4 New Drills on FootballDrills.com

Add

Last week I already put up the Running Back Jump Cut Drill, a drill to work on the ability of the Running Back to adjust his running path in the very last split of a second to hit the open spot and accelerate as fast as possible. I invented this drill so the Running Back can run confident full speed towards the designated POA even if it looks closed. So he won’t adjust to what looks like daylight too early giving the Linebackers time to react to his change of direction. With this drill the Running Back will be able to attack the designated POA and make his adjustments when the linebackers have already committed themselves into traffic and can’t see the Running Back adjusting…

Another Drill I just added is the Linebacker Shuffle Hips Drill. A drill to work on feet quickness (shuffle) not crossing the feet when sliding, and hip quickness when necessary to turn and sprint.

Then I also added two Defensive Backs Tackling Drills: The Defensive Backs Strip Drill and Fumble Recovery and the Defensive Backs Sideline Tackling Drill.

The first works on stripping the football closing in on a ball carrier from behind and subsequently casing the fumble recovering it or even picking it up and running. The progression of this drill also works on improving the Corner back’s or Safety’s ability to judge it right if it’s save/worth trying to pick up the football or if it’s better to “just” fall on the ball.

The latter drill teaches the defensive back to use the sideline to his advantage but also that, even though the sideline is his friend, it won’t make the tackle for him :-)
