Chaisson comments on breaking sack record

quote:

---

The Swim move is very effective and easier to execute for taller players, but the caveat is that the pass rusher has to expose his chest for this move to work, so a pass rusher must stick to his fundamentals, in order to not get eliminated from the play:

1). The pass rusher must explode low to high and then clear the hands of the offensive lineman, with a chop or a swipe. This mitigates the risk of the lineman gaining the chest that will be exposed as the rep progresses.

2). The pass rusher must get hip to hip with the lineman. This helps maintain the half-man relationship and gives the pass rusher several options, while setting up the rest of the move.

3). The pass rusher has to grab, pull, or violently chop/club the swim side shoulder of the lineman. This, along with the clearing of the hands, will get the lineman off balance and set-up the final portion of the move.

4). Bringing the opposite side arm over the top of the lineman and punching through and downward.
