You've heard it just like I have.
Jones! What's that guy doing in my backfield?
You know we can't win many games with a defensive tackle always causing problems.
So how do we remedy the problem?
Here's a quick tip on successful blocking habits. Pick a target first. No, not just a person.
It won't do you any good to just be a "head hunter". The point is imagine a target on their chest and aim for that. Don't get caught up looking them in the eyes. Don't think you will be able to see their eyes to tell where they are going. Get your face mask and your hands to their chest as quickly as possible, because all the moves a defensive player has are lead in direction by his chest. Also if you are a running back as well the linebacker coming at you is going a hundred miles an hour and you have to stop him. Explode into him, get your hands to his chest and get your head just under his chin. Once you are able to do this, he will go in the direction his head takes him. Use these tactics and strategies to blocking and you will be successful more times than not.
Consistency is the key in the long term and only practice will continue to make you consistent.
Now get out there put it to good use.
