Seahawks land Harvin

Percy Harvin lands in the Great Northwest with the Seahawks

Russell Wilson has another play maker!  Percy Harvin leaves the Vikings and heads to the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are young, have a great young QB and a stout defense and now they have a fantastic Offensive player to add to their arsenal.  The trade involved a trio of draft picks to the Vikings.  Harvin has passed his physical and is officially a Seahawk.  The NFC West is already a tough conference.  They are better today with Harvin now in a Seahawk uniform.

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...
