OK, let me explain with an example:
Left Guard has to perform a kickout block behind the left tackle blocking down!
So his right leg and right arm are his "backside" leg and arm.
So he "pivots" on his left foot, crosses over with his right foot...

I don't understand crossover.it sounds like the post block but with a pivot, and what is the backside arm and leg
