| FTBL Shaun Dion-Hamilton block shedding technique.

[Scrape&Search1032]

Watch how Hamilton takes on the lineman on this play. Keeps his shoulders and hips squared, shoots his hands inside, and knocks him back. Maintained low pad level whole play through. Notice how he uses his lower body to generate power when taking on the blocker, and always has his head up so he can look for the ball carrier. Hamilton initiates the contact on this play, a lot of times Linebackers will wait on a blocker before initiating with them.... that typically doesn't end well. This was a great sequence from Hamilton. Excellent technique, and I absolutely love the physicality he displayed when taking on the blocker. Having a linebacker that knows how to use his hands, and is violent with them when using them.... is a beautiful thing.

It did not hurt that 54 was managing to keep two players from getting a clean shot on Hamilton. You know they were doing their job. Kept the lineman from generating more power so Hamilton could more easily shed the block.
