This is a drill for football coaching that will help the fullback and the RB work together to gain the most yards.
What you need – You can use tackling dummies to create holes that the football players must run through, and you can have a linebacker in the hole, about 5 yards from the LOS.
How this drill works – The fullback / running back relationship is an important one. They need to be on the same page as each other in order to gain the most from a run. The running back needs to be able to read the block of the fullback in order to make a cut up field.
On the snap, the fullback and running back will head through a hole, and the fullback engages the linebacker. At this point, the running back needs to make a decision based on the block by the fullback where he is going to run the ball. He can run it straight ahead, or cut to the right or left.
This drill should be run at half-speed to start, so they FB and the RB can get on the same page and learn what each other is going to do. Then, at full speed it makes a great competitive drill.
