So if the T and N are playing heads up over the guards, do the guards still hit that gab block and simply ignore the man that is directly on them? If so, then you are relying heavily on the backside tackle to hit that slant block on the T that is left of the LG.
It's still simple, so long as the blocker stays on his track. That's because the blocker isn't responsible for a man. Most coaches using GDB mix in SAB to counter stunts. Stay on your track until you clear level one, then advance to the Backer. Whoever ends up in your gap as you're clearing level one is who you block.
@@johnjr.5241 I agree in theory running your track should collect the next man but sometimes running tracks ob stunts results in the defender beating you or playing over the top and your track not being able to collect
@@craigseaman4275 Good point. This is where coaching styles differ. We play with tight splits, so we rarely, if ever, get beat on level 1 by stunts, and we're okay with the defender playing over the top and possibly making the play. For us, that's usually a 3-4 yard gain. Granted, the athletes on both teams matter in the grand scheme. If my guys are slower than the defenders, the guy over the top will definitely cause problems.
Great video 📹 👍
The moment I heard his voice, I knew he knew what he was talking about lmao

So a player that’s head up will never be blocked?
I often tell our players: This should really be called Gap, Slant, Blitzer, LB.
The centers rule should be MOMA. Man on Man Away.
For us: Strong A to Weak A vs a N (Zero) and vs Even front he gets on his track like everybody else.
Simple until they run a stunt

@@johnjr.5241 100% we adjust our splits by both our ability and our opponents, I hear you on the 3 or 4 yards....take it all day long
