New Coach needs help with blocking

[Austinblackwell]

I am a second-year head coach and my biggest issue last year was blocking. We mostly run J-Bird in tight. I am wondering if anyone could help me by showing me what blocking schemes you would use against different defenses. Anything helps and thank you in advance.

I don't know anything, but the attached is from a legend.

Eyes straight, feet straight, good stance, fire off the ball. Won't give the play away to the defense. If your end is looking at his block, dead give-away where the play is going.

To teach every kid...average athlete to great a solid way to block:

BLOCKING THE OLD SCHOOL WAY

It may not be "en vogue" but is sure is effective.

 

[coachhilton]

Simplest way that we taught was "Gap, On, Area"

Get your base plays down like this and then go into more complex things. Teach your kids "if ball goes here...how do you think we should block it?"

 

[Techman32]

We always went gap first (duh), head up (helmet to helmet 2nd, off ball 3rd meaning backer, 4th was outside. We aleays kicked out, didn't hook so #4 was a called block. Unless you prefer hooking.

1. Heads up
2. Back-side Gap
3. 2nd level

This is what I use for 6man... Had some good O-line blocking While I was at Lutheran and Dallas Lakehill when we ran tight formations.

What???? Gap is always first bro...play goes right. You block left. Why leave the gap open? To get your QB killed lol.

Are you confused? When my lineman go to the line they read the defense. Is there anyone heads up? If no, next they look and see if anyone is backside gap, if yes they take the gap block… if neither are there then they know to go 2nd level with angle. The o-line tells my Q and Wing who to get. It’s simple 6man football.. 11man my blocking scheme would be different but this is a 6man site so I won’T go there.

If the play goes right and someone is heads up over my lineman they will fire step with right foot and turn defender left and drive left… if backside gap they firestep left foot and beat defender on snap and drive them out, if 2nd level linemen will zone block and turn butt to playside. It’s simple… I have EDD for this blocking scheme

Blocking is overrated, run routes instead

 

[CoachAnderson]

G - Gap
O - On
O - Over
D - Downfield

“Good” blocking

Hypothetically speaking. If you were running a tight "T" offense against a 4-2. Double gaps, outside DEs are outside eye or outside. Safety align accordingly. Play is sweep right. Who blocks who according to your blocking assignments listed?

Again, I don't know much but this is how we TRY to do it. (Willing to hear/see alternatives if it'll work better.)

Same. Only thing we did different was kickout the DE on the right side with the 2B and the 3B would cut in from that block, QB had Backer. We also ran power which the X would pull right off the center and he would also get the backer or anyone ahead. We'd let the backside DE free because we cut it up instead of push it outside . We did hook when it was called.

Hey coach, I sent you a message. Just send your e-mail if you are interested in anything that we may have here or things we have done in the past. We are certainly not of the caliber of a Vance Jones, but we have done some things we like schematically that we like. Take care and God bless my friend. Thank you for wanting to grow as a coach. The sixman coaching fraternity is the best.
