How to Fire Off from a 3 Point Stance

Hi, this is Sean Hobson, for Expert Village. What we want to talk about is when working with our centers, the first and most important thing is to get the snap to the quarterback. The second most important thing is after the center makes the snap he has to make sure that when he snaps the ball his head is never down. If his head is down then he will typically get mowed over by the defender across from him. He has to make sure to keep his head up so when he snaps the ball he sees who he's supposed to block. In different types of defensive schemes he may not always have somebody heads up. It may be that he has to come up and find somebody. Usually, the center will combo block in the middle. He'll either block with the guard to the right or block with the guard to the left. That's why he has to be a good communicator with the guys around him. We're going to show you what it looks like when he fires off (video demo). First, he gets into a good stance. Second, he snaps it. When he comes up and snaps the ball he has to be quicker than anybody. He has to fire up, he has to get those hands out in front of him, he has to find the person he has to block, and then he has to lock into the numbers. This is what it looks like when he fires up after making the snap (video demo). You can see he fired up, he came right up, he was standing straight up, he has his hands out ready to go to war.
