WHITEPOINTWOLVERINES RB PRACTICE

RUN BLOCK: Used against a LB/DL, this block is an explosion into a defender. Come under control. Take an aiming point down the center of the defender and get your pads lower than his. Punch up and through the breast plate of the defender and run over him. Pad level must be lower than defender, and you must aim and deliver through -- not to -- the defender.

Progression Drills: Breakdown each part of the drill. As player’s technique improves, shorten the time between commands.
