Top 5 most viewed tips of 2021
Every day I send out a "hot tip" covering some aspect of D-Line. Below are the top 5 most popular from 2021.
#1: Coach Johnson with some great tips on hand placement, eyes and violence when hand fighting (link to post)
#2 How Vita Vea runs the TEX stunt...THREAD (link to post)
#3: How Aaron Donald defeats trap...THREAD (link to post)
#4: The New York Giants sprinkle outside zone blocking into their 1-on-1 pass rush period to make the drill like the game.
The OL is pass setting or working to reach. The DL is rushing or maintaining gap responsibility. (link to post)
#5: Don't be satisfied with tackles. Turnovers give your offense the ball and can change the course of the game.
Here's a drill to practice this by securing the tackle and either raking or punching out the ball. (link to post).
That's all for this week folks. Again thank you all for the support and just wait till you see what I got in store for 2022!!
