Linebacker Key Drills

© More from this issue

The objective of this drill is to get as many reps as possible with all the linebackers. This drill lets a coach focus on flow and pulls by the offense. With small linebacker groups, you can still get quality work.

First, have the offensive line hold bags to lower the impact, however, the offensive line must still bend down into a good stance.

Then place the running back between 6-7 yards deep. Teach the linebackers the offensive line's footwork to improve the drill. Linebackers can rip or two-hand punch the blockers. Offset the running back for shotgun teams. All players rotate from blocker to the back of the linebacker line and from the linebacker to blocker. The running back remains the same throughout the drill.

Use the quick count and get a lot of reps.
