Football Plays – First to the QB

Quick reaction and a desire to get into the backfield are great defensive traits and football plays that need to be practiced.

What you need – You can set up tackling dummies for each defensive player to work with on the offensive line and as RB’s (held by players, etc.)

How this drill works – The football coach will call out the cadence, and upon the snap of the ball, each defensive player gets one quick move against the tackling dummy and then they have to get to the quarterback.

They cannot make more than one move, because this takes too much time to reach the QB, so players who try to make too many moves will not usually get to the QB. Emphasize one quick move in this drill and then to the QB. First one there gets a point.

Result – Players will learn to break off the snap of the ball, make a move and get to the ball carrier.
