How to play Linebacker:

Simple.
Linebackers:
When youโre striking a blocker, hand position is key.
Aim for the:
-V of the neck (midline)
-Near shoulder
And grab some jersey so you can get a Push/Pull.
Linebackers:
There are 2 ways to get over a Down Block:
1. Dip and Rip
2. Shock Tech (Strike, Push/Pull)
Either way, stay TIGHT and fight the pressure.
Donโt get washed.
Beat the block and make the play.
