You won't see this much. Vernon uses a straight arm technique + leverage to get under Williams for an impressive bull rush #GiantsPride

On that specific play?
Holding on every play

But it should be obvious when the guy is thrown to the ground

I think the key to this is the sharp step inside that OV takes before using the straight arm technique. You can see that Williams sets up for an inside rush and that causes his feet to plant. When OV moves outside again Williams feet don't go with him as he pivots and he is caught a bit off-balance. When OV uses his straight arm technique against him he is able to force Williams to lean toward the guard. He combines this with an almost immediate drive into his chest, beginning the bull rush.

I love this clip. Pretty cool to see it. Thanks for sharing!

IIRC that's the holding call that Aikman disagreed with.

Key to the double team - they both dip their shoulders in toward the DT's chest and the LG doesn't peel until the DT takes his first step backwards. By then the LT can control the DT single-handedly and the LG can focus on the LBer.

It does seem to be effective. Not 100% sure it's Hankins - might be Bromley but I think it's Hank.

Depends on yard and distance. Seems like it started well for the Skins but the Giants quickly plug the holes and contained for a short gain.
yard=down

I know some people here kill the guy re: technique... but I love me some Flowers. He is a big bad dude.
How is Thorn a veteran scout?  
chris r : 9/27/2016 9:45 pm : link
he looks like he's 30 and he's not even a scout.
one of his issues  
bc4life : 9/28/2016 7:43 am : link
is the punch. with his power if and when he gets that down, it's going to be nasty
