He runs directly at the HB, it’s bad for 2 reasons.
If he runs around the blocker to the outside, even if the blocker still makes contact it will more than likely force the HB back inside where a LB or Lineman is likely to make the tackle. If he tries to run around to the inside, it prevents the blocking interaction from getting in the way of other players trying to go across from inside. By just running right at the blocker, he sets himself up to be an obstacle to other defenders and doesn’t prevent the back from getting to the edge.
Those are not good angles, elusive will punish that all day, you have to close off the outside lane or at least stay out of the way so someone else can.
Good points. I will post plays from my next few games
