Hi alois, what advice do you have for blockers against different types of styles?

Hi Jasper,

The main thing is to use variation of placement as well as speed to keep the attacking player off balance.

Also try to stop the attacking player from making an easy first attack.  As we develop our "Playing As" Series we will add a video about this.
