If you’re looking for [tag]free lineman football drills[/tag], give these two a try.   We use these often, the players love them   and the results are immediate.

The Circle Drill
Have your team make a big circle.   Give a ball to any player and have him start running along inside the circle.     Call out a player to run across the circle to make the tackle.   He keeps going until he makes the [tag]tackle[/tag].   When he makes the tackle, he gets up and runs the [tag]football[/tag] while the other player goes back to his place on the circle and takes a knee.   You keep doing this until everyone is on a knee.     This teaches the tackler to take a proper angle to make a tackle.

Here’s another [tag]football drill[/tag] we like.   I have all my linemen get on their knees across from another lineman to where their hands reach the other flat handed on the chest.   They take turns on the coach’s whistle to bring their hands up from their sides and extend their hands into the person across from them.   Thumbs up, palm inward starting with elbows bent then extending to full reach.

If they can do this from their hands down to their sides they can surely get the jump on the [tag]defensive linemen[/tag] trying to put a rush on.
