WR Blocking
If you are running the ball inside, motion one of your WR's inside the box to act as another lead blocker. If you can get this WR to block a D lineman or LB, you should get a soild run play. Make sure you are using a good, big, WR when you do this. Posey, Shipley, Nelson, whoever, look at strength, awareness, run blocking ability, and size. WR blocking is an important aspect of the game even when you do not motion him inside the box. If you are running a play to the outside like a sweep, stretch, or option, don't be afraid to swap your best blocking WR to the play side. On run plays WR's are like extra lineman, they can be the difference in making that big run.

ReplyDeleteyeah, he's the number 2 WR for alabama. didn't play any in real life but he's on the game. running sets with both of them on the same side of the field works really well.
