Offensive Line Mirror Drill

Purpose

To develop the ability to move and maintain the proper relationship with a moving defender.

Description

  1. Place 2 cones on a line about 4-5 yrds apart.
  2. Have 2 offensive linemen between the cones in hitting position faceing each other, hands behind their back.
  3. One lineman mimics the defender, shuffling between the two cones, and have the other one “mirror” his movements.
  4. Continue for about 6-10 seconds.

Coaching Points

  • make sure the offensive lineman, stays in a good hitting position all the time
  • quick short choppy steps, keeping the feet always at least shoulderwidth apart.
  • the offensive lineman has to stay in front of the “defender” all of the time, he must not trail him.

Equipment

  • 2 cones
