Stalk Block

The MAJOR point of emphasis for the WR's was Stalk Blocking, so here goes:
  1. After bursting off the L.O.S. the WR needs to breakdown about 4-yds. from the DB
  2. The WR must NEVER lose ground or he will get his knees rolled up by onrushing players and be gone for the season/career
  3. The WR keeps his shoulders square, do NOT turn sideways and "open the gate" for the DB to make the play easily on the ball carrier. The WR must be a wall
  4. Once the WR locks his hands onto the DB he must Drive the DB in/out or back, etc.
  5. Lastly, it is Good to reward players for solid stalk blocking and POINT it out on film study with group.
