[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 835962, member: 265"] [I]I[/I] was thought to do that in high school if I missed a direct hit. Hit the ground and roll into the opposing DL. And keep rolling. Oh, and whip your legs into him. Luckily, whipping became illegal by the time I got to college. But that wasn't what our OL blocking in those days was supposed to do. Here's a film on the drills Tech used for OLs: [MEDIA=youtube]HcrOMavDxeM[/MEDIA] [I]Warning[/I]: this is 15 minutes long and only of technical interest. This is how I was taught to block back then as well, btw; keep low and hit as hard as you can. (Our drills were, of course, much less sophisticated.) It was the decision to allow OLs to hold - as long as you don't grab their jerseys except quickly, of course - that changed that. Watching our OL block used to be one of the main reasons I went to Tech games. Not so much now, of course. [/QUOTE]
