"The outside blocker uses a cross-over step to get to the antenna. For the rightside blocker, that means he leads with his left (inside) foot,"
That part can't be reinforced enough. The first step by the rightside blocker moving to his right has to be with their left foot. If they step with the outside foot first, it'll be a very short step (and will make them take an extra step to get outside), it will leave their left foot exposed to being stepped on by the middle blocker and lastly force the middle blocker to wait for them to move their foot.
Blockers need to carry their hands no lower than waist height while moving along the net. Blockers need to drive back with the elbows on their plant with hands up (and not extending your elbows and swinging up as though you were spiking).
