Core Fundamentals of the "Steelers Six" training camp approach.

[slashsteel]

This was conveyed by Magic Mike McCarthy
In regards to six core daily fundamentals focused on during training camp:

• Ball security: Protecting the football and avoiding costly turnovers during high-tempo play.

• Blocking: Sustained, assignment-accurate execution in the trenches.

• Tackling and breaking tackles: Maximizing contact efficiency while managing body wear.

• Big plays: Creating explosive opportunities on both sides of the ball.

• Finish / Pursuit: Maintaining high-speed pursuit angles and completing every play through the whistle.

• Mannerisms / Disguises: Refining pre-snap defensive looks and offensive presentation to fool opponents. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Yinz heard of band of the hand ?

This is six for a fix… or for kicks..

I had a coach who was all about pursuit. We practiced pursuit angles using ghost runners and stuff.. i thought it stupid at the time.

I like that approach! Never heard that kind of talk before at camp the past 19 seasons. It was always stupid Tomlinisms that the media thought was cute.

Well a little more in-depth than back to the lab or unleash hell or paint a barn with a specific type of brush. It is actually a guideline he is using … so not sure I would call it similar. Their different approaches more than an apple and orange outlook…

Nice find and post slash, appreciate it.

There has been a lot of change going on and I for one am happy to date.

Of course we will see how this translates to the field of play.

There has to be a transition time from last year to this year as these players are being asked to do things completely different and out f realm from the old staff to new staff.

A refreshing breath of air and football.
