Defending The Lead/Iso

• The playside backer must wreck  and spill the play.   • We teach our backer to spill the  play to help.   • Our Mike must take on the Iso block    with his outside shoulder.   Our  Backer & Quick take on the Iso   block with their inside shoulder.     • TAKE ON ISO BLOCKS AT LOS!   • We want to create a triangle to the    football.   • Our Titans must play force/fold    staying home for the bounce, then   folding inside to help on the tackle.
