Blocking Families 

Glad you like it!

I’m glad you liked it coach! Was it anything specific that you connected or it just overall was an “aha” type thing?

Here are some more of my platforms: Website: www.theassistantcoach.net Facebook: facebook.com/TheAssistantCoach1 Twitter: @Assist_Coach1 Instagram: the_assistantcoach instagram.com/the_assistantcoach/ CoachTube: coachtube.com/users/theassistantcoach You may find some more good things there. Also, I’ve made a sort of beginner course for coaching OL coachtube.com/course/football/coaching-offensive-line-the-essentials/6640548?track=4fdc64b560077d13a235f1f53d09d01d I would also check out anything you can find from the following coaches: Bob Wylie, Jim McNally (he is eccentric but a genius), and Paul Alexander. These three are some of the most influential coaches on OL play in my opinion. LeCharles Bentley has a good platform with some very good teaching resources as well. I would check out The COOL clinic. (COOL Coaches Of Offensive Linemen) On there website you can buy older clinic tapes for cheaper but it will have several of the guys I mentioned above. As far as quick guard/tackle, that is used in some offenses to designate pullers because they are usually smaller. The other side would be the strong side because they are usually bigger and maybe less nimble. They would typically flip sides based on play call. So, for example, on power, your strong side guys always double team and block down and your quick guard always pulls. Not every offense is set up in that manner. Lastly, here is my email if you have some more questions cody@theassistantcoach.net I know this is a lot but I really hope this helps!

I appreciate that. For me it is 2 main things: 1) Buck pulls play side and backside OL whereas pin usually is just play side 2) Buck in a (traditional sense) usually has a misdirection or crossing action in the backfield, ie “cross buck” and pin usually doesn’t have that action. Both aiming points for the backs are similar, they typically read whomever is the first puller and make their move off of that block.

Yes. NFL centers are usually more capable pullers. It’s hard to pull and snap. They would do this just because of 1) angles or 2) covered/uncovered rules in their scheme.

@@theassistantcoach Thank you coach. I appreciate it.

Sorry. It was just easiest to make the point I was going for with that front. In truth, some plays are better vs some fronts and this is an example. If you wanted it from a 4 man, it would be best with an on the line TE because you would need the TE to block on, T to block down on a 3, C to block back on the nose and then your guards could pull.

@@theassistantcoach I totally agree, but sometimes youjust need to be able to run it against unfavorable fronts. On our level (germany senior amateurs) we can't be picky. ;)

@@theassistantcoach I know it's a tough one, and I play really low level Football (german senior amateur), but we run Sweep from 20 personal, because we do one formation offense on purpose. ;)
