Pass Rush Moves

A. Bull Rush

1. Attack the face of the blocker. Cut the cushion down as fast as

possible.

2. When close enough to touch the blocker without reaching,

explode with face of hand on the breast plate of the blocker.

3. You must make his helmet snap. Get the blocker to straighten up.
Use quick explosive punch.

4. As you attack through the face of blocker, lift the blocker with
hand shiver and hip explosion.

5. As the blocker is going back, work through the edge of the

blocker (1/3 of body).

6. When OL braces himself and a stalemate occurs, reload. Raise

elbows and sink the hips simultaneously. Then continue your
bull rush.

7. Three counters to bull rush and bull rush flip-rip: Use when
in Rip position and OL punches your hip and rides you outside.
OL is cheating when he is leaning on you - counterback!

a) Drop step and high club

 Use when the rusher is in Rip position and feels the OL leaning
on him to ride him outside.

 Drop step with the rip leg and release your brace on the OL.

 Use OL momentum to pull the OL and violently club him with

the rip hand and rip again to the QB.
  Don't quit on your rip too early.

b) Spin

 Use when the rusher in a rip position feels the OL leaning

on him to ride him outside.

 Brace inside leg and sink the hips.

 Release outside leg and bring it to the back.

 Take outside arm back also and land it on the back of the
blocker.

c) Arm Over

 Use when locked up with OL on a rip and are somewhat past

the blocker and OL sits on your rip or OL is top heavy.

 Point rip thumb to the ground.

 Raise elbow to the sky. Push down on OL's elbow.

 Arm over/arm through his back.

B. Rip

1. Dip your shoulder nearest the blocker to power past the blocker.

2. Use your hand opposite the OL to pull the blocker’s near arm in
an explosive manner to gain an upfield advantage with your
outside shoulder.
3. Rip your arm closest to the blocker upward in the manner of an
uppercut punch to a point outside the plane of the blocker’s
body.

C. Bull Rush Flip-Rip
