Alright D-Line family, Let’s talk about one of the most important skills in your pass rush toolbox: 👉 The inside counter off the long arm. You’ve hit the long arm. You’ve walked the OL back. Now what? That’s where the real magic happens — when you react, read, and finish with the inside move. Let’s break it down 👇 🔹 The Setup: The Long Arm Before we even talk counter, let’s get the long arm right. ✅ We’re aiming for the sternum or inside pec ✅ We strike with violence and full extension ✅ And we match our hand with our foot — inside hand + inside foot, at the same time No slow punches. No lazy placement. You’re not “putting” your hand on him—you’re punching through his chest. And if your lower body isn’t coming with it? You’re at 50% power. Don’t be that guy. Stay low. Stack him. Eyes below the chin. Drive. Control. 🔹 The Problem: You Won’t Always Get the Sack Right There Sometimes, you won’t walk him back into the QB’s lap. He’ll sit or you’ll overpower him past the pocket. That’s when you’ve got a choice: ❌ Panic and run by ✅ React and COUNTER INSIDE 🔹 Timing Is Everything This is where a lot of rushers mess up. You don’t counter inside too early — or you haven’t sold anything. You don’t counter inside too late — or you’re past the QB and out of the play. You need to hit QB depth, force the OL into recovery mode, and THEN hit him with the inside counter before he resets. It’s a split-second read—but when done right, it’s deadly. 🔹 How to Counter Inside: The Mechanics ✅ Push off your outside foot — don’t try to drive inside with your inside foot. It’s weak. You need that outside leg to create power into the B-gap. ✅ Use your outside hand to eliminate his inside hand That’s your key to clearing the path. You can go: 🔁 Chop + Rip 🔁 Arm Over 🔁 Swim + Lean Whatever’s natural for you — but make it violent and tight. You’re not jumping over a hurdle. You’re slipping through a crack. 🔹 The Sweet Spot Lean into your long arm — but not so far that you’re off-balance.
