THE EYES
The eyes will lead the body to the block. Where the eyes are focused the rest of the body will move it that direction. Focus the eyes on a specific target. The proper use of the eyes will help with the ability to redirect the bodys mass and feet. Focusing the eyes on a specific target will maximize the ability to apply force against the defender and will improve the functional posture of offensive linemen.
In pass protection set to a specific target. This will allow linemen to step in the proper direction and adjust to counters by the pass rusher.

3 THE SET
The set is achieved and depends on the ability of the offensive lineman to move from his stance to the proper set position as quickly as possible. The set system is the step pattern which is determined by the pass protection scheme, the defensive structure, and the alignment of the defender.

4 MIRROR
When an offensive linemen sets his post foot and set foot have to be on the same angle if not the hips and shoulders will internally or externally rotate thus creating a soft shoulder and creating a rush lane for the defender. Use the hands to fight, which keeps the defender off your hip, and creates space and time.
INSIDE MOVE
Inside move of a defender power step and 6 inch slide step (slide to base or equal and opposite steps). The weight should be on the post foot, lead with hip while staying within the cylinder (center of mass) creating relative position on the defender. Control the inside shoulder of the defender and anticipate a counter. Have a slight shoulder tilt with inside shoulder up, which will help create balance.
OUTSIDE MOVE
Outside move of a defender kick slide maintaining relative position do not set past the midline of the defender. If the feet are too narrow the offensive lineman will loose leverage and power. Maintain a base of support with positive shin angles and stay within the cylinder (center of mass). Keep the feet on the same angle if not the shoulders and hips will external rotate. Have a slight shoulder tilt with the outside shoulder up, which will help create balance

5 THE PUNCH
Never punch off the post foot always punch off the kick foot. Use the post foot for power and the set foot for balance. Maintain a post stagger relationship. The punch starts at the shoulders and extends through the elbow, wrist, and hands. The punch is an extension of the body and creates space and time.

Linemen must have the ability to redirect their feet after the initial contact. Keep the eyes on the landmark. After the blocker sets and punches, he now has to maintain contact with the rusher, allowing as little closure to the quarterback as possible.

PASSING AREA
9 Yds.
The passing area is 9 yards in depth from the line of scrimmage and 3 yards in depth from the line of scrimmage to the passing area. In between is the combat zone. In pass protection schemes the tackles have the width of the pocket. In pass protection schemes the center and guards have the depth of the pocket. The goal in any pass protection scheme is to keep defenders out of the passing area. By flattening and stretching defenders offensive linemen can keep defenders out of the passing area.
