BOTH players must have
his eyes on the MLB, but
FEEL for the 3 Tech in case
of a slant, as shown above,
the Center has to pick him
up. The RG FEELS him go
away and now works to the
MLB, who his eyes are
already on.
With both Center and RG’s eyes locked
on the MLB, they know they are
responsible for both defenders.
Switch Pull/Trap
Throw elbow, open chest direction of pull, Snap Eyes onto Target, Hall Ass down the line, ready for potential Trap Block if Target is Blitzing.
Bucket Crossover

moving, Wide Base, slide with Defender.
Attitude, Set the Tone Deliver DL into the ILB Both players “feel” first
level and “see” second level
