DL wrong arm technique

DL - 3 tech or 5 tech vs. down block by the OL.
1. Identify strike zone - (V of the neck with inside hand / outside hand outside shoulder pad tip.
2. Eyes follow strike hand to V of neck.
3. Feet - we want 3 steps before the OL player can get 2 feet in the ground.
4. " feet then hands" coaching point.
5. Progression - ( strike / seperate / escape).
6. OL downblock
7. DL squezze AP (aiming point) to heals of OL.
8. Parallel stance and eyes inside looking for the elephants on parade or puller.
9. Identify puller and attack inside hip / inside thigh board with outside forearm.
10. Aggressively attack puller to the inside hip and thigh board
11. Result = creating a pile / canceling the gap inside / 2 for 1 on GT / forcing the RB to run the hump.
12. Allows LBs fast flow down hill to B, C or D gaps.
Spill technique is my preference.
Comments appreciated!

"Accordingly to clarify these significant points ... your resignation is withdrawn and your separation is converted to a termination with cause based on our finding that you failed to timely report certain conduct of a member of your staff, as required by your contract." Based on language in Pelini's contract, by being fired with cause he will not be paid by the university, but he also will not owe FAU any money, as he would have if his termination were considered a resignation. On Oct. 30, Pelini and defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis resigned. In a news conference that day, FAU athletic director Pat Chun said both coaches admitted to using "illegal drugs," which was in violation of their contracts. On. Nov. 7, Pelini told ESPN he denied using illegal drugs and that he was fo...
