How to Be Aggressive in Football

Video Transcript

"VINCENT JAMAL: I'm Vincent on behalf of Expert Village. Now, Bryan is a big strong guy and Chris is a big strong guy, too, so it's a great match up. So, he's really going to want to get into Chris'--into his body, especially on blocks and quick runs. So there's going to be some--where he's not going to necessarily need to crack. He's not going to stalk; he's just going to one-on-one the man in front of him. So we'll go about half speed; we'll just walk it out. He's going to get up into Chris, the ball snapped. He's going to get into his shoulder pads. There you go. And he can technically lift him up, somewhat. He doesn't want to drive him back so far to where he's going to get himself up a holding call, but what he definitely wants to do is make sure that he's on top of his man and that Chris has no leverage to come downfield and do that. He can also--let's go ahead and do that on the shoulder pads. Just drive him back from the shoulder pads. Set, hike...and just get into the man's shoulder pads and drive back. And as long as he can occupy that man when the ball is being run to his side or there's anything coming along that way, he wants to make sure that he stays aggressive as possible. Like I said, these receivers, they're extended linemen. Let's run it back one more time. Let's give it a real speed look. And go. Great block, aggressive. He pushed his man back and created room for whoever the ball carrier might be or just enough room for a pass to be delivered in his area."
