Football Offensive Lineman Drills

It’s really hard for my OL to keep a wide base when blocking. Try these football offensive lineman drills with your linemen. Use your blocking dummies in order to instill in them that they need a wide base and to use short choppy steps. At first it is difficult, but they will begin to understand they need a wide base to keep their balance.

Another thing to work on is staying low on both offense and defense. I used the Duck Walk last night so that they could get the feel of where I wanted them to be as well as building up leg strength. However, I also like to stack tackling dummies so that they form an entryway or door if you will. On my count they must fire off the football, stay low through the entryway, and engage another tackling dummy. If they kick the dummy on top they automatically know they are too high.

Football coaching needs a wide variety of good football drills in order to keep each practice fresh, new and exciting. It’s tough to keep the players attention if they are constantly doing the same drills over and over and over. I would also think it would be boring to the coaching staff as well.
