Offensive Line Group Pass Protection Drills

Purpose

To simulate and develop one on one protection situations.

Description

  • All 5 offensive linemen get in their stances with proper alignment and splits for a pass.
  • A defender lines up across from each lineman.
  • On the command by the coach one defender will rush and one offensive lineman will protect.
  • The other 4 linemen will work on their pass sets and pouch as the defender across from them will rush on the snap and stop at the contact point.
  • Rotate through, so all 5 linemen get a live repetition, then repeat

(You can also simulate various defensive alignments)

Coaching Points

Use the Pass-block drill on the Footwork freeze drills to work on getting into a pass set. Must concentrate on proper foot position

Equipment

  • Balls (if used with live snap)
  • Stand Up Blocking Dummy (as QB-target for the pass rushers)
