D-Line Agile Pad Get-off Drill
- They utilize an agile bag drill to practice the defensive line's get-off.
- The agile bag is placed right up against the drive leg of the D-Linemen.
- The goal is to literally launch off the drive leg to gain ground and get over the agile bag.
- The defensive lineman should get their drive leg up against the bag and go off on movement.
- You want to see the player jump, leave the ground, and get full extension off that drive leg.
- The player should gain ground with a 45-degree shin angle.
- The technique involves closing space and gaining ground; the player should avoid being "choppy".
- The drill can be a competitive race, or the players can simply focus on getting off.
- One variation of the drill involves players racing, where the first one to touch the coach's hands wins, going off on movement.
