Spencer Brown - Linebacker Block Destruction

by IHSFCA Illinois High School Football Coaches Association

Description

What is block destruction? Techniques used to avoid, defeat, and disengage from blocks. Regardless if a tackle has been made, it's important to never finish the play blocked. Linebackers' optimal tools for the job are their feet, hands, and eyes. There are three types of blocks, perimeter block, base block, and cut block. 

Cut block; Offensive linemen cut block by hitting a defensive player on the knees in an attempt to knock him down. Base block; As the offensive lineman moves away from the ball after snapping, the base block relies heavily on the player's strength and power to keep the defensive linemen at bay. Perimeter blocks are self-explanatory. 

In this course, Southern Illinois linebacker coach Spencer Brown discusses the linebacker block destruction and how it's key to their defensive success. He breaks down the drills he implements into his practice grounds to give his linebackers a competitive edge over the opposition. If you're looking for better block destruction, look no further.

Coach Spencer Brown guided a Saluki linebacker unit in 2019 that featured All-Conference outside backer Cody Crider as well as team sack leader Makel Calhoun (7.0 sacks). The linebackers were a key reason why SIU improved from 10th to 6th in the MVFC in scoring defense (23.0).

Brown was named linebackers coach at SIU on Jan. 10, 2019. He spent the previous three seasons on North Carolina State’s staff — his first two years as a graduate assistant coaching nickels and the 2018 campaign as defensive quality control coach. The Wolfpack were 25-14 during Brown’s tenure and made three-straight bowl game appearances — the 2016 Independence Bowl, 2017 Sun Bowl, and 2018 Gator Bowl.
