ContinuedHANDS Hold your hands chest level in ice pick position. When defendercomes near we deliver a blow and continue to deliver blows until we hear the
whistle.
SHOULDERS A linemen's shoulders must remain parallel to the L.O.S. for aslong as possible. If they are not parallel you will not be able to stop the
defender from getting up field. Think of the wall as the L.O.S and the door as
a lineman. When the door is parallel with the wall the door is closed and no
one can get in. When the door is not parallel it is open and people can get in.
Turning your shoulders will also shorten the path to the QB. So often a tackle
has a fast speed rusher to the outside. He is afraid he will get beat around
the corner so he turns his shoulders thinking this will help when actually it
aids the speed rusher. If the defender makes a move back to the inside when
you have turned your shoulders you must drop your inside foot back whichopens the door to the QB. Keep your shoulders parallel.
CHIN Pull your chin in against your chest when you punch. This will helpprevent you from overextending.

PassProtectionFundamentals
ContinuedMOVEMENT You must be able to move and change directions quickly and at the sametime maintain your demeanor. For example, if you are moving to your outside to cover up
your target and you take a step with your right foot and then your target moves back inside
your next step can not be with your left foot. If it is, you will have to drop your left foot
back, opening the door to the QB. Your footwork must be right , right, left, and right. If you
move to your outside to cover up your target by taking a right step then a left and yourtarget moves back to the left your next steps would be left, right or you will narrow your
base to much. Remember we must always step parallel to the L.O.S. when we move to the
inside. We can give ground to the outside particularly at the tackle position. Whenever
giving ground to the outside, we must widen the defender.
TARGET We must have a target on our pass protection. Most of the time our target willbe a small area slightly inside or slightly outside the midline of the defender. This will
enable us to cover up the defender keeping him from getting up the field. If we took a
target directly down the midline we would be suspect to a quick inside move or a quick
outside move. By moving our target slightly off the midline, we eliminate the potential to be
beat with a quick move to that side.
PUNCH The power from our punch must come from the Lats. The punch itself will onlytravel six inches. Make contact with the heel of the hand instead of a flat palm. The heel
will serve as a more penetrating punch. If you pull your chin in against your chest it will
keep you from lunging. The punch should travel slightly upward in direction. The tackles
should use a one handed punch vs. a speed rusher. A good punch becomes more critical asthe defenders become bigger and more powerful. A good punch is penetrating and slows
the pass rush. We will strive to punch and lock out.
