How do you stop a pass rush monster like Von Miller in his tracks?
Every extra step a rusher gets before contact means more force you have to absorb and more space you need to defend. Most linemen give up space and pay the price. Here’s how to flip the script and take control.
Start by using a short set or a forty-five set, cut down his runway. Strike him by step two, not step five. Early contact keeps your hips square, your base powerful, and forces him to fight through you, not around you.
Weight Room Add-ons
✅ 5-second eccentric squats @ 70–80% 1RM
✅ Iso-yield belt squat holds in your pass pro stance
✅ Sled marches or band walk-backs to drill your re-anchor and re-strike
