Same block, but with a designated side before the snap: the defender must be pushed outward or inward, depending on the call. On the field, the block is never about holding the defender anywhere; it’s about holding him on the right side.
Key points
- The angle of approach is everything: position yourself on the side you want to protect before contact.
- Turn your head and shoulders toward the side you’re closing off, and let your feet follow.
- The call comes at the last moment, to force the read.
- Eight repetitions, four on each side.
Common mistakes
- Arriving square and deciding afterward: by then, the defender is the one choosing.
- Closing the right side but opening the opposite hip by turning too early.
