The Bull Rush is one of the best pass rush moves and penetration skills that you can learn as a defensive lineman. Try this football defensive drill at your next practice for great results.
What you need – Pair up defensive linemen against each other. They should be approximately the same size.
How this drill works – With the two defensive linemen matched up with one another, one needs to be the ‘offensive’ lineman to start, as the other practices the bull rush.
The player that starts as the offensive lineman will turn his back to the defensive lineman to start the football drill. The offensive lineman will provide resistance to the defensive lineman by pushing back as the defensive lineman pushes forward. The object of this drill is to get work on the bull rush.
Once the defensive lineman starts to push, in the beginning the offensive lineman should just give limited, but firm resistance. Then, the should drop quickly into a sit position and the defensive lineman not only needs to hold him up, but needs to push him forward. The sit position automatically provides more resistance to the DL.
Result – Your defenders are going to get better with their bull rushes and begin to build the strength they need to collapse the pocket on pass plays.
