So if I'm the right tackle and my rule is Gap Down Backer Is that where the difference between a gap block (Head across) and down block (Head behind) come in cause the down is further away? Or do I use these techniques based on how the guy is playing me if the defender is reading head behind if he's penetrating head across? even if he's in my gap would I ever use a down technique? Does that make sense?
Usually we'll prefer a down block ("head in the hole") because it will make it more difficult for the defender to cross the blocker to the point of attack. I cover this in depth in this article: wingt-coach.com/understanding-the-down-gap-and-cover-blocks/
great drill coach...especially in the wing T
Thanks coach

What's difference in gap block and down block? Looks like get head across on gap.
You got it. I wrote an article about this: wingt-coach.com/understanding-the-down-gap-and-cover-blocks/
@@Wingtcoachfootball Would you recommend a Gap, Down, Backer scheme or a Gap, on, Down?
@@chrisstudstill114 They both work when the rules are followed! I think coach familiarity and ability to teach are more important
Both will work on buck and power? What about rules for the wing?
First year as head coach. Been an assistant. Do you recommend this offense?
