Pressure Points of the Wide-Base Linemen

[Reginald Rutledge]

One of the great things about what I do is stretch the limits. Under the Shootout brand, the pressure points of the wide-based linemen can be devastating. In a 3 to 1 audible ratio, it allows the offensive team to put pressure on a defense at any spot where the arrows are shown.

Most people may look at this as unconventional miniature football and that's okay. That usually happens when something new is brought on to the scene but when you get your head pounded in with what was thought to be laughable, then you start to take notice.

The physics of these type of players are a little different from players who are placed in a longitudinal way. On the wide-base players, you have to account even more for center of gravity because if you don't, they may tilt over. However, because of the physics of these players, they allow for a greater forward momentum, which is basically additional force.

We've watched how these players can "get into" another player. It can be devastating. While a lot depends on the tweaking of the base, the combination of the right base and player can be a very intimidating athlete.

The O-Line has 15 pressure points that yardage can be gained by. The traditional lineman allows for power by the running back right behind the linemen. The pass-blocking versatile line allows for 15 pressure points but those are high risk which are the West Coast linemen package.

So the constant evolution of O-linemen from my originals gives me renewed energy and vigor. For a classic power guy, this may be a great weapon under this style of play.
