Mavric Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So, if you haven't noticed, "Block Destruction" is kind of Diaco's thing. Here's a primer: 3 Quote Link to comment

MyBloodIsRed16 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Maybe they should have made a "Conan the destroyer..... of blocks". Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Perhaps one or more of the tech junkies on this site, who know the hows and where and whats of the process, can post a couple videos of what Diaco says is the proper form of 'block destruction' so we can all see for ourselves what our '17 Blackshirts are supposed to be doing this fall. ? Most defensive coaches discuss the concept of avoiding blocks, defeating blocks, controlling blocks, etc. What would be the difference between those and block destruction as such, if anything?

ZRod Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 It's probably no different than most techniques. Don't let your man into your body. Keep your arms extended. Don't let him get inside your pads, keep your arms inside his. Maintain leverage. Violent upper body. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 this obviously all sounds great and everything but I don't really pay much attention to this. Bob is absolutely masterful with his words, could sell ice to eskimos at 5x face value. The one thing I will listen to him on is when he praises a player. At UConn he continuously offered the highest of praise for Byron Jones, calling him the best CB in the country and Obi Melifonwu, calling him the "best and most athletic safety he's ever coached". BJ ended up being a first rounder and starts for the Cowboys and Obi just absolutely tore up the combine. Bob also heaped praise on our #1 corner Jamar Summers who is an absolute beast. A lot of this other talk is just Bob being Bob but if he singles out individuals as having elite talent or skills then listen to him because he isn't just juicing the guys up for no reason.

Just sayin..Yes down in the lower 48, but for an Eskimo where ice is all around, I am betting the starting value is zero. Quote Link to comment

If we are talking Eskimos, they tend to live near the sea (for seal hunting purposes) so much of the ice that would be nearby would be either salty ice from the ocean, polluted ice and snow from the atmosphere, or the $2 bag of ice from the convenience store, frozen from filtered and treated water. Which sounds more palatable? That's right, the filtered and treated ice they have to pay for. Better to pay $2 for some ice than $200 for a trip to the doctor. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 "Block Destruction" is nothing new. We have been seeing this for a while at NU. Unfortunately, it has been our OL who's blocks are getting blown up. Be nice to make other teams be the receiving end of those..... Quote Link to comment

A good salesman will prove the value of ice even to Eskimo's. I have a brother that could do this. He'd leave with a huge order and leave behind a bunch of Eskimo's that were convinced they got the better end of the deal. Quote Link to comment
