English

Subject field(s)
  • North American Football
OBS

This maneuver is used mostly on close-in blocks, where the blocker reaches the defensive man much quicker and with much more power. It is also effective when a rush man attempts to run through a pass protector who is using an upright blocking stance. The rush man uses the forearm nearest the blocker, aiming his arm between the neck and shoulder, under the chest to lift up the blocker.

CONT

The forearm lift is executed by stepping into the man and delivering a blow with the back of the hand to the pit of the stomach.
