O-Line Uncovered Step Drill - The uncovered step is a technique used by offensive linemen that is essentially based on the traditional bucket step. - This specific footwork is a fundamental component used to successfully execute double-team blocks. - While the covered offensive lineman takes a two-step approach, the uncovered lineman must execute a short bucket step followed by a second step aimed directly up the defender's crotch. - During the execution of the block, linemen are coached to keep their eyes on the defender's thigh to read their movement. - When working a double team to the second level, linemen should drive the defensive lineman toward the linebacker and only disengage to climb when the linebacker is within an arm's length. - Coaches should emphasize a heavy second step to generate movement and maintain a low pad level to effectively drive defenders off the line of scrimmage. Jay Long, Head Coach, Chadron State @CoachJayLong #glazierclinics

O-Line Snag Drill - The snag drill requires offensive linemen, defenders with dummies, and a partner who grabs and snags the offensive lineman's ankle. - Snagging the ankle reinforces the need for the offensive lineman to drive their knee and leg forward with power when taking a step. - Coaches should emphasize the importance of the second step and ensure players are driving it directly up the crotch of the defender. - Effective movement during the drill involves maintaining low pad level, achieving a strong thumb lift with the inside arm, and driving up the board. - Ankle flexibility is critical and is defined as having all cleats in the ground while being able to position the kneecap directly over the toe. - Offensive linemen must avoid taking a first step that is too large, as it prevents proper knee-over-toe positioning; instead, they should take a short step, often around six inches.

O-Line Covered Step Drill - This offensive line drill utilizes the lines on a turf field or painted boxes to simulate old-school board drills. - To maximize individual time, coaches can line up multiple players along every five-yard line to get a high volume of repetitions in a short period. - The first movement, or the power step, is a short step used to transfer weight from the backside big toe to the lead leg to create power. - On the coach's second command, players execute the drive step, which provides the actual movement and force of the block. - Players must ensure their second step lands in front of their first step, driving that foot up the crotch of the defender and upfield. - While players in the drill may fall forward without resistance, in a game scenario, this momentum is used to strike the defender in a proper fit.
