Sorry if my terminology is wrong. I try to learn about the game but still don’t know very much.
*edit* I felt bad I've been trying to answer this since yesterday morning but work and life got in the way.
I was just playing man. I talk a lot of **** but would never make fun of someone who's genuinely trying to discuss, learn or just talk about football. Its only sports not that important. I'm constantly asking questions and bothering people smarter than me trying to learn.
I think a shuck is a push off of an OL’s hand/arm during the rush. Sometimes two hands are used. It’s the “quick swipe” you’re referring to, or so I thought until you set me straight.
No it very well could be called another name and I just wasn't aware of it.
A rip is the DL use of an opposite shoulder and arm up and under the OL’s shoulder and arm so the DL can lever himself around the OL. Or at least I thought so, until I read your insightful analysis and explanation. Now I’m not so sure.
Yea I think we're on the same page here.
As you'll see hesitation plays a big part in Uche "winning" It really helps even the playing field in terms of weight, weight distribution etc He likes to get his man off balance and will play off it. He comes in hot like he's bull rush then takes advantage of his man trying to regain his balance and uses a."snatch" type move. Snatch is kind of how it sounds, kind of a push pull move. Offensive lineman mostly tackles use it as well in a "snatch n trap" Smith from the Cowboys has a good one. Slow motion helps a lot! Anyway you can see Uche's right hand kind of yank the tackle down even though he doesn't get a fistful of jersey
Around 53 you see what the hesi moves can do. They freeze, get you off balance, again this kind of even up the playing field. If you've ever heard of rushing 1/2 man, this is kind of the same thing. Attack half the man as opposed taking on the guy who's probably bigger than right down the middle. Just helps even the weight disadvantage among other things.
Here you'll see the double swipe followed by the rip. Again I think we're on the same page. I just think it looks like an uppercut kind of motion.
You really know a lot about football! After Patfranken, who has probably forgotten more than I’ll ever know, you might be the most knowledgeable person on the Board! Where did you play/coach DL/OL?
I actually never played a down of football in my life. Grew up playing hockey and basketball. I made it a point to follow just a few guys to really focus on certain things. I learned a ton from guys like Justis Mosqueda, Diante Lee, Charles McDonald and a few others. They did it the right way and really climbed the ladder. Younger guys that started coaching very young. Very very smart guys like PFK.
And again I ask a ton of questions. I really don't use Twitter anymore except to keep up with trends and find info. If you looked at my DM's though it's like 30 different ones. All asking different stuff. How does a LB fit the run in this coverage? What's the coaching points for this technique? I try to ask as many questions as I can.
