Master modern man-pressure design by learning how to attack the running back in pass protection with Hug Rush and “green dog” mechanics. I break down the “Spike” path on film, detailing how interior blitzers spill slide-lock protections to create clean alleys to the quarterback. Discover how defensive coordinators install Share Rush rules so edge rushers can “peel-and-eat” flaring backs without surrendering pocket containment.
