Dannell Ellerbe Leaves the Ravens for South Beach

Ravens LB Dannell Ellerbe leaves the Super Bowl Champs:


Ray Lewis is gone and now his heir apparent Dannell Ellerbe is gone as well.  Ellerbe has left the defending Super Bowl Champs for South Beach and the Miami Dolphins.  Ellerbe, widely considered the best MLB in this years free agent class and said to be a priority to resign in Baltimore to replace Ray Lewis says good bye and moves on to the Dolphins.  This is a huge hit to the Ravens.  Today the Ravens have lost Kruger, Boldin and now Ellerbe.  Ed Reed, look out the Ravens are moving in a different direction.  It looks as if the $120 million Joe Flacco contract is spreading throughout the Ravens.  Ozzie Newsome is one on f the best GM's in the NFL.  He knows what he is doing and would not have let these players leave if the cupboard was bare.  The Ravens will be fine.

The NFL's New QB Era! Is it here to stay?

The NFL & the Read Option QB: Here we go, 1 month from the draft and everybody is looking for the next RG3, Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick or Cam Newton.  The mobile QB that runs the read option that can lead a franchise to the promise land.  I am here to tell you that Mike Tomlin head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers said correctly recently; "the read option QB is just the flavor of the month!"  It is a fad that is here now and will be gone soon enough.  The Philadelphia Eagles have mortgaged their future in hiring Chip Kelly away from Oregon to bring him into the NFL to run his high octane read option offense with plays being run every 13 seconds!   I am of the belief that Mike Tomlin's words will proof to be prophetic.  RG3 and his knee injury last year against the Ravens is just the start of the injured reserve list being filled with these high dollar QB's that run the read option.  These guys will riddle the IR next season....

DL "Low Hat" Block Recognition

Following the "Get-off", every DL players progression is block recognition.  We teach 3 low-hat progression / reaction teaching techniques daily. *Low-Hat Block Reactions: 1.  OL "Down" - our DL will react to a  down block by squeezing the outside shoulder pad tip of the OL. Our objective is to be violent with our strike squeezzing the OL preventing his shoulders from being square & climbing to the 2nd level. We want to cancel the gap to the inside of   OL with his body. In short we teach - "Down = Squeeze". 2. OL "Drive" - our DL will react to a drive block with a sit - seperate - pull through reaction. Following our get-off we recognize the OL in a drive block / base block our reaction imediately transfers to our core strength. We will sit or sink our hips maintain an athletic base and drive forward followed by a violent pull through. The pull through combines with a catapult of our body to our gap control combined with the OL being slun...
