How to Play Center in Football : How To Make A Cut Block On The Lineman Or Linebacker

[cameronfuQ]

u dont crawl u go right threw them and brake there knees

[JaMusic401]

does this video really deserve a fucking commercial

[matt141989]

these should be illegal

[footballplyer73]

forget that shit i just knock the fuck ouut of ppl

[Chris79ktown]

isnt that a flag?

[CaniohApps]

@Chris79ktown not in NFL, but in college I believe it is, yea!

[Knightro66]

I was taught to rolll at the legs not bear crawl and it would be much eaiser to have a gaurd pull to pick that specific block up.

[churupitaa]

Try to cut me, and you'll have yr head into the ground.

yeah, Get it on the floor ♪ fuckerr...

[bea27997]

I think that you need to have self-confidence thinking you are going to knock the guy down playing this sport. But is not about killing the guy is about bringing the guy down. I mean you want to smash the guy but you dont want to kill him. That's what my coach told me.

[goodmaro]

Currently allowed in NCAA but not Federation rules as described, because the LB wasn't on the line of scrimmage when the ball wass snapped. However, if the initial point of contact is moved up just a little, to the waist, it's OK in both rules sets. As actually executed, the crab block will hit initially at the waist anyway.

[lsizzle4rizzle]

lol whyd they get all dressed up if all theyre gnna do is walk thru it

[SuperJNLS]

wtf that not leagel thats a plenty

[titletownkid]

Very Clueless...this coach has no idea about oline play! Never throw yourself into a crab block into the 2nd level. Only maybe at 1st level defenders.

[donesixfour]

u cant really cut block off the line of scrimmage... thats hella illegal unless the linebacker is blitzing or charging the line of scrimmage.

[avalos54]

theres nothing expert about expert village

[JosephSeall]

WTH you dont scoot in a four point stance to chop block

[Christianmarquez]

Cut blocking really means you don't know how to block imo...

[rambo7276]

@Christianmarquez you must not have played much football imo

[Christianmarquez]

@rambo7276 The only time cut blocking is acceptable is if you're stopping a pull from counter action, or if you're a line backer and you want to create a pile on a run play.

If you're a Running back, do you want the Center to cut the Nose and create a pile, or drive and make a hole?

[rambo7276]

@Christianmarquez if you are running a pop pass or a quick slant, you need to eliminate the dlineman from putting up his hands up and knocking the ball down. also cutting helps when blocking the front side of a play if you have a man you need to block on your play side shoulder. i understand your last point though, i never did a cut block if the RB/FB was running in the 0-2 holes.

[Xizor8213]

The "bear crawl" cut-block is a great play to use if you not only have players who can perform it properly, & you know when to use it. It is used optimally with the weak-side guard on either an outside zone play or a toss play in the opposite direction to maintain contact & prevent penetration on the weak-side. Expert Village has no clue what it's talking about. You don't block downfield on a pass play. Also, you have to throw your backside arm through his legs & crawl your way to the play-side

[etpie]

lineman must be directly in front under nfhs rules. this guy is a dumsh it.

[EfEdHhH]

Why would the center go up field on a passing play? That's a penalty: Ineligible receiver downfield...

[StraightEdgeSkaterr]

wtf u dont go upfield in a pass play dumbass,expertvillage needs some real experts,also,bearcrawl? we dont block with that we block normaly,the linbacker could just get around u quick

[CooperTexasCooki]

bear crawl??? i dont think so....its more like throw your body weight into his knees

[Phildady13]

Its a passing play, u cant go upfield... this guy is no expert

[traxxas1234567890]

that center is to small when i played high school football i was 240lb and 5,8 feet tall

[Phildady13]

@traxxas1234567890 ikr, im 6'0 and weigh 285, center is the bomb

[iamcool346]

@Phildady13 Damn you a big boy, i would hate to be nose tackle up against you

[Phildady13]

@iamcool346 ya man thanks cant wait to get on varsity

[rfputah]

You can absolutly cut below the waiste if on the initiall charge at the snap four yards on either side of the center.

[patchlink]

being a center is a compliement i play rb and nfl even said themselves nowadays its harder to find a better center than a qb center has to handle the strongest, baddest, biggest dude on the other team who takes up 2 gaps (nose tackle) when dt and de usually take up one gaps then u have to be smart to call out the blitz and shit and not only dat you gotta take out the MLB (most atheltic dude on defense) and the nose tackle (strongest) so yeah its not easy playing center thought it was its not

[GOYouthFootball]

This is all wrong! It is not a Cut block. What this video is showing is a running crab block.... maybe?!? And did I hear the coach say this was to get the Center involved in the passing game? For him to "go up-field" and cut block a linebacker?

What football rules are they playing under?

[CLEMboi123]

i have never learned to make a cut block like this. i am a full back and a tight end. i also play linebacker. when i want to cut block, i was taught to stick my helmet and shoulder into his playside knee and role under the defender to make him fall or flip over me even if it doesnt work, it still slows the defender down.

[MrClutch55]

Question i never really played football but everyone all my life told me i should play it because i have always been a big kid right now im currently in high school and im 15 years old and 6'5 weighing about 330 lbs and i can run pretty fast what postion should i play?

[bosmustang10]

i would say a guard center or a tackle

[crazycow186]

definently On the line you would be a monster

[Darrsupply]

id say pretty good tackle he wouldnt let those endds get around very easily

[Gibbs2470]

im a 5'10" 175 lb center...i LIVE off the cut block..lol

[funkychicken93]

a center should not cut block and i repeat a center should not cut block it just opens a giant hole for the LB

[GaltGhost55JB]

LOL nice

[supernerdyify]

cuts block in my opinion are a weak man's attack. it means they can't block up high.

[quangphangbang]

the whole point of the cut block is to block somebody wen its not possible to hit them in the front or do that effectively

[hcaz9592]

I guess cut blockes are good and bad because you can leave a big hole for defence to sack the QB

[jpmont11]

in our school we aim for the knees and make them fall hard.

[dillon1278]

Prepare to get called for penalties. No cuts below the waste.

[jpmont11]

never gotten a penalty called for cutting ever.

[dillon1278]

You have some pretty blind refs then.

[madeinamerica650]

Hell if that center makes that cutblock right the linebacker will be stopped in his tracks. No bear crawl needed!

[ShAwNfAn190]

lol i may be the skinniest center in history 5'6 and i weigh 105 pounds

[fishy61]

wow thats a tiny center, I would light him up

[sourfacekid]

i cant help but think cut blocks are cheap. and a center low cutting leaves a hole for a LB too.

I just wondered how to do one, just like I thought head in thigh area. I'll use this if i cant get my feet to drive

[yuabonuga]

cut block is good only if u can't handle nose tackle :D

[CCDHS72]

thats a bad move b/c if the person you intend on hitting in the thigh sees you coming he can simply rip you away.

[rambo7276]

im assuming this coach has about 0 state titles.

[CCDHS72]

yea i agree forget that bear crwaling bullcrap, just ram your helmet into the guys knee. it will have a better chance of slowing the linebaker down and he'll think twice about pursuing with a head full of fire next time the offense runs the ball (unless he's a crazy s.o.b on a suicide mission) lol

[madeinamerica650]

Yea that bear crawl is crap. But if you don't want to hit em with the helmet you can alway just drive the shoulder into the inside of the knee. That will drop em.

[SES4L]

fuck that driving shit, put that helmet in their knee pad and cut em real bad. some call it pussy, but where im from, its simply down and dirty smashmouth football.

[cornhusker20]

@SES4L agreed man i cut down a bunch guys doing that today in my game

[Stephthatackle]

@SES4L Thats dirty. Cut them at the ankles or hips. You can kill somebodys career hitting them in the knee...

[Stephthatackle]

@SES4L And try that shit wit somebody like me. If i catch you slippin on the cut block imma stomp your knee as hard as i can in my way into the backfield.

[TheBilbo91]

@SES4L

u are the shit! down and dity, thats how its done!

[ArnorvTheMilky]

i need some help. i was kicked off the team in the summer for bad grades my previous year. is there anyway i can get back on this year? i kno i wont be starting or anything, but it would be an honor to be back on it

[elementskater94]

talk with the coach

make him a deal if that u make good grades u can play

[MaxIsBuff14]

wtf is he trying to teach u your suppose to drive through the damn linebacker and do not stop untill they are down.

[lifevest1]

My coach would shoot me if I did this. I think any decent linebacker would know to "GET OUT OF THE WAY!" I'll be playing center next year, i doubt ill be doing this.

[augieman14]

so what if your 5'7 im 5'8 you have low man advantage so take the big guy andblock his ass you whimp

[badbrain88]

it is true ,low man advantage can fuck people up !!

[Kunuie]

well ur a both retarded to say "man up" cause if ur small like me im 5'7 and i play o-line (btw i weigh 170) i bench at most 165. so im not that big or strong. so if ur up against a huge kid thatz just gonna push u around u gotta cut block him. though dont get me wrong u cant cut block all the time.

[Rexicans]

i played center for 1 year and most of the time the defense blitz and i would just get low and knock them on there ass like eagle said MAN UP!!!!!!!!!

[Eagles50phil]

fck a cut block! JUS MAN UP AND TAKE ON THE LB OR DT!! PUT THEM ON THERE ASS!!

[CCDHS72]

hell yea dude

[Paigey3rox]

you retard

[SmokeyBacon11941113]

thats not how you cutblock. cut blocks are gay. i play center and never cutblock!

[boovy123]

i never cut block either.....shit is effective

when ur playing a 6'6ft 6'7ft pointer

[BlackUzumaki]

first of all centers aren't supposed to cut block it open up a hole for the Lb and second of all if cut blocks are so gay and you don't use them why the hell did you watch this vid?

[KSX928]

haha i agree that was fuckin funny

[The99Nerds]

@BlackUzumaki what the hell is wrong with you??

[superman2canes]

thats called a crab block not a fucking bear crawl

[DDazzle1]

i think only small guys like halfbacks should cut block

[big68whit]

shit i am 6'4 310, and a beast, but when my guard pulls i always fill by cutting the dude, that shit works

[motormike44]

this guys a douche....cut blocks r for line man who r too pussy to actually block the guy

[spike09500]

no actually cut blocks are for taking out the guy usually at the line of scrimmage and idf theres only one guy and if hes in the open field you want to take his legs out and make sure hes out of the play its not whether your a pussy or not its whether you are smart or dumb

[ElPolloLuchador]

No cut blocks are for the lineman who wants to indimidate or hurt the enemy team

[Cwood2663]

too pussy!!!! that pisses me off sooo bad. i am a offensive tackle and i cut block all the time. ok say ur a lot stronger than me. and every play u fire off the ball and run me over when i trie to hit u.about the 3rd time u do that see wat happens. ask wayne countys d end wat happens. ull get ur knee hyperextended.he can call me a pussy all he wants but im not the one wit hthe hyperextende knee no am i?

[Croat013]

this guys an idiot what the hells he talking about bear crawl into him haha ive never seen that kind of a cut block before in my life

[greasynigga]

this guy is a fucking idiot

bearcrawl into him!

just blow his knees up and you wont have to worry about him anymore

[FamilyManMFH91]

agree...he lost me at bear crawl

[brettfavrefan1]

What the heck bear crawl. What you should do is get a running start and hit them on their butt so you can continue running with the runningback and help block for him.

[killu19]

wow dude i can tell you've never played football

[wanlash2]

what the guy means is, on a pass play, the linebacker is gonna try and find the hole to get the the QB, which means hes going to the side of the C, so its almost like taking out there legs. And its not going "up field" cause on a pass play the linebacker has to pursue the QB. Also, Lineman can go up 5 yards on a Pass play, and as many as they want on a Run play.

[ladylaila21]

wow u cant go up field and hit a linbacker on a pass play are u a fucking moron?

[arebel54]

wow.. they suk. fuk that bear crawling shit! u wanna hear a pop in their knee cap wen u cut their ass!

[Eagles3232]

if you enjoy broken ribs... do it the way this guy says

[Willox33]

thats possibly the stupidest thing ive seen... bear crawl wtf

[jrock27127]

i kno rite. u betta ram dat mutha fucka

[Drake3xavid]

they jus dont want you diving STRAIGHT for the knees cuza injury but theyr jus trying not to coach youtube how to take out knees even though diving is what most lineman do

[jrock27127]

yea i kno. but still 'BEAR CRAWL' i never ever heard any coach say dat. not even a pop warner coach.. bear crawl. psh

[Nobarkinfromthedogs]

what do your coaches call it?

[jrock27127]

he jus say get on fo's. all fours. so it must really be called bear crawl but i never heard a coach say it. and i meant no coach said bear crawl into someone to block em.

[BlackUzumaki]

i agree bearcrawling will get you fucked up or make you look bad when cut block i hit then roll it may sound stupid but I've gotten some strong guys with this technique

[backer02]

must be in only america but i know that linemen cant cut block off 1 yard of the line
