Purpose
To develop the ability to move and maintain the proper relationship with a moving defender.
Description
- Place 2 cones on a line about 4-5 yrds apart.
- Have 2 offensive linemen between the cones in hitting position faceing each other, hands behind their back.
- One lineman mimics the defender, shuffling between the two cones, and have the other one “mirror” his movements.
- 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
