LB 7 Cone Tackling Drill - The seven cone drill is specifically designed to prepare linebackers for open field tackling situations where they must effectively manage space. - A fundamental goal of the drill is for the defender to close the distance to the ball carrier, thereby taking away space and reducing the room available for maneuvers. - Coaches should emphasize maintaining leverage by staying inside out on the ball carrier, which forces the runner in a specific direction. - When approaching the ball carrier for a tackle, the linebacker should track the near hip and near number to ensure proper positioning. - The drill highlights the importance of the collision point, specifically teaching players to use the same foot and same shoulder to maximize power and safety. - As players progress to using pads, the drill can incorporate agility bags or crash mats to simulate speed tackles encountered on plays like screens, bubbles, and stretches.

Swipe the Ankles Drill - The drill begins on a whistle, where coaches slowly drag bags away to simulate a runner. - Defenders start the drill on all fours and crawl toward the moving bags. - The primary goal of the drill is to simulate a defender's last line of defense by swiping the runner's ankle to bring them down. - Players are instructed to cup the ankle during the tackle attempt rather than using a closed fist or an open hand. - The technique emphasizes having something solid to grab onto as the runner moves away. - This specific movement is designed to train defenders on how to effectively make a tackle when they are trailing a play.

WR Posture Drill - The primary objective of the posture drill is to train players on every type of break by focusing on violent hip movement and gaining total control - Coaches should prioritize technique and control over having players stop exactly on a yard line - Executing a violent first step into the ground is critical for maintaining posture and effectively initiating the break - The drill progresses from a stationary start to moving between lines, allowing coaches to regulate speed and emphasize proper mechanics - To save the players' legs while focusing on technique, keep the drill distance to approximately five or six yards - Players must continue coming back toward the ball until it is in their hands to ensure they beat defenders to the reception point Jelani Berassa, WR Coach, Florida International Joshua Benjamin #GlazierClinics

O-Line Covered Step Drill - This offensive line drill utilizes the lines on a turf field or painted boxes to simulate old-school board drills. - To maximize individual time, coaches can line up multiple players along every five-yard line to get a high volume of repetitions in a short period. - The first movement, or the power step, is a short step used to transfer weight from the backside big toe to the lead leg to create power. - On the coach's second command, players execute the drive step, which provides the actual movement and force of the block. - Players must ensure their second step lands in front of their first step, driving that foot up the crotch of the defender and upfield. - While players in the drill may fall forward without resistance, in a game scenario, this momentum is used to strike the defender in a proper fit.

LB 1-2 Step Tackling Progression - Linebackers should focus on using the near foot and near shoulder when initiating contact with a ball carrier. - Players must overemphasize swinging their arms in an uppercut motion to generate power through the contact point. - A core fundamental is to get a leg and take a leg, which involves squeezing and attempting to lift the opponent's leg during the tackle. - Coaches should look for players to have their face in contact and aimed at the center of the ball carrier's mass. - After making contact, defenders should overemphasize driving their feet for at least five steps to finish the play. - The tackling progression moves systematically from static contact to taking one step into contact and then two steps back to build consistency.

D-Line 6-Point - 3-Point Drill - During the six-point drill, defensive linemen should focus on pushing directly from the ground to generate power. - Successful execution requires the player to explode out of their hips to fully unlock their power. - When transitioning to a three-point stance layout, the player must keep their feet locked into the ground throughout the movement. - Coaches should ensure that hands go straight from the ground to the opponent or sled without any backward cocking motion. - Maintaining proper upper body posture is critical, which includes keeping the eyes up, the chin up, and the neck braced or bowed. - Ideal hand technique involves placing the thumbs up with elbows tucked in to achieve a great lockout against the target.

Punt Return Slingshot Drill - The slingshot drill is designed to help a punt returner get back into phase after a defender has beaten them or released in an unexpected direction. - For the drill to be effective, the player acting as the punt team defender must power through for at least four yards despite being slowed down by the returner. - To initiate the technique, the returner should place one hand firmly on the defender's hip as they move past. - The returner then reaches around with their second hand to grab the defender's hip, using the defender's own forward momentum to pull themselves back into position. - The ultimate goal of the slingshot is for the returner to regain side control and establish a position that is an arm's length away from the defender. - While grabbing a defender's shoulder pads is likely to be penalized, using the slingshot technique at the hip is rarely called by officials and effectively slows the defender down.

O-Line Blunt Drill - Drill Purpose and Utility: This drill is designed to simulate backside gap schemes and can be performed with minimal equipment or defenders. - Gap Responsibility and Squeezing: Players, specifically the tackle, must secure the B gap by squeezing down and holding their spot as the guard pulls. - The Blunt Technique: Rather than a traditional step hinge, the "blunt" involves squeezing down and then reacting to a defender's movement to engage. - Hand Usage and Anchoring: When engaging a defender, players should use a two-handed punch, similar to techniques used in drop-back pass protection, to anchor down and be firm with the blunt. - Reaction to Fold Blocks: The drill also addresses fold blocks against 3-4 fronts, where the center must feel the fold, pop up, and be violent when engaging the defender.

D-Line Press to Scoop Drill - The press to scoop drill is designed for defensive linemen to handle situations where they encounter a double team combo or a zone block. - When positioned on the backside of a play, the player must work to press the scoop as flat as possible against the line of scrimmage. - It is critical to get hands on the offensive player to prevent them from getting a free release to the second level of the defense. - Players are coached to keep their inside arm long, strong, and fully locked out while adjusting their position during the play. - To maintain power and leverage, the defensive lineman should work to get their inside leg up, utilizing a same hand and same foot technique. - If two blockers remain on the defensive lineman, another defender is free; once one blocker leaves, the lineman must be prepared to come off the block and make the play.

DB High Shoulder Drill - Coaches should instruct defensive backs to eyeball the receiver's near hip to determine the route's direction. - When a receiver's hip moves toward the defender, it indicates the route is rolling over or through, requiring the defender to close the space and attack the hip. - If the receiver's hip moves away from the defender, it signals a vertical route that the defender must chase to reach the catch point. - Defenders should maintain proper footwork and spacing, utilizing techniques such as the kickstep and punch during the play. - Defensive backs must fight force with force by placing their hands on the receiver if the receiver's hands are on them. - Players should be violent at the reception point to effectively knock the football away from the receiver.

D-Line Drive Sled Drill - The drive sled drill is designed to develop muscle memory in defensive linemen so they understand the necessity of continuing to drive their feet upon making contact with an opponent. - Players must demonstrate explosive movement by coming out of their hips and shooting their hands directly from the ground to the man to initiate contact. - It is critical for the player to maintain a wide base throughout the duration of the drill while driving the sled. - Coaches should ensure that a player's feet never get too close together during the drive, as keeping them spread allows the athlete to maintain power. - Maintaining full arm extension while driving is a key technical component for defensive linemen to master during this exercise. - The drill concludes, and the player releases from the sled only when the coach blows the whistle.

6 Cone Vice Tackle Drill - The drill uses a six-cone setup with specific cones assigned to two defenders and one runner to create varying angles and spaces for the vice tackle. - Defenders must navigate around their assigned cones with high urgency before engaging the runner. - Players are taught to manage distance by using long strides to close space quickly and transition to short strides as they approach the ball carrier. - Effective tracking requires defenders to focus on the runner's near hip to maintain proper leverage and close the gap vertically. - To properly execute the finish, defenders must keep their near foot up and strike the runner on the rise while maintaining good knee bend. - Successful vice tackling relies on teammates trusting one another to close the air out of the play and maintain their respective leverage points.

KO-KR Avoid Drill - The primary objective of the kickoff coverage drill is for the cover man to make the blocker miss. - To set up the drill, establish a five-yard wide starting area with two cones placed about three yards apart, located eight to ten yards downfield. - The coverage man's goal is to successfully navigate past the blocker and score by finishing between the set cones. - Coaches should teach players to use an eye stun to set up their move before attempting to beat the blocker. - One method to bypass the blocker is using speed combined with a dip and rip technique to get around them. - Another effective technique shown is slipping past the blocker's posterior or "back-dooring" them based on the blocker's momentum.

DB Box Tackling Drill - The drill is set up using a five-yard spacing box with a popup dummy positioned in the center. - Defensive backs begin the drill in a pedal and must maintain an inside-out relationship to the ball carrier to properly win their leverage. - When a ball carrier cuts back, the defender should aim for a chest-to-chest tackle with eyes positioned below the ball carrier's eyes. - Effective tackling requires maintaining three bends in the body and creating knock-back through overexaggerated leg drive upon contact. - To eliminate cutback lanes, the defender must track the near hip and stay behind the ball carrier rather than getting even or in front of them. - Coaches should emphasize a drive-for-five mentality after contact and encourage defenders to rip at the ball to simulate a takeaway.

O-Line Uncovered Step Drill - The uncovered step is a technique used by offensive linemen that is essentially based on the traditional bucket step. - This specific footwork is a fundamental component used to successfully execute double-team blocks. - While the covered offensive lineman takes a two-step approach, the uncovered lineman must execute a short bucket step followed by a second step aimed directly up the defender's crotch. - During the execution of the block, linemen are coached to keep their eyes on the defender's thigh to read their movement. - When working a double team to the second level, linemen should drive the defensive lineman toward the linebacker and only disengage to climb when the linebacker is within an arm's length. - Coaches should emphasize a heavy second step to generate movement and maintain a low pad level to effectively drive defenders off the line of scrimmage.
