These linebacker football drills are effective in teaching your offensive lineman how to use their hips and hands to to deliver punishing blocks.
1. Have the offensive line get on their knees in this football drill.
2. Have them place their butt on their heels, chest slightly forward, elbows in, thumbs up, eyes looking straight forward.
3. Place a defensive lineman in front of each O-lineman, standing about 1 foot away slightly bent forward.
4. On the “hit” command instruct the OL to explode their hips forward, arms up and through the DL’s numbers.
5. Focus on good posture. Elbows in, thumbs up, hips forward, head up and looking down field.
6. If you want to intensify this football drill a little have the DL to fall forward a little to emphasize the Pop of that initial blow and to try to force the DL back on their heels.
