Brent from Kansas sent in these [tag]football linemen drills[/tag] that he uses with his team. I’ve included them here for you to try with your team. Keep ’em coming!
From Brent…
THREE HOLE-PICK-A-HOLE
Works with Running Backs and Linebackers
RB- BALL CARRYING SKILL ALONG WITH CUT TO HOLE AND ATTACK ON DEFENDER
LB- PURSUIT AND TACKLE, NOT TO OVERPLAY
TOOLS
4 CONES AND FOOTBALL
Set up running back and linebacker on opposite sides of the cones, behind the 1st cone. [tag]Football coach[/tag] will pitch the ball to the running back who will secure the [tag]football[/tag] and cut to a hole, keeping low and attack the defender and drive through him.
Linebacker on the pitch will pursue down the line of scrimmage using proper technique. When the runner cuts to the hole the linebacker will step up, keeping in good hitting position and properly tackle the runner. Getting head in correct position, feet incorrect position and wrap up the runner the properly. Try to instill in linebacker “no missed tackles”.
We do this [tag]football drill[/tag] daily to instill what we want fundamentally from our backs and linebackers.
