Back Pedal for Interceptions in Football

This is Sean Hobson, for Expert Village. We're talking about making an interception on a player. One important thing is the back pedal. Every time you cover somebody, it always starts with a back pedal and then you read and adjust. In order to have a good back pedal, we've all ready talked about you've got to be in a good stance to start with. If your feet are too close to you, you can't back pedal. If you're standing flat footed you can't back pedal. You've got to be up on your toes, you got to be up on your toes, be good a balanced. He's got his butt down, he's ready to go. Now with his hands. Hands are a big part of back peddling. When you take a step back, you step back on your toes, you don't step back on your heels, because what's going to happen is, you're going to tumble backwards. And your receiver is going to go right past you and score a touch down. So you've got to stay on your toes and you want your head out in front of you to keep good balance. You don't want your head back. And you want to pump your hands as you are back peddling. So, Blake is going to demonstrate a good way to back peddle when you are blocking somebody. That's excellent. You see that his head never moved. His eyes were in the back field, to find out whether the receiver, or rather the quarter back was going to drop. Or whether there was a run play or what ever. So the back peddle very very important.
