I always told my linemen to get in the next o-linemen's hip pocket. We wanted to aim at the down defenders playside knee. If no defender then stay on the track to the next level. We never chase LB's we stay on our track until we run into the LB's or SS

We teach scoop blocking just like zone blocking with covered and uncovered steps and aim-points. We are so small upfront that we must dbl all DL in order to get any movement. After that then and only then can we worry about LB.

rebel yell...i think you mentioned that your team comes from a zone background (so do I) i would also think that it would be the same on the backside as INSIDE zone

that was my frame of mind too. I think the big thing is selling the kids on how important the BS protection is. I vaguely remember my old school had a great drill they used for backside scoop, but alas only bits and pieces of it.

ive found our most productive drill is to just line up 2 ol vs a dl and lb and give them all the different combos they will see

When you say backside scoop are you cut blocking on the backside?
If so this is how I teach it.
Step Cross Lunge
1. Step with the playside foot as flat as needed
(the farther away the defender the flatter the step needs to be)
2. Cross over with the back side foot gaining as much ground as possible.
3. Lunge (we say lunge but it is a crab or bear crawl) through the defenders playside thigh pad.
Coaching points - Never go to your knees! always hands and feet. If the defender bails or goes around your butt get up and climb to the second level. Churn THROUGH the thigh pad putting the defender on the ground (we chart knockdowns)
another way to think about this tech is 90 60 45 (degrees)
1st step is 90 2nd is 60 if the deffender bails take a 45 and climb.

We work this technique every day on bags plus we scoop live in team.
I sometimes pair this technique with the Dip and Rip 1st man Dip and Rips past bag, 2nd step cross lunges bag.
I also started using the 2 man sled to reinforce the churn or drive. It worked fairly well.

in my experience with the zone....we cut and stay up depending on: our personnell, their personnel and their alignment ie we will try to cut a back side 3 tech with the ot and try to slip the guard to lb

Yes, I am thinking of a cut type block BS with a monkey crawl. In order to get up and go to 2nd level. I always taught in zone that even BS it was a sin to cut and stay down. since our backs were great at reading and seeing a cut back. That way help was always on its feet and in the battle.

What are your opinions regarding cut blocks in practice?
If there going to be cut Friday night should they be prepared by facing the potential of the cut all week?
or
Is cut blocking in practice just an Unnecessary risk of injury?
