The Roll Block

This block is used when a small back, in particular, is trying to block a true end or corner man on the ground.

Approach:

1. Aim for a spot about a yard in front and outside of the man to be blocked.

2. Run low and hard at spot.

Contact:

1. With the head pointed at the outside hip of the defensive man, the blocker will get about a yard and a half from him. As the blocker springs, he will drop his inside shoulder and turn his head down and to the outside.
