Next, the defensive man should take an inside charge from a one location. Because the defensive man is charging toward the inside, it is best to have the other players back and away from the drill area. This alignment will decrease the possibility of injury.
When the defensive player rushes to the inside, the blocker must stop his momentum to the target at all cost. He must strike the pass rusher at the line of scrimmage. Because the pass rusher is now moving directly at the target area and not wide to the outside, it is important for the blocker to maintain constant contact and not try to disengage from the defensive man as he did when the defender rushed wide, away from the target area.
The blocker must now drive the, pass rusher down the line of scrimmage and keep him from penetrating the target area.
