Coach, Can you please describe Whammy Blocking on a 2 tech for Belly Slide? Do you do this is you have a 2 and a 5 tech?

The Whammy block is a double team with the OC & PSG in Belly Slide. We alert the 2 linemen they need to double the 2, 2i, 1 or 0 nose. This is not your down the line double but rather we knock that man off the ball and as with all of our doubles we have 2 shoulders on the DL and 4 eyes on the LB. The Slide back would have the 1st LB playside with either the PSG or usually the OC coming off for the BSILB. They must NEVER allow penetration by the DL…that is of utmost importance! The worst thing that can happen is for the 2 to slant across the OC and no one blocking the BSILB who’ll have a free run and light up the FB. That’s why the term Whammy comes in to alert the OC&PSG of the necessity of knocking the DL off the ball.

Against a 3-5, will they work for the middle LB?
