Tips for a small lineman??

Question

Im a senior and coach put me at left guard on the o-line. I weigh about 165 now that 2 a days are done but im pretty strong- bench 310,squat 400, powerclean 230. The reason im worried is because against our jv i do fine pushing people around but when im going up against other teams varsity d line im not sure that I will be so impressive. What is the best way to go up against bigger guys and do my job?? No smartasses please

Answer 1

dude heres wht u needa do.. 1st off u have great strenth SO USE THAT. bench and power clean are the 2 most important lifts that are correlated with blocking some1... u needa STAY LOWat all times and drive people using your strength and quickness.. if u hit them first they wont be able 2 to anything..also, yea beating up on JV is easy, but just stick with the same mentallity when u play real teams.. HIT HARD AND JUST GIVE IT UR ALL AND **** THEM UP.. Ull be fine.. especially with your strength

Answer 2

stay low, meaning when you explode out with your hands to the defenders chest you should have to look up to see your hands. hands above heads is what i tell my kids. it does not matter the size of the man, its "Low man wins".
