Block reaction
Base-we counter with a bench and throw (we bench for separation and throw
ourselves into the hole).
Reach-push-pull-rip (push the reaching shoulder, pull the BS shoulder, and rip our
near arm and hip through keeping the reach-side arm and leg free).
Down, we punch and squeeze (we punch his shoulder hard try to knock him off
balance, go down with him and squeeze the gap keeping our shoulders square to the
LOS getting our eyes inside looking for a trap/kick).
Pull-we get in a Pulls hip pocket fast.
Of course this is all after we have attacked the appropriate V and are working to the
spot their heels were pre-snap.
