and should be an incorporated part of your practice regimen on a daily basis. Hope this will help you.

Additional thoughts -

Double team block (combo) - usually made by the center- guard, guard-tackle or Tackle- Tight End at the point of attack with one player "slamming and sliding " off of the first level defender and on to the LB at the second level of defense. The option was originally designed so that undersized offensive lines did not have to block the usually much bigger D linemen, on a one to one basis and always included the double team at the point of attack.

Slam and Slide - the technique of comboing the DL and having the offensive player closest to the 2nd level defender (LB) "slide" off of the double team and go directly to the designated LB at the second level.
This technique is imperative to the success of the inside veer option, as well as, many other running plays.
