Will Blitz B-Gap
The weak-side Will linebacker blitzes through the B-gap.
Concept: Will attacks the B-gap off the tackle's hip while the end crashes inside to occupy blockers.

How to teach it
- 1Attack downhill and finish through the quarterback.
- 2Keep leverage inside-out so the QB cannot escape backside.
- 3Vs run, squeeze the gap and make the wrap tackle.
Common mistakes to fix
- !Will bellies wide and loses the gap; fix by drilling a straight-line first step through the B.
- !Tackle forgets to clear the gap; fix by rehearsing the slant-and-blitz combo together.
