My biggest "hit" was during an EFL game (SE MA semi-pro league). I'm in the U position on what started out looking like a pass play so I'm sliding up between 2 LB's toward the LOS. The "pass blocking" opens up and here comes the RB (Harold Shaw - a 240+ lb former NE Patriot RB) right at me. I try the "I'll hold my spot until he commits to my right or left method" and he just keeps coming right at me. Shaw and the 2 linebackers that I moved up beyond as the play started and me all hit at the same time. I end up flat on my back at the bottom of a big pile with Shaw's facemask on my chin and what felt like the whole defensive team on top of me. It's the only time I'm telling the players to "roll off & use the ground" from the bottom of the pile. After a few seconds I got up feeling like I've been in an auto accident. The rest of the crew was ribbing me all night after that.
Still haven't found the "perfect mechanic" to handle the draw when you're trying to focus on the "pass blocking" and they hide the draw until the last second.
