Explaining some of O-Line Techniques

[njvols]

Excellent.

Now the real test....

Can you explain the technique used by our DBs last season? (i.e. ignore the ball until the receiver catches it)

It's a technique used all over the country...by ex-DB coaches.

From what I could tell, if a defense made the right call we couldn't block them. It didn't matter who the team was, we couldn't block them.

I am interested to know that Coleman Thomas technique from early in last season. I think it's called rag doll. It's where the center stands straight up and allows the nose tackle to basically lift him off the ground, throw him left or right forward or backward, then immediately be on top of the RB or QB. From my understanding it will completely wear down a DL by late in the 4th Q. The best part is that it works equally well against power 5 or lower level talent. Not sure if we'll see that again this season or not?

I laughed hysterically at this comment!

I like Clemson's OL blocking technique. Guess it pays to recruit some OGs.

What happened to that old school technique where you knew who to block and you put them on there back three feet into the ground?
