Ohio State vs. the team up north!




Ohio State vs. Michigan:

This week, the Governor of Ohio issued an official mandate to all Ohioans, do NOT use the letter "M" this week.  Saturday, on Braxton Millers' birthday, the only way for the Buckeye QB to celebrate is for his Buckeyes to do what everybody expects them to do, dominate the Wolverines.  Five times in the last twenty years Michigan has shocked and undefeated Ohio State team.  Not today though, Miller, Carlos Hyde, Ryan Shazier and company will continue their winning ways and defeat Coach Brady Hoke and the Wolverines.

Eighteen of the twenty two starters for this Ohio State team have an extra special something lingering in the back of their mind today.  They are connected to the sweater vest.  Yes, these eighteen young men were recruited and brought to Columbus by Jim Tressel.  The sweater vest continues to live on in Buckeye land.  Coach Urban Meyer will stand on the OSU sideline directing his Buckeyes, knowing full well that he too is a care taker of the all mighty "sweater vest."

 

   
Buckeyes - 35 Michigan - 14 in a emotion filled Ohio state victory.

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...
