Whenever a tight end is called upon to execute an angle block, the first thing he must do is square up his stance on the line of scrimmage so that he can step with his inside foot as he initiates the block. On the snap, the tight end takes a short, three inch angle step down the line of scrimmage, with the foot that is closest to the man he is assigned to block. This short step not only allows the blocker to get his head in front of the defensive man's charge, stopping penetration, but it also opens the blocker's hips, making it possible for him to attack the defender with a low, square blocking surface.
