How to Jam The Receiver (Marcus Trufant)

Defensive Chair:
Before each play, "sit down" in your defensive chair. Knees bent, a slight lean forward with most of your weight on the balls of your feet. Your feet should be a little wider than shoulder-width. Don't place them too far apart or let your arms hang loosely. Keep your hands in a ready position, with your head up seeing the field.

Move Your Feet:
When the ball is snapped, most times the receiver is going to fire out off the line. So it's crucial that you move your feet and match his momentum. Keeping your feet moving will allow you to react quicker to changes in the receiver's direction, and put you in a better position to turn and run with him if need be.

Off-Hand Jam:
When the receiver is close enough to make contact, use your off-hand to give him a quick jolt to the shoulder. Your off-hand is the one opposite to the direction of his route. So if he breaks outside, give him a pop with your inside hand just enough to throw him a little off balance without giving up your body position.

Ruin the Route:
Once you've jammed the receiver at the point of contact, use your hands and body to ride the receiver off his route. But be careful not to grab his jersey or impede his progress directly. That will likely result in an a penalty. The goal is to force the receiver off his desired route, throwing off his timing with the quarterback.

can u be doing this pushing the WR touching the WR? wouldn't he be called for interference?

[davidzzz94]

@turuu214 any contact within 5 yards from the line of scrimige is legal, u can even take them down if u want, jaming is used to throw off the timing usually on blitzes so the QB needs to wait an extra 3-5 seconds before throwing the ball, but before he can, the pressure should have been there and made the sack

@turuu214 in high school there is no 5 yd rule, so you can do it until the ball is in the air.

[IskurBlast]

Nice point about opposite arm opposite foot. If you go same arm same foot the hips turn up field the receiver is gone.

[boongoon92]
