It might be difficult to fight the instinct of lowering a shoulder.

His pad level was the reason he got hurt in the first place. They were inside the 5 vs Louisiana and ran an HBack insert where the TE hits the play side A gap to take on the fill LB. You have to get down hill on that block. He didn't get low enough and the Mike hit him on the front of his shoulder and he wasnt right the rest of the season. Albert O had the same thing happen on a wham block vs Florida. Taking on a LB with less than max intensity rarely works out.
