Didn't extend his arms to create the separation so he could see the back.

Here's a tip for y'all.... Its not how they're stacking and shedding their blocks.

And if anyone remembers, I've stated how it's one of my biggest pet peeves in a linebacker.

They didn't contact Schumann to teach the drill?

Again, nothing to do with how they took on the block.

He false stepped guys. That's what I was referring to, and something that I cannot stand to see in a linebacker.

First I have been on since Saturday night. Agree, a false step leads to all kinds of pursuit and angle problems with a LB'er.

What is a false step?

 

[Crimson&WhiteGecko]

What is a false step?

The first indicator that the LB read his assignment wrong because his first step reflected the wrong read. As such, he is now behind on his pursuit for the tackle. Outside of the willing, dare I say love of contact, this is a crucial indicator of an elite LB versus an average LB.

Wasn’t even watching the feet, I was looking to the coaches mostly….

Funnily enough, they released practice footage from today. Watched it, then they got to the ILB's block shedding drill. Love this drill by the way, they'll have the linebacker set up presnap as he usually would be, about 4-5 yards back from the 4i technique DE. They're usually lined up to the inside of the DE's barring what the offense runs, or if the defense decides to stunt their D-line. Then they'll take their read step, scrape downhill while keeping their eyes up and their hips and shoulders square while maintaining a low base, shoot their hands inside violently and use their hips to generate that power and knock back when taking on a block, should still have their eyes up and arms extended after stacking the blocker, see where the ball carrier is going, shedd off the block and finish on the balls carrier by hitting him with your inside shoulder and wrapping him up for the tackle. All those things is why I love this drill..... know what I don't love? Watching Lawson and Hill-Green false step. One of the most basic things a Linebacker can do fundamentally, and they're still doing it. That shit is infuriating. Just skip to the ILB drill and you'll see it.

I absolutely despise bad Linebacker play, and we've been seeing it in all areas since last year, on the field, and in practice. Makes me sick to watch this shit.

The despicable false step. It’s blasphemous to the art of defense!

Anytime I see it, I go into hysterical anger.
