FIGHTING THORUGH PRESSURE
Fighting through pressure is an important key for the defense, there are two aspects of fighting through pressure. As the athlete recognizes which way the offense is trying to block, the athlete must fight that pressure. If the athlete goes around the pressure, then he won't be able to make a play, because ballcarrier will most likely be ahead. I know because of page 45 it says, "If he goes around the pressure, he will be taking himself out of the play, since he will now be behind the ball." (Wilkinson 45). The second part of fighting through pressure is to use hands or forearms to ward off blockers. Next football season, I will fight through pressure and to not give the opponent's offense to score by going around the pressure.

I agree with you. Fighting through pressure is key for defense and avoiding won't help the play. I know this since I played football this year for the school team. But again I agree with you.
