Duo Combos
- high knee mentality, get hip to hip thru gallop, trigger lead or drive block
- OT want to gallop vs. angle drive allows you to track near backer easier compared to power where you are working further back
- OC high knee gallop to DL or brace step then rock back to…
At a high school spring ball practice this morning at 6:30 am in Georgia and a senior player pulled aside a freshman to explain why it wasn't acceptable to be late for the practice, to not let his teammates down. Why high school football is so important.
Open Pull Drill
- Used for Ctr/Pin & Pull
- Can change up distances for pull
- Work on punch/shoulder strike
- Work on foot timing & being under control for strike, not lunging into block

Hoping for camps this summer but way we evaluate OL in camp. Want to see how you bend, squat without bending at waist with full feet in ground. How do you explode from a kneeling stance (hip flip) and from a 1 knee pass set. Like to see how you move your own body weight.
Angle Drive in Gap Scheme Combo
- drop step depth/width based on DL location, ability to get to dbl team
- get eyes/near hand to DL ribs, our far hand to hip/thigh
- drive thru contact, push off DL to climb to 2nd level LB
- U LB out if he scrapes nice job

-great job

Signing an NLI today? Awesome! Walking on somewhere today? Awesome! Making a decision later than today? Awesome!
Going to play D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO or prep? Awesome!
Playing football in college is fun. Make brothers for life who will carry you thru fun and tough times.
OZ reach
- departure angle based on DL alignment
- drop step/drive off instep hips at angle needed to get to landmark
- Aim for far shoulder, sprint till you reach target, press vertical once reached with BS hand, if short rip BS hand thru run to sideline
- great job
@mcnish_mike
Fight to Flatten & Rockback/Richocet

Love gallop technique. Square, powerful, loading weight on back foot to spring into the block, keeping inside knee high, not turning shoulders when delivering blow to a 3 tech. Good 1st 2 steps by guards, staying square, 2nd step high knee, tearing defenders inside.

#OLine
Skip Pull Drill
- work on getting depth off the ball

-lose little ground, brace yourself to drive 2nd step vertical or into ground now vs tight dl
-strike under breast plate of DL focus on lifting dl then driving
-great job

Love the job RG does here. Good skip pull, fights to stay square is tight to the line & the down blocks frontside, does a great job meeting LB square in whole & tearing him out of gap. Physical finish! Excited to get back to work with these guys today!

Stick drill. Works controlling body lean/weight distribution, playing with tight elbows, good base & overall balance when engaged. Key things in this clip. Need to fight bull rush, don't allow arms to collapse. Other OL is telling him to squeeze the knees, be on insteps of feet.
Skip to Overtake OZ
- push off ps foot to skip out of stance
- depth of skip can change based off DL alignment, who you work with in combo
- Reach 3 steps before climb
- reach DL keep sealed or run him past read spot
- great job

OL coaches would love your thoughts on deuce block DBL teams, flipper or hand on the strike and hip roll for the OG? I've taught both, always feel the flipper gives you more power 3 points of contact Forearm, shoulder, near knee but hand allows you to tear easier.

Open pull on gap
- Generate movement opposite pull foot, 1st step into ground fast

- pull rt hit rt, establish base precontact
- hit target thick 3 pts of contact knee forearm shoulder
- vs spill force inside kick out log on def LOS
If you are afraid to condemn white supremacists on national TV you arent a man that can lead a country that diversity has built. White supremacists are the worst monsters I have ever dealt with in my life where I grew up. Condemn evil.
Drive Block vs. tight DL
- Quick 1st 2 steps root yourself get hips/feet loaded, ok to lose little ground to brace yourself
- drive feet thru initial contact, reset hands if miss on initial strike
- when DL tries to escape, torque dl
Great job

If you haven't signed anywhere on signing day, don't despair. Your journey may be different. Never had a signing day myself. Wound up being a full scholarship player. Find a way to play football in college, you will never regret that decision in your life.
Tight Drive
- 1st step brace step, 2nd step vertical, thumbs up strike with palms, fire feet
- see thru target, 1st clip head follows hands into block, dont want that, find teaching with helmet off 1st gets them to hit with hands bring hips keep head out
Nice job

Quick first two steps & uppercut by RG, good job tearing DL out of gap. Good gallop by RT, stays square, keeps knee high to deliver dbl team. Like to see full cleats in ground. Good job with right hand striking hip of 3 tech to move him into A gap.

- Create space setting off ball
- Protect your non snap shoulder
- Great tool to shock defender keep leverage
- Violent strike to stop bull rush

Some good flexibility & explosive movements I like to evaluate when we do camps. How well can you sink with full feet in the ground without bending at waist or being on toes. Can you do hip flip explode from kneeling stance, move your body's own natural weight.

Big thank you to my mom this year. Has never missed a game I played or coached. She got a second job and worked 18 hour days six days a week so she could fly to see us play in Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, the Bahamas and Miami. You are always my inspiration.
Trigger Lead

- 3 points of contact knee, forearm, shoulder, keep high knee driving

Best position on the OL Center. The field general, have to love fb & be a student of the game. Ability to read safeties, id blitz. Key thing, when working snapping, work your movement set. Lot of guys at camps snap it & never move. Work footwork, off hand, your hips etc.
#PawsUp
LOVE this sound! 4PT/6PT Drill. Working hip explosion/strike. Key points, extension of hips, you see early reps where we aren't fully unlocking. Later full hip explosion. Do this after warmup to fully waken hips. Always correct eyes, see what you strike.

Want to say thank you to everyone that wished Ashley and I congratulations. Yesterday was the best victory kneel ive ever done. Hope everyone has an amazing new years.
Simple pull drill I like in off season. Work your skip pull & trap pull same time. Just use pop up if you don't have enough teammates to hold med balls or bags. Good working just simple explosion through bags/target with hands. Simple conditioning work as well

Remember the day after signing day in HS not having an NLI to sign, not sure what to do. Keep grinding young men! Everyone's journey is different. Didn't sign scholarship papers till my redshirt freshman year in college. Don't turn down opportunities to play the game you love.
Working hand combat
-keep simple but have changeups
- if can hit/strike with 1 hand engage now with 1 get DL to 2nd move early in rush
-if DL shoulders to you or can strike with 2 dbl punch
-hand fakes/inside punches good ctr tools to change up strike
Great job

Sickle Pull
