POLL: Which Playing Phase Are You In Right Now? (Be Honest 👀)
Every defensive lineman moves through different phases in their career. Some stay stuck. Some evolve. The question is — where are you right now? 🔹 Phase 1 – Thinking 🧠 (Using your mind to consider or reason about something) You’re overthinking your rush. You can’t clearly see the plan unfold as the play develops. Everything feels a little slow... If you don’t move past this phase, you’ll always be a step behind. 🔹 Phase 2 – Habits 🔄 (A regular tendency that’s hard to give up) You’ve built some solid moves and counters — enough to stick around and contribute. But you rely on the same 2–3 tools every rep. You win sometimes, but you’re predictable. 🔹 Phase 3 – Instincts ⚡ (A natural or intuitive way of acting or thinking) You react without thinking. Your reads and pass rush adjustments happen automatically. You control the O-lineman, not the other way around. This is All-Star level play. 👇 VOTE BELOW: Which phase are you in right now?
