@Francois Chartray,

 

Google Stronglifts 5x5 it is a good strength building programme and concentrates on the big 5 that any football play no matter what position should focus on!! Also have a look at plyometric drills aswell as this not only aids your strength, but also explosive speed as well!!

 

Hope this helps

Anybody have any tips on how to get comfortable in coming out of a 2 point stance? It's new to me and I'll be in it alot this upcoming season.

Get to where they will be not where they are...meaning RUN!!! Make the backer play behind you or over you..either way you win.

So should I be breaking down before contact or just punch on the run?

If Its a sweep play you have to use your hands. Your hands will allow you to get a feel for the space between you and the defender. In situations like this it's important because allowing yourself to lead with your shoulder. Leading with your shoulder in space will lead to you looking silly. The idea is to get your hands on the defender then pummel him. In an iso type situation where your shoulders are square to the defender, "dip n rip". This simply means put your helmet under the chinstrap of the defender and rip him out if his shoes!

On a serious note: if you are feeling concussion like symptoms..do not practice!!!!!! It's ok to be tough but not to be careless!

I had my scrimmage tonight and my first game at OT in the pouring rain, awesome for some good old power football. I took a bad hit though on a toss sweep play when I left my DT and went out looking to 2nd level blocks. On the way, I got hit by a line backer half my size and dropped to the ground.
So my question is, how do I block guys in open field on the run (as in both of us running)
I hope this makes sense, I'm typing this not too long after the game and I think I got a minor concussion (boot to the head, awesome fun)
Thanks

There really isn't much other than being cognizant of it, which you are. Each day you go out for practice have a "top 3" list. The top three things you want to focus on in order to get better at. When you become comfortable with each one then you remove it from the list. Only when you are comfortable do you remove items from list! In your case, moving feet on contact is #1. It's a mental hurdle you have to get over and constant reminder is the only way to do it. Good luck!
