Nice acting job, though. Nice acting job. A stalk block is whenever an offensive player tries to block a defensive player. What you do is engage him and try to get around him as quick as possible to the ball carrier. ENGAGE. Try to get separation as soon as you can. Swing move, get to the ball carrier. Do not engage, do not stay engaged with him.
