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.

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.

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.
