Football Practice Drills – Half Side Offense vs Defense

This is a great full speed football practice drill that only involves select members of the offense and defense. Football Practice Drills

What you need – This is primarily a football drill for running plays so the only players we will need are the center, guard, tackle, QB and 1 RB for this drill – and a DT a DE and one linebacker.

How this drill works – The football coach will stand behind the defense and show the offense which hole they are going to run the ball to. The offense will approach the line of scrimmage and run the play.

On offense, the object is to execute each block, and to seal the linebacker for the runner to make it through the line unscathed. The defense needs to fight against the block, and the linebacker has to shed or avoid the block and make the tackle.

Give the offense one point for the RB making it through the line, and give the defense a point for a tackle within 5 yards and 2 points for a tackle behind the LOS.

Result – Aside from the healthy competition, this is a great blocking and tackling drill that simulates game situations.
