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.

Welker & Amendola find New Homes

Welker to the Broncos & Amendola to the Patriots Well, Tom Brady restructures his contract to provide cap space for the Patriots to resign Wes Welker.  All indications were that Brady would keep his go to WR now that the money space was available.  How free agency can change.  Belichick has always operated as if players other than Brady were moving parts.  He has for the most part been right on the moves he has made.  Losing Welker is a risky move.  Welker may not be the type of guy that Belichick traditionally operates with.  Last year Welker spoke out against the Patriots and Belichick during his hold out and many including me thought the Patriots would part ways with Welker.  They franchised him last year and Welker responded with another 100+ receiving year.  Now, Belichick, Brady and now Josh McDaniels know how to maintain a roster and they certainly know how to put points up and win football games.  Welker has been the re...

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....
