🔥How to corkscrew… Step 1: Attack the primary blocker It's dang near impossible to defeat a double if you take on more than one blocker. But instead of punching through the blocker's chest, grab the cloth on his shoulder pads. This will give you the ability to turn his body. Step 2: Twist & split Now that you have a hold of the blocker's shoulders... ...twist your body into the gap so you can split the double. Step 3: Escape & square up Violently shrug the blocker off of you to escape his grip... ...and square up so you can make the play.

🔥5 drills to destroy doubles #1 Pad Punch When you feel pressure from the adjacent blocker, combat his force with your hips. #2 Sled Punch The key to defeating a double team is to split it. Here’s a great drill to help you attack 1 man, get skinny and throw off. #3 Double splits Splitting doubles can be super difficult. The double splits drill helps simulate the force you’ll need to apply into your primary blocker to ultimately split the double team. #4 Punch recover When aligned in an even technique (0, 2, 4) the key is to survive the collision by staying square, absorbing force and transitioning to the crease. The punch recover drill does a great job of simulating this. #5 Hip Swivels Use hip swivels to practice wedging your hips between the primary and adjacent blocker.

🔥Unpopular opinion… D-Linemen should never do max squats. As impressive as it is to squat 800 pounds, this type of weight lifting often leads to injury and develops stiffness. Why? 95% of linemen don’t have the flexibility to do execute proper squat technique. Thoughts?
