Many coaches email me asking for [tag]linebacker football drills[/tag]. Here is one suggestion that has works well. Give this one a try!
THREE HOLE – PICK – A – HOLE
Works with Running Backs and Line Backers
RB- BALL CARRYING SKILL ALONG WITH CUT TO HOLE AND ATTACK ON DEFENDER
LB- PURSUIT AND TACKLE, NOT TO OVERPLAY
TOOLS:
4 Cones AND [tag]football[/tag]
SET UP: RB and LB are on opposite sides of the cones, behind the 1st cone. The [tag]football coach[/tag] will pitch the ball to the RB who will secure the football and cut to a hole. Keeping low and attach the defender and drive through him.
Linebacker on the pitch will pursue down the LOS using proper technique. When runner cuts to the hole the LB will step up, keeping in good hitting position and properly tackle the runner. Getting head in correct position, feet in correct position and wrap up the runner the properly. Try to instill in the linebacker, no missed tackles.
We do this [tag]football drill[/tag] daily to instill what we want fundamentally form our backs and linebackers.
