O-line pass protection [tag]football drill[/tag]: Let’s Dance

Each lineman has a partner.   The linemen face each other, with the lead dancer(Offensive Lineman) in the “sitting in the chair” position, with his hands locked behind him. On the voice command of the [tag]football coach[/tag] (who is standing behind the O-linemen), the d-linemen move from side to side.

The O-linemen have to keep their hands locked behind them, while “shadowing” the movement of the d-linemen. The O-linemen have to keep their heads up and their butts in the “chair”.

The key is to get the O-linemen to follow the hips of the D-linemen with their eyes. Wherever the hips go, the defender goes.

We do this [tag]football[/tag] drill on a daily basis with our O-linemen, and it really helps them in pass protection.
