Offensive Line Play
• “Blocking can be developed to a greater
degree than any other phase of football
because it is the most unnatural task. It
requires patience and many hours of hard
work because there are more things to
learn.”
Mike Barry - Former OL Coach
G.O.L.F.
• Get Off
• Leverage

G.O.L.F.
• All drills and techniques are based on this
acronym
• Don’t Clutter there head with all kinds of
things
• If you have all 3 of these, you CAN play!
Get Off

– Teaching progression
• Feet – Elbows – Reach
• Weight distribution
– 4 point 50/50 on Hands and Feet
– 3 point 40/60 on hands and Feet
Get Off
• Stance
– Feet
• Shoulder width apart
• Weight on inside of feet
• Once feet are set – do not move them

Stance

Stance

Playside knee - Drive to playside hip
Backside knee - Drive to crotch
•
•
•
•
–
DO NOT ALLOW SEPARATION
•
–
Coach this from behind
Watch knees
Watch elbows
Good Blocking is nothing more than the backside knee
moving forward while maintaining contact
Smell Armpits
Keep power angles
Finish
• Sustain block for 3 - 5 seconds - keep
balance and pressure to the end! - “smell
armpits”
– DO NOT TELL PLAYERS TO “ROLL THE
HIPS” - this will happen naturally!!!
– Stalemates - can become winners
• Defenders can become off balance - reaching for
tackle
• Sustain blocks for 3-5 seconds
• Keep power angles
Do’s
•
•
•
•
•
Get off the ball
Strive for consistency and perfection
Give 2nd effort - turn 5 yard gain into a TD
Adjust to opponent’s scheme and alignment
Keep in good football position - Power,
Leverage, Balance
• Accelerate - bring knees with power - sustain
Dont’s
• Lunge or overextend
• Are you leading with hands?
• Too big of 1st step?
• Is head down?
• Is 1st step getting you in bad position?
• Lean or commit early
• Be slow off the ball
Different Blocks
• Everything is a Drive Block
• Different Footwork
– Same techniques
– Same coaching points
• Consistency!
Double Teams
• Get movement off the LOS
• Work toward 2nd level defender
– Always secure 1st level defender 1st!
– Blockers will try to leave too quick
• 2 Players work in a Drive-Finish combination
Double Team - Drive
• Regular Drive Block
– All techniques the same
– 1st step is vital
• EXPECT NO HELP!
Double Team - Finish
• Needs to get hip to hip with Drive man
• Aim for the hip of the defender
• Keep shoulders square
– Footwork is important!
• “Feed” defender to Drive man
• If defender’s hip goes away – Get Vertical to 2nd
Level
Double Team
• If defender is a gap player, then both are drive
man
• Who becomes the finish will depend on:
– Movement of the LOS
– Movement of the 2nd level defender

Out or Down Block
• Same footwork

• If hip goes straight ahead
– Eliminate penetration
– Widen hole

Blocking Failures
• Poor Stance
• No Get Off
– Too big of 1st step
•
•
•
•
Ignorance of Assignment
No Contact
Too High – No leverage
Feet Not moving On Contact
– Back knee gaining ground
• Not reading defenders alignment
Drills – Stance & 1st Step
Put their toes on line to make sure feet are straight. After
perfecting stance, go right into 1st step drill. On cadence
Players will step with correct foot and stay there until instructed
to return to stance.
Drills – 2nd Step Drill
Lines move up from 1st step drill. 1st in line executes perfect stance.
Person next in line will grab rt. Ankle firmly. On cadence, offensive player
Will step with lt. foot, as in 1st step drill. (CP – Make sure 1st step is 6 in.)
The Offensive player will have to step with power to take ankle out of grip.
Drills – Happy Place
Players will be in good football position (Simulating after 1st two
steps.) Make sure hips are low, back is straight, eyes are up,
Z in the knees – Push them to stay in this position – Train muscles
Drills – Power Walk
Players are in their happy place. They will then power walk
forward (CP-Make sure 1st step is forward!). Weight on the inside
of their feet (Pound the Ground), Elbows tight, good arm movement.
Can add different directions to this as well.
Power Walk w/ Pressure
5 – 10 yards
2nd part of drill is to then put OL in a fit position
and then power walk.
Switch Drill

OL

OL
Important to make sure that on the switch the
OL sinks hips and gets inside leverage with hands.
Yell “Switch”! Do not blow whistle- only do that
to stop drill.
Boards
Drive defender to end of board. On whistle finish the block by
exploding knees, hips and arms out. Stand behind and look
for knees driving to hip and crotch, as well as elbows tight to the body.
Can use variations by moving boards or lines to simulate veer
Releases, down/out blocks, pulls on traps, etc.
20 Yard Drill
Bring back knee to crotch
Adjust playside knee when
Defender moves – Keep in
balance
Can make this into 10 yard
Drill for more explosion and
to work on 3 techs and
fan blocks
Cage Drill
5 yards
5 yards
Have body under control
Sink Hips
Leverage
Good footwork
Competitive drill used to teach blocking linebackers. Divide
OL into two teams. OL starts in stance on edge of cage. OL has
5 seconds to knock LB out of the cage. OL gets 1 pt for knocking
out of cage, 2 pts for a knockdown. LB gets a point for winning.
Practice Plans

Team Pass Breakdown
Drill is 1 on 1 live between 2 different groups (OL/DL and E and DB)
Both groups go until they hear a whistle. If E catches the ball, DB looks to
tackle in open field. After their rep, the drill switches to the other side. When
drill comes back to right side, it will be RB vs. LB with same rules.
