What We’re Covering
• What Is It?• Angle Blocking Concepts (ABC) - Historical
Perspective• ABC Advantage• Simple Physics• Primary Assignments• Severe Angle Blocking - SAB• Track & Kick Out - TKO• Load, Explode & Go - LEG• Installation Progression• Cut-Ups
What Is It?
• Down Blocking Scheme• PS Players Block in a Track• Players Don’t Chase Defenders• They Engage First Man to Cross
Their Face• KO At Point of Attack• Primarily for Trap, Power &
Counter Game
Historical Perspective
•Woody Hayes & Earl Bruce - Slam Blocking•Barry Alvarez - Track Blocking•Jack Gregory - Severe Angle Blocking (SAB)•Darrin Fisher - Track & Kick-Out (TKO)
ABC Advantage
• Power Angles• Simple and Consistent Assignments• No Complicated Rules to Cycle
Through• Double Teams When and Where We
Want• Multiple Plays - Same Schema• Every Lineman is Important• True Team Blocking
Simple Physics
• F=ma• The Greater the Angle - The Greater
the Force• 45 Degree Down Block 1.5x - 2x
Force Advantage• 30 Degree Down Block 2x - 2.5x
Force Advantage• Kick Out Block 2.5x - 3x Force
Advantage
Simple Physics
• 2 - 12 Year Old Players @ 135 Lbs.• Drive Block• Player 1 135 x 2 = 270 Force• Player 2 135 x 2 = 270 Force• 270 - 270 = 0 Stalemate

Two Methodologies
• Severe Angle Blocking (SAB)• Track and Kick Out (TKO)
Severe Angle Blocking (SAB)
XG T E
• Playside Blockers Engage Man in Track All of the Way to Boundary
• Shortcoming– Players Advanced at Different Speeds Creating
Openings for LB’s to Shoot Through
Track and Kick Out (TKO)
XG T E
• Developed by Coach Darrin Fisher• Uses Landmarks to Create Wall and Stop LB
Penetration
