Defensive Line Swim Over Drill

Written by Glazier Football | Dec 23, 2019 7:00:00 AM

Same as rip through, but your inside arm will come over the top of the blocker's shoulder, as if punching the quarterback.

Must bring arm over quickly, with elbow landing on kidney area of the back, this keeps the blocker from wheeling on the pass rusher.

Emphasize tight hip to the blocker and must get the inside hip past the blocker when making the swim move.

Never stop your feet from moving upfield when making any type of counter move.
