@OverDrive194 how bout you leave the teaching to americans okay?

[sliceobread]

if anyone wants to be good at block as a wr do this....

run out to him and whatch which way his cut first dont force him where u want tho. then we he goes to the left or right of you just put both ur hands on the side of his pads and push it works every time. usually it will knock them over depending how hard u push his pads up

ya well it ain that easty when the cornerbacks can just grab your jersey and use your momentum to throw you, i dont know about your guys DB's but with mine if i try to puch forward on them, they just grab my jersy and throw, i gatta stay low and with them not force them backwards

@sliceobread wait so i dont understand, lets say they cut left do i hit his pads on the right side from my perspective?? or do i just keep hitting him and force him in?

@sliceobread Thanks for the tips bro, never got taught that. I know how to hold the pads but never thought of cutting first

To block effectively, place yourself in between the DB and the ball carrier. Don't block him right off the line because then the DB will then know there is a run coming this way, therefore you are blocking him. Fake like your running a deep route, but always stay in front of the DB and don't run past him. When he figures out it's a run and tries to get past you, give him a good push, forcing him inside if the play is going out, and vice versa. After the initial contact, continue to push him back

@swaggaholic120 i know how u feel bro im WR i have trouble blocking and takin those massive hits as soon as u get the ball will hurt...just remeber as u c the ball coming scan the area if ur surrounded keep ur eyes on the ball catch it tuck it in then curl up in2 a ball and take the hit if not then catch it tuck and turn up field...ur upperbody can take the hit its ur lower body that hurts more...

[OverDrive194]

i play in canada as a wide out, when you block, you just wanna drill him when you make contact, knock him on his ass if you can, then hold him up, this is the panzy way. plus we run 80% running plays at Junior level, this would get you murdered

this guy dosen't even know football if u block the guy on the numbers and he turns ur allowed to continue blocking and shoving his back or shoulder pads or wherever if u don't start off blocking his front then ya its a hold. and thats the worst block i've ever seen u have to get lower, ur legs produce more strength.
