1. Split the linebacker right down the middle with initial block.
2. Thrust the body forward and upward, hit the linebacker on the rise and elevate the shoulders on contact.
3. Strike the blow with a low fundamental position, hit with forehead and forearm.
4. Make contact off top of the feet. Keep the feet underneath the blocker, thus making it impossible for the blocker to follow-through properly if he lunges or leaves his feet before or while making contact.
Follow Through:
1. As soon as contact is made with the linebacker, continue the leg drive. The initial blow should knock him off balance and the leg drive should keep him this way.
2. Keep the weight into the linebacker.
3. Gain position follow through. The blocker should continue to strive for position to eliminate any possibility of the linebacker being in on the tackle downfield.
