STEMMING? someone explain???

[buddy06]

can someone please xplain what stemming is for them?..i have heard several different explanations

[phantom]

Stemming is showing one front and/or coverae them moving to another.

I use it to teach my WR how to shift an angle- the simple rule is this. If a Defender is covering your inside shoulder or an inside look you start your route and stem it at him. This causes him to think:
Slant and he turns his inside hip, when he startts that we then run our route...big prob here, you must teach QB´s and WR to lock eyes and work timing issues. As for outside make the stem look like a fade. etc.
Slants and Fades Inside /outside -stem looks.

a consistent vocabulary would make coaching too easy----then everyone would want to do it....

"Stemming" for us involves the DL shifting.
"Sugaring" for LBs doing the same thing...
"Prowling" for DBs doing the same thing....

We use "stem" to talk about defeating blocks. It basically comes down to juking an offensive linemen, but doing it in a very tight space.

We will stem prior to the snap...for example a call of ours would be (4 G move Under). Line up in G and on the QB's cadence we shift to our UNDER front in an attempt to mess up their reads on the option game.

you wonder why the divorce rate is so high in the coaching trade....Gee Honey thats not what I meant when I called your mom a Hag!...
God help us all

We refer to presnap shifting of the DL as Stemming.
