Tennessee OL working combo blocks with an open gap under the chute. The open gap gives the linemen a visual climb path while reinforcing square shoulders, vertical movement, and timing on the linebacker release. Good, game-like drill with a lot of carryover.

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.

Washington repping Gallop Technique. • Small inside step • Short "Hop" • Explode through the defender’s hip • Feed him to your teammate • Climb to the linebacker A great way to create movement on combo blocks while staying square to the 2nd level. 👇

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.

Alex Mirabal - OL Coach, Miami Counter gap should not make the block harder than it has to be. Coach Mirabal shows why double under and gallop keeps you square and gives you a better answer for the backer.

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.

Close the Gap! Defenders need to know that the gap is not a fix spot, it moves constantly with the ball. As the ball dribbles away, we need to shrink that space to prevent counter moves into wide open space. This also puts defenders in great positions to make plays like gap steals and blindside steals. Watch the full Gap video breakdown on YT:

Here’s a Nebraska offensive line drill we use at least once a week. The covered man starts by driving the sled, then comes off to fit and finish on the linebacker. The coaching emphasis is simple: Create movement on the first level. Don’t leave the down lineman too early. Come off the sled under control. Square up and fit the linebacker instead of chasing him.

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.
