Exercise: Speed Rush

<< PREV     NEXT >>

Use when the tackle sets to your inside.
• Assume proper stance and alignment
• When ball is snapped, explode out of stance, stepping forward with ball-side leg
• Take second step; then on third step, plant ball-side foot and lower body while ripping and driving ball-side arm up through tackle
• Rip down with ball-side arm and throw outside arm around tackle
• Step with outside foot to square hips toward QB

Variation: Instead of throwing outside arm around tackle, use both hands to grab and throw the tackle’s arms off you

Allen’s advice: Throw your outside arm like you’re swinging at somebody. Make sure you’re constantly moving toward the quarterback.
