LA Rams ’Aaron Donald has a book-by-book technique for shedding blockers

[ad_1]

The NFL’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year for the last two consecutive years and three times overall- the LA Rams ’All-Pro defensive lineman Aaron Donald (though he’s called RE, right end) of Madden 20- is an exceptional player at every step and on many different levels.

I bet his trophy case should have been custom -made just to show all the awards and recognitions that the winner is right and also deserves.

He brings down the most dominant player on the field of each game and one player per Rams opponent’s defensive coordinator must plan-game.

He’s just a bona fide wrecking ball, damaging and pancaking that will be blockers like pins knocked down in a bowling alley.

His strength, posture, and footwork when he’s matched against tall, 300 -pound offensive linemen aren’t just some of his most compelling qualities, but let’s ignore his approach – that’s the book.

And an unscheduled skill set for any defensive lineman is the ability to drop blockers and then either tackle the runner or object / sack / slap the quarterback. Of course, when you’re Aaron Donald, shedding blockers is important because he gets double and triple-teamed on almost every down. But he was able to succeed, as this video of How to Rain Blocks like AD shows

Donald’s method is so good book that if you are in a mind to make an instructional video on how to shed blockers, you will use some AD game film to illustrate the nuanced techniques he uses. The strategy, the modus operandi of providing blockers the way Donald does it.

And that’s exactly what this little instructional video chooses to do, to help aspiring football players or just play weekend warriors like AD. And they pair it with a variety of workouts and workout drills that anyone can perform at home, or at their gym to improve their game.

And the importance of the AD technique cannot be underestimated. It’s part of what makes him a long-term All-Pro and the league (and every rival quarterback) dreaded defensive player.
