Tackle Sets - 4 sets (Jump/Quick/45/Vertical) - JS eat up space attack inside out, (visual we say is smell their breath, close that much space) heavy inside hand to stop inside rush, strong outside hand blow to widen rush, outside shoulder target if swing/bubble to protect throw - QS... flat as possible want to cover ground quick get in their face but play longer than JS - 45 base Set, set them on angle to defeat speed & knock them outside create wide dish, take an angle to take them off their rush, still heavy inside hand focus to take away b gap rush - Vertical when expecting true speed or twist, create initial space, talk about first big kick then settle pace to match theirs - stay square, turn shoulders when they do but always maintain leverage - General aiming points your near hand to their far armpit, inside hand heavy catch hand (think grab bicep/tricep if inside move) - two hand punch heavier inside near armpit pec location for inside hand - will drill in pre practice the set tree and in practice partner rush where dl will get 2 to 3 rushes on you and OL has to do different set each time rapid fire - Great job by these guys #5STRONG #BIGDAWGSshow more

Are you only teaching the two hand punch or is it just in certain situations? Any unilateral punching technique?

Definitely teach both. Thicker cover we get on guys the more like 2 hand punch but the inside hand can be used to grab defender outside bicep/tricep shoulder area to prevent inside rush rather than down his chest. Do a lot of indy hands in base pass pro.

This is outstanding Indy work for tackles, coach. Would you be willing to share the clinic video with audio? Our guys could totally benefit from much of this. We were just discussing these sets this morning as we started camp.

Hey coach just pulled these clips from my laptop when in the airport other day so its not from a clinic. But I'll shoot you dm with some audio explaining it later if that works

Love your stuff coach. Always full of content.

Coach I really enjoyed listening to yours the other week.

Hey coach , in your opinion , should I teach both jump and quick sets or could I get away with just choosing one

Hey coach the quick set is little easier to recover since your staying square better position with feet to recover. So if you don't get lot of time with the guys that's the one I'd encourage. Push that to my freshman more early on.
