PASS SET PUNCH
Often times the core fundamentals of execution are lost in everyday practice. Here is an overview of an offensive line tactic designed to reset the pass rusher, and fundamentally assist in protecting the quarterback.
1. Hands must come up from the ground not from the hips, on set. Get hands up to eye level with the thumbs up and elbows slightly bent and inside the frame work of the body.
2. Snap head and hands up and sit in a coiled position with a good wide base.
3. Bend at the knees not at the waist. Waist benders will give their shoulders up to pass rushers. Throw the chest out, work for an arched back and keep separation.
4. Keep thumbs up and palms open. Snap through the jab with elbow extension. Try to get the defender to reset his feet.
5. Punch out and up. Jam must be inside the framework of the body.
6. Focus on the target. Punch through it.
7. Do not wind up the punch. The punch is more of a 6” to 8” jab. Maintain contact with your feet on the ground.
8. If you miss on the jab, reset and jab again. Jab feels good if the defender has to reset himself.
