How to Block as a Running Back in Football

Video Transcript

The next rule for the position of running back is blocking and I'm also going to touch on some points for fullback. Now, when a running back sees that he is open on a play and the play is going to either a wide receiver or a tight end, it is in their duty of the running back to block. So when a running back is set back in his stance and he sees his quarterback go out and sees anybody coming up like a defensive back make blitz or a defensive linemen may blitz. So a running back wants to run up and simply block for his quarterback if he sees anybody coming through that line. But you should be always in position, not back in the back still with your quarterback, you should be in front of your quarterback trying to block for him if somebody runs up a blitz. So that is important because the fullback would always be blocking for the quarterback and the running back unless the play is ran for the fullback. So it is important that you get out of the back field if the play is not ran for the running back. Get up to the front of the quarterback and be as in help as a blocker as much as possible, so remember that and that would help you on the football field.
