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.

LB Run Fits Drill The video outlines a linebacker drill designed to help players adjust their run fits based on the movement of defensive linemen. Key learning points include: - Dynamic Gap Fitting: Linebackers must be prepared to "make it right" rather than just fitting a pre-assigned gap if the defensive front is compromised. - Drill Setup: The drill utilizes a defensive lineman (represented by a coach with a bag) and a running back to simulate real-game scenarios. - Reacting to Defensive Line Movement: The linebacker must observe where the defensive lineman's head goes, such as a 3-technique getting knocked into an A-gap or a 2-eye getting reached or pushed into a B-gap. - Responding to Ball Carrier Cuts: Linebackers must mirror the running back’s cut and then "thud" him up to finish the tackle. - Redirecting and Filling: Players must practice redirecting their momentum; for example, if a linebacker expects to fill the B-gap but finds it occupied by a teammate, they must quickly jump cut or redirect to fill the new open gap. - Downhill Aggression: The goal of the drill is to train linebackers to see the opening and get downhill quickly to fill the vacant gap.
