@Church6397 Ya, i did that to, but i found out the putting your hand right above your thigh in your stance is works just as well as the traditional stance for me.
Contact should be your first step so that the second step your foot coming forward follows the guy your trying to block.If contact is your secound step how does the lineman adjust if the defensive guy changes direction before the second step? Good video!!!
@goodtimshi yeah your right but when you get out of your stance you have no choice of leaning foward. you push upwards after the first hit and you bring the guy up using your butt muscles.
Good stuff, coach. You are supposed to use your hands on the breast plate and get the forehead of your helmet under the facemask of the defense. Doesn't really matter if you make contact on the 1st or 2nd step. That depends on how far off the defender lines up.
The main blocks in football: Run (drive) Block, Pass Pro, Reach, Zone, Chop, and Scoop. First step should be a load with your hands which is called a position step, second step is your power step where the hands make contact simultaneously with the second step, while you roll your hips into the block. Stepping and making contact with the first step will force your legs to be out of sync when the second leg approaches.
I am being taught in highschool that I should put one foot behind the other and take the first step with the hind foot. I think it is wrong because it takes to much time to go forward and make the contact. And, in the video the coach doesn't seem to do that.. so what do you guys recommend? put the feet in a straight line or one in the front and the other in behind?
the only i have to correct is your first step it should only be about six inches. you dont want to over step so you cross the line of scrimmage on a pass play.
What should be the first point of contact? My coach is teaching us to make contact with our head (facemask) first, but I believe that's dangerous to the neck, and our entire team left with sore necks today. Anyone answer?
ND Alumni, what does "getting your shoulder pad underneath the other guy, have anything to do with the drive block"? Casey, nice job of covering some of the basic concepts. Not everything is as how I would teach it, however, I enjoyed your video.
Casey, I love your videos but leading with the facemask on a block is just as illegal as leading with the facemask on a tackle ... I am also old school enough to love forearms, chest & shoulder blocking & it works just fine from youth thru high school ... but I have no problem teaching hands either ... just remove the part about hitting with your helmet/mask/etc. ... finally, please note that a 'load' step 1st, then an 'explode' step with contact is the most powerful & balanced way to block ...
Your gonne maybe break ur neck ¨blocking¨ like that. Now. I have only played 5 matches and 6 or so training's with gear on. But i know how to block. So this was a waste of my time. This is basic blocking.
lmao "my 2 time all american ncaa lineman coach" you think your cool wsucougerfan19? my highschool lineman coach played 13 years in the nfl at left tackle.
Awsome job great tips
best video of teachin linemen in youtube

Thanks, this helped a lot
kind of... it really depends on how fast you move your feet and the block type, the one that he was demonstrating no, but the other two maybe.

cjtp2 is correct, contact is made on the second step, but thank you for taking time out to help others.

that doesnt matter my headcoach in high school also played in nfl but that depends on what string he played
But if your hands are up that high in the stance won't it just lower the intensity of the blow
@TJohanis42 our coach say blocking with the hand and after the head
play one of you in germany to??
@TJohanis42 everyone gets sore necks in football from the heaviness of the helmet....excpet when your neck is built
thnx nfor the arm tim now i can strike faster
DON'T USE YOUR HEAD TO BLOCK USE YOUR HANDS!!!!
when i played in little legue my lineman did this (i played fullback)
Jab, Power (Hit), and then drive...Jab needs to be no more then 4-6 inches.
dude that was good technique what are u talking about? he did lean forward to much in his stance but it is good technique
@XxAlfedxX What's his name?
No you don't, CB's also use their hand in press coverage. O-Lineman and D-Lineman use their hands.
cut block?
Watching this cause my line is terrible im QB an i get the crap beat out of
Sound basics.
