Cane Big Drill

Our Oklahoma drill was an alley-type drill. It would start with center/nt and a back. A coach behind the NT picked the side the back went to. Center had to block/NT fight through. Back was forbidden to run outside of the alley. After a few reps we'd a G and LB. Then add an OT and DE, finally add FB and S. It would wind up with half an offense (C, G, OT and FB, and half an interior defense, NT, DE, LB, S) with a coach behind the defense picking the RB hole. Those players would exit and new cycle would start.
 
No matter the name or the variation, the concept was to dominate the man in front of you, basically to see who the bad azzes are.

Mine was a bit different, but same idea. Tackling pads made an alley, and you had QB/RB/OL on one side and DT/LB on the other. Coach would stand behind the defense and point the direction he wanted the back to go, no cutbacks allowed. Defense had to get them on the ground to "win" the rep.

Did it to start every Tuesday practice. 21 reps, losing side had to run laps, winning team got a water break.
