I had a coach ask me about blocking techniques the other day. I believe I was correct in the answer, but would like to get other's opinion. He would like to teach his 9th grade strong- side linemen to make initial contact and then change to a crab block. I told him blocking below the waste in the NZ was legal as long as the ball is still in the NZ.
Does anyone see any errors in my ways? BTW, I told him with the ball leaving the NZ quickly these days, that crab blocking has lost some of its effectiveness. Thanks for any comments.
