from running through dycks to knocking away dycks from your face...Dammit mane
Pretty funny and I'd love to hear what the point of this drill is. Perhaps it's just for fun.
The drill teaches D lineman to fight off the blocks from the O-line. Look at the *****'s as the O-linemans arms.. hes teaching the kids to battle the punches and holds and leverage blocks trying to control the D-linemans body. These are the drills when you do it consistently enough is what makes these D-lineman hard to block b/c they are used to being hit and attacked from all directions and every angle..
It forces your guys to use their hands.. which becomes muscle memory.
That's the idea of the drill but the coach is clearly ******** around and doing things that an O-lineman would never do. O-linemen aren't throwing punches and swinging at a D-lineman's head.
I do this same drill with my D-linemen but I aim for their chest area to replicate what an O-lineman would do. It's football not boxing. (they're boxing in this drill)
I don't have a problem with it because it still teaches active hands, which is what you want, but some of it unnecessary and not relative to the game.
