- I have 7 pylons that are within 3 to 4 yards, apart.
- The first pylon would be 3 yards ahead of the O player, D player is back approx 3 yards back from the O player.
- The next pylon would be to the right of the first on a straight line 3 to 4 yards, The next pylon would be up 4 yards from the last plyon.
- The next two are to the left on a straight line then the last in going back to the line of scrimmage.
The object of this [tag]football drill[/tag] for the O player would be to touch the pylon with one hand–running outside the plyon lanes in the direction of the pylon with out getting touched by the D player who starts 3 yards behind the O player. D player must touch with both hands. If anyone runs inside the pylon is given one warning. Start again if it happens the second time that player is eliminated.
O and D player switch positions and the one with the best plus minus ratio goes on to the next round.
It shows the players agility, speed both on defense and offense. Always good to determine diamonds in the ruff.
