Flipper Technique

Even though I subscribe to the same theory that Coach Easton and Coach Mountjoy do about using the hands. The coaches that do use the flipper on the inside technique that I have talked to say that they do this to quickly "lift" the defensive lineman as a stall tactic for the inside lineman to take over the block. They also argue that since the the OL with the inside shade is stepping playside away from the inside tech that the flipper technique helps the OL from turning his shoulders away from the play. Since the outside shade player has a better chance of staying on the OL's "tracks" because he is on the playside of the OL, he can then engage him with his hands. This is the explanation that I got on this subject. I personally prefer using the hands, but whatever you feel works...
