Dominate the Backside on Outside Zone: Game-Changing Guard-Tackle Combo Technique - Dave Christensen

1. The swipe block is a backside blocking technique involving the guard and tackle.
   
   
2. Main goals:

• Guard avoids direct contact with defensive linemen
• Tackle pulls and attempts to cut off or cut down the defensive lineman
• Both linemen aim to create an angle that helps the running back get to the linebacker

3. Technique details:

• Guard takes an open step and tries to get to the linebacker
• Tackle pulls flat and tries to cut the defensive lineman (three technique)
• Linemen should match their shoulder angle to the running back's track

4. Benefits:

• Creates leverage against backside defenders
• Prevents defensive players from disrupting the running play
• Allows offensive linemen to effectively block pursuit defenders

Coach Christensen provides multiple video clip examples demonstrating the swipe block technique, highlighting good and less effective executions by offensive linemen.
