LB Search & Destroy Drill - The search and destroy drill is highly effective for linebackers when actions inside the box are cloudy or unclear. - Coaches can choose to have players either shuffle or use a crossover step to move from their starting point to the cone. - A primary emphasis of the drill is to ensure the linebacker keeps their shoulders, hips, and feet square once they reach the cone. - Linebackers must avoid crossing over their feet when making contact with the ball carrier. - The drill should be executed at a thud tempo during the teaching phase so both the linebacker and the ball carrier can feel the movement, with the ball carrier waiting to make a decision until the linebacker reaches the cone. - The drill is excellent for young linebackers to learn how to match the path of the running back and track where he is going, rather than just running blindly through gaps.

LB Pass Rush Drill - Coaches should teach pass rush techniques to linebackers using the same methods applied to defensive linemen. - The drill focuses on linebackers facing a blocker, such as an offensive lineman or a running back, who initiates contact by shooting their hands. - A key component of the technique is a violent pin of the blocker's elbow combined with a rip move. - As soon as the linebacker's hips clear the blocker, they must point their foot back toward the quarterback. - Players should aim to have their entire body tilted and pointed toward the quarterback after executing the move. - The final phase of the drill requires the linebacker to sprint off the block toward their target.

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.

LB Track the Hip Drill - The "track the hip" drill is designed to create a sense of urgency for linebackers to reach the ball carrier. - Coaches should emphasize closing ground quickly to minimize the ball carrier's gain. - Players must maintain a downhill angle rather than a flat angle to ensure they meet the runner as soon as possible. - The goal is for the defender to make the tackle before the ball carrier reaches a specific designated line, such as the midsection of the drill area. - Linebackers need to remain aggressive and attack the ball carrier while maintaining proper leverage. - Using a "near foot, near foot" technique is essential for the tackler to successfully maintain leverage during the play.

LB Long Stride-Short Side Drill - The drill builds upon a box angle tackle progression but incorporates a long stride and short stride aspect to it. - Coaches should deepen the depth between the linebacker and the ball carrier for this specific drill. - Players usually utilize crossover footwork to run and close the distance to the ball carrier. - Players must use a long stride to close space, and then transition to a short stride to throttle their feet, widen their base, and get under control. - A critical coaching point is to keep the inside foot up rather than back, which prevents the ball carrier from cutting back and breaking the cup. - Coaches can incorporate a drop progression element into the drill, acting as the quarterback to get the linebacker set up before they come out of their break.

LB Tackle In Space Drill - The drill utilizes a reverse L-shaped setup with cones to force linebackers to work around obstacles while approaching a ball carrier in space. - A critical component of the drill is for the linebacker to aggressively close the distance between themselves and the offensive player before making contact. - Coaches should emphasize that elite linebackers must keep their hips and shoulders square upon contact to maintain leverage and power. - Players should avoid crossing their feet or "sitting in a chair" when approaching the tackle; instead, they must break down efficiently and maintain active feet through the strike. - The drill concludes by mimicking speed tackling techniques, where the defender focuses on getting to the hip and rolling through the finish. - This specific tackling progression is integrated into the regular season routine, with live tackling drills performed at least once a week to maintain sharp fundamentals.

LB Scrape Spill Tackle Drill - The scrape spill drill integrates movement skills, block destruction, and tackling into a single exercise. - Linebackers should maintain a downhill path with square shoulders while staying tight to the double team pole. - Proper hand placement for the spill technique requires one hand on the blocker's sternum and the other on the outside of the shoulder pad. - Players must plant their outside foot in the ground to quickly redirect and get back vertical toward the ball carrier. - Coaches should emphasize keeping the eyes up during contact to ensure players see what they are hitting rather than ducking their heads. - The ultimate goal of the drill is to avoid going one-for-one by being violent enough to shed the pulling blocker and make the tackle.

D-Line Agile Pad Get-off Drill - They utilize an agile bag drill to practice the defensive line's get-off. - The agile bag is placed right up against the drive leg of the D-Linemen. - The goal is to literally launch off the drive leg to gain ground and get over the agile bag. - The defensive lineman should get their drive leg up against the bag and go off on movement. - You want to see the player jump, leave the ground, and get full extension off that drive leg. - The player should gain ground with a 45-degree shin angle. - The technique involves closing space and gaining ground; the player should avoid being "choppy". - The drill can be a competitive race, or the players can simply focus on getting off. - One variation of the drill involves players racing, where the first one to touch the coach's hands wins, going off on movement.

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.

Linebackers!🚨🚨🚨 As linebackers, we have to key the guards for run reads, high hats (pass), and for pulling guards. Linebackers have to communicate with each other when they see a puller, screaming “pull, pull, pull!”. The linebacker to the side of the pulling guard has to shuffle over the top staying inside out of the ball carrier. The other linebacker away from the pulling guard has to either box or spill the puller to the other linebacker depending on their defensive scheme. In this video they are boxing the puller back to the other linebacker. It is very important for the linebacker shuffling over the top to keep his depth and not stepping up field. Offensive lineman wants you to step up field so they can cut you off and make a running lane for the running back. #LBU

DB Burst to Stack Drill - The drill focuses on the "burst to stack" technique, which is considered a critical skill for defensive backs. - Players must focus on using a burst of speed to get on top of the receiver's route. - Coaches should instruct players not to settle for being even with the receiver; they must strive to get on top. - The primary goal is to avoid falling underneath the route. - Ending up on the receiver's hip is an acceptable outcome and is much better than being underneath. - Defensive backs must specifically apply the burst to stack technique when a receiver takes an inside release.

DB Tennis Ball Release Drill - This drill is suitable as a first activity of the day or can be utilized as a filler drill. - Defensive backs must maintain a natural arms-length distance from the receiver to protect their space. - Proper spacing is critical because allowing a receiver to get too close provides them the opportunity to push or use a flipper move. - The drill requires a combination of great footwork and precise eye placement. - Players should focus on a quick and violent punch of the tennis ball rather than trying to catch it. - The punch should be shot from the shoulders to simulate the correct contact point on a receiver.

DB Mirror Dodge Drill - Defensive backs should focus on maintaining their initial leverage while using proper footwork and hand placement to widen the wide receiver during the release. - Defensive backs must avoid putting their near hand in during an inside release because it locks their directional hip and prevents fluid movement. - Coaches should instruct players not to press or lean into an inside release, as this often causes the defender to fall underneath the route and lose positioning. - When a receiver takes an inside release on a vertical route, the defender must burst to stack the route by fighting to get back on top of the receiver. - Players need to understand their defensive help, such as whether they are in a man-free coverage, to decide how to handle a receiver crossing their leverage. - The primary goal for a defensive back on an inside release vertical is to win the rep from the top side rather than trying to slice back underneath the receiver.

WR Rocker Step Drill - The rocker step is an everyday drill used by wide receivers to manipulate a defensive back's body positioning and movement. - This technique is designed to make a defender lean or stop their feet by simulating a break while the receiver is actually running at full speed. - Coaches should emphasize body control and movement manipulation, comparing the technique to a crossover move used by a basketball player. - Effective execution requires the receiver to move their shoulders and maintain total control over their body while selling a vertical route. - The drill begins with receivers coming off the line of scrimmage, running vertically for five yards while staying under control. - After mastering the initial vertical movement, the drill graduates to include the actual break in a specific direction to simulate game-speed routes of ten or more yards.

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.

LB Box Tackle Drill - This drill is designed to practice attacking a ball carrier from an angle rather than focusing on a heavy Oklahoma-style collision. - Coaches should emphasize "taking the air away" by closing the space between the defender and the ball carrier. - During the tackle, the defender should aim to take a leg from the ball carrier to bring them down. - Footwork variety is important, and coaches can have players start the drill by either shuffling or using a crossover run. - At the point of contact, defenders must maintain "same foot, same shoulder" positioning to ensure a solid tackle. - For high-quality contact, the defender should be close enough to literally step on the ball carrier's toe.
