Full drill
Here is one of the[tag] football practice drills[/tag] I use often, especially early in the season. In order to setup a good one on one coverage drill without wasting too much time I set up 3 lines on each side of the [tag]football[/tag].
On the offensive side:
1: Running backs (line up behind QB)
2: Inside receivers (usually the smaller faster guys)
3: Wide receivers (usually the bigger guys)
On the defensive side of the ball I have the following
1: Linebackers
2: Linebackers/DB
3: DB
Then I have a line of 3 or 4 quarterbacks.
In order to get a good flow I have the QB’s let their player know what route he would like them to run. That player then lines up and runs the one on one drill against the defender. As the rep is being run the next QB and receiver combo are discussing the route the next receiver will run.
As soon as the current play is complete or incomplete the next group should be ready. The cycle carries on until everyone has a few reps and it keeps everyone involved. You should be able to run 5-6 reps a minute.
