Most D-Linemen Don’t Know Their Power Hand 🤚
This is non-negotiable for my 1-gap guys.
Inside hand to the sternum.
That’s your power hand.
You are striking through the man.
Not to him.Through him.
Your outside hand attacks the bicep.
Capture it. Control it.
👇 All while:
Eyes stay below the O-lineman’s chin.
Feet are running on contact.
No stopping.
No catching.
From there, you peek.
Strong base.
Like you’re squatting 600 pounds.
Arms extended.
Still owning the man.
Now you find the ball carrier.
Now you make the play.
But it all starts here.
That sternum punch.
That violent strike through your visual key.
Attack first.
Control second.
Play third.
👇 A drill I use with my guys to train this
👇 And a live clip of attack, run your feet, and peek done right
