Do a football speed bull rush break w/ James Harrison

Nike Bootcamp brings you pro football moves from James Harrison. The Speed Bull Rush Breakdown is displayed in the following 4 videos: 3-5 Fast Steps, Hats and Hands, Create Separation, and Chase Down the QB. This Nike pro football training video offers a valuable perspective from James Harrison.

3 - 5 Fast Steps
At the snap, sprint straight downfield 3 – 5 steps, depending on your stride length. Here you’re using your quickness to get a step on your blocker, keeping him from setting his feet. You’re not initiating contact with the blocker yet, you’re simply trying to beat him to the spot that will ultimately be your point of attack.

Hat and Hands
At the end of your initial sprint, make a strong cut inside off your outside foot. As you do this, plant your helmet right into the pads of your blocker’s chest and jolt him backward with your hands. Try to have your head meet his chest and your hands meet his torso at the same time, forcing him back with one concentrated blow.

Create Separation
The force of your impact with the blocker should knock him back, creating some space between you and him. Take advantage of this space, and use it to either continue your progress toward the quarterback or get around your blocker entirely. Do not get tied up with your blocker, this only plays to his advantage.

Chase Down the QB
Once you’ve blown your blocker back and gotten past him, it’s time to finish. Keep the quarterback squarely in your sights and go right for him, careful not to overrun your pursuit or let him sidestep you in the pocket. At the point of contact, wrap him up with both arms, drive your legs and take him down.
