Akiem Hicks Breaks Down How to Make O-Linemen Look SILLY | NFL Film Session

really it's a hand game inside here right now it's a hand game and it's a power game if I can get ahold of you and you're scared of my power and I can do so many things to you I can take you back there yeah I can snatch you across I can shed you aside yeah there's so many things that you can do if you have proper hand placement and strength behind it thumbs up you like your thumbs up that locks your elbow right please submit to my position coach first thing you see is hands inside thumbs up nobody can break that grip of you right there nobody locked it look at the offensive lineman hand he's reaching and trying to get a grip for nothing but if you lock out your great I mean that's why you bench you can do whatever you want right here well strong man that's a violent hands you got let's just go through a couple things that we talked about here like I'm just the offensive guard in front of you right here you could be in a two technique or three whatever you want to go right but like if you're let's just start like in the run here if you if you feel me like let's just say I'm in a two-point stance and I'm kind of leaning right like I'm coming inside right like inside zone so I'm my first step is here like you get to step with you're gonna step with me right so I start coming up well you could just use my Menem momentum right again [Music] and off Dalvin cook hobby runs right into a teen aunts inside zone isn't it right and you can only run that away from the side of the back right so I know for a fact once the hops over I know what play is coming but I know 77 body is gonna start leaning I'm gonna take his momentum and send it across it against yes this is nasty I mean that's just a forearm shiver right there you got him going to his left and you just flip my set is right here right right here so I've seen you grab wrist when you're using a hoist move sometimes you have to kind of play pray for a second so you got a little guy get his hands on ya so it makes it that much easier to get his hands off because you don't work the rack I know where they're at now if I'm just punching a tear his hand could be here there anywhere right but if his hands have touched me first now you can't let him get his meat hooks on ya but you gotta let him get a little bit of punch okay you pop it off okay and a lot of times you got to keep working right get this one down get his hands up so now he's in church right now to Rogers good protection initially baki next of all the pass rush I saw you do this year aqui this was my favorite Russian verse because it's back when I was playing the worst thing was guys that grabbed my wrist when they got my wrist I could I could not reset I couldn't get my hands back inside I lost all of my center of gravity like you looked what you do right here I feel like it's almost a lost art until I see guys like you do it and you're gonna take this guard by his wrists and you're gonna do whatever you want with it like right there take that move I mean that's that's Bruce Lee you know well I'm sure you can attest this it's super hard coming off the line to find the police middle and a guy's wrist I know yeah but like to what you got it it was perfect you get him both now look at now he's struggling I mean he's got nothing right now you got the center coming over look at this you got three guys on it and you power through not just that you get to Rogers and get the ball out but he just powered through the right guard my friend it's so important to get a good like idea of what a guy is good at what its strengths are and what his weaknesses are so I know that I out match most offensive lineman especially in the interior yeah with size and strength yep so I know they have to get twice this low if they want to move me off the ball and get a little traction so they're running back and get a go at it so I use that to my advantage okay if I know a guy has to come off nice and low like we were talking about earlier with a guy that's like six feet 511 like Shaq Mason I know that he's gonna come up have to come off the ball super low yeah a little bit lower for fun from Shaq here I'm saying oh he wants to take me off the ball he walk so I'm actually playing small yeah because I am 6 1 yeah and you playing big we're counteracting so now I'm going over the top of you and you're punching air now what gives you confidence that you can swim outside and get there sans keys again ok and then I know that I don't have any responsibility in that egg app um I got all big app so I can be a little bit more freer with how I maneuver the key like that's a pro bowl right guard Jeff Mason hmm he plays low mm-hmm I know that he has to come off low in order to drive me off the ball because I'm my size and so I know he's gonna come down and try to dig and drive if you're gonna be that low I can step over you because I'm 65 if you swim outside like this do you have to go make the play Vick has always been okay with you um feeling it and in reading in offense and taking your chances yes you better make that in yeah you better get down the same thing here oh just sit shop and he's leaning so hard in the initial stage yeah come say it to myself okay I'm about to give you this work but if you could win fast he went fast right oh for sure I call you an escape artist this is an example here Green Bay right now like that that is an escape move how quick do you read it I read it before the snap happens um I know that MacRay is gonna fool just based on the stance you know you watch a guy all week right so you watch the tape with Vic and then you go home and you watch your tape by yourself I know his stance per every play they just gonna do I'm gonna be at least 75% so that's the right card prey right there you reading the stance you know he's pulled away so you already in your mind thinking all right Sam's got to come back it's coming back there's no only one player what's it so that gives you that right there mm-hmm that time hips beat Cory Lindley's blocked back which is beat him up feet over fitness go back your indicator what was your read right now I'll let his hands are how high his butt is I'm you can read the weight on his hand if you see it enough you just comes to you and this is my finish my seventh year I've seen everything so many times it's a little bit faster that's spectacular so that really helps you like just be the senator don't have a chance though and know the back doesn't either he definitely doesn't there's no chance when we have a pulling guard right and you being able to take advantage of that Center when he tries to come back and get you so if you can get a little bit closer Baldy right now get a little bit close not that close a little bit wider right there right and so he's gonna have his that kind of battle coming yep now he's balls pulling right I know it's coming so I can let him go punch the air somewhere else and I'm gonna tackle the running back it's so true because let's just say we're down in the goal line here keep your the center here Jose and I'm the right car and I got a pool in a power mm-hmm the last thing I want to do is get caught up here like you know I'm selling wrong but I know I still got a drop step right and so I might get back just six inches just to give myself enough to clear last thing I wanna do is trip it's just a little like yeah sup so you're gonna read that right and I'm gonna time trying to not give it away but I don't want to screw up my job on Simon just till that you don't screw messes you up exactly if you do your due diligence as a defensive lineman like a professional during the week you're gonna know any deviation of what his norm is but you can see the pressure on the fingertips you can see the pressure on the fingertips you can see the bend in the hips yeah you can see his head whether his head is down whether he's looking in out yeah you have to put these in your little rolodex and make sure you bring them out at the right time the right guard here he's giving it away how tidy is yeah he's bad sometimes I get it with their eyes you always beat the hand off you I get excited when I watch you should be like this spin go like you try to swim and then you've got the counter though right hand off Dallben pumped up the middle no keep it this is where you get in trouble sometimes I said I was 75% right yeah so you think you see something you think you're gonna get there you got to be over the counter out of that and go make a play that's a sweet spin though that's a sweet counter that's right Rick that's in a phone booth he working [Applause] no team you have such a great feel for what the offensive linemen are doing you you know you filled a single block the double teams are always the toughest I mean do you have a sense of when it's coming on occasion you can't always know but sometimes they'll give keys away during the week like some guys in their stance and do you mind if I stand up for us yeah okay so some guys during the week especially tackles they some guys like to be in their two-point stance right and so their hand positioning well sometimes give away whether they're coming down on you or they're going out guys that are going out sometimes they'll have their hands crossed like this it's only certain guys throughout the league and then certain guys when they're coming downhill they'll Square their feet up and their hands will be on their knees so you can take that direct step towards you if they have that foot back and they have hands cross they're getting ready to step back you know so those little stance keys throughout the week those help you get a leg up here we go effort this was after defeat don't stop though always trying to get those hips around yeah first move doesn't work thank you move pull them down swim over-the-top pressure right away Hicks is lined up on been a knock is able to get around them and Fitzpatrick no room to step off so you have a couple like I'm I'm here yeah I got a no for you I'm here there's sliced up swipe yes sir swipe out but you got to make sure that you're taking your hips with you yeah so you can cross and keep winning so which is which is your favorite is that that two-hand swipe to get that arm pinned if you're coming outside the most fun the most fun move is the two-hand swipe you knew that already didn't see it finish I kind of felt the power yeah do an swipe is the most fun it's like kung-fu man well you got to double-hand swipe so you're pinning that right on once you get that pin it's around and then hit by here get that hip on his hip now it's open your right hip on his right here it's done as long as you can be in the keep throw it in that corner you'll get there okay he beat number 77 the right guard so quick fitzpatrick had nowhere to run nowhere to hide you you
