Understand your most important blocks From alignment standpoint and where do You go based off of it so we like to set Our linebacker back a little bit deeper Than the other backs because the salmon The will or if we just have a salmon Before in a 34 those guys are really Fill backs fill linebackers and they're Coming downhill as soon as they see Their block in order to fill the gap in And make a play the Mike linebacker Should set himself back a half yard from All the other linebackers no matter what The defense is that gives you the Ability to have vision and to work over The top and scrape based off of and Replace the Sam or the will linebacker Or a defensive lineman based off of what They do by setting yourself back a half Yard or so gives you a split second to Be able to feel the disappearance of Your teammates Jersey a color and be Able to come over the top of them okay Or if necessary if you're if your scheme Is an inside-out scheme to come Underneath that it's really important so The blocks that are really key here are You're gonna have a down block which Means you're working over to top as a Middle linebacker is a big difference Between a down bucket down buck is they Go down you work over the top of it okay A stretch or zone so you have a wide Zone or you could have an inside zone
And that dictates whether you're a slow Play or a fast play off of it and Dictates whether you're looking for a Run through or not we teach some things That are a little different we like to Be able to get downhill but some people Say hey press that gap that linemen and I then find the ball okay you have to be Able to recognize a pole by alignment And there's a down-the-line pole where They look at a kick-out or there's a Skip pole where they wrap around those Are those are both real easy so you see That you feel that you're going okay and Then the other things that you can get Is if you have a guy over you or you can Have a base block where they come Straight at you you have to be it Depending on your scheme on defense Either get by them or Shot them and then get to the bowl and Understanding those blocky schemes is Really really key to being able to be Very quick on your reads obviously pass Pro you see chest high kick slide or Even if you see chest high even if There's a slide protection that's Usually a pretty good indicator that It's passed it's important for the mic Bill read though those keys and to be Able to figure out where they got to go And your eyes then go to through that Triangle through the back and you feel Where that back is and then we always
Say hey you got to be like a running Back a linebacker When you see grass try to take it and Make that play alright and that allows You to be aggressive at the middle Linebacker position
