Football Training Drills – Pocket Protection Drill

One of the football training drills that I use is the pocket protection drill. This football drill also make the team come together as a team.

D-line positioned in front of the O-line. I select one O-line to be in the quarterback position. He cannot move or ran away, has to stay in the pocket. That gives the other football players the feeling of the QB and help them understand that they need to keep the pocket as much as they can without quitting.

If an O-lineman let a D-lineman pass through and break the pocket, that O-lineman takes the position of the QB. One by one all O-lineman have to take the QB spot to get the feeling.

Another thing I like to do is scrimmage my offense and defense against each other. Then I switch it around and let them play opposite teams.

This shows them that the neither the offense or defense is better that the other; and, that both are necessary in order to be successful. Not to mention, it can get interesting when I let them call their own football plays.
