Now that you have matured as a lineman, you need to learn some advanced techniques to become a better player! My first technique for offensive lineman is to cut block. Cut blocking is great for pass plays. It can also be used if the defensive player you are blocking is getting away. To cut block, you dive and hit the player with your shoulder pads; this will slow them down. Another offensive technique is to kick step.

Kicksteps are used to turn away defenders from the direction the runner is going to go. It can create holes for the runner to get through. To kickstep, you grab the players shoulder pads, like any block, and kick your foot to the opposite direction the runner or other player is going to end up.

My first defensive technique is to stem out. Stemming out can cause the offense to jump and confuse them. You stem when the opposing team comes up to the line and the qaurter back makes his first call. You simply take a small step to the right or left, deppending on the defensive play you are doing. Another defensive technique is to push the offensive tackles out. You do this when the other team is likely to punt, usually on fourth down. The defensive ends go into the line and push the offensive tackles out, letting linebackers have easy access to the offensive side of the ball.
