Butler)
1. Fox Hole a. Can I trust you? (can't trust = can't coach) a. Do you care?
1. What we say here, stays here, when we leave here. 1. Relentless effort to be great! 1. Tool Box - Learn your trade. 1. Ego Away 1. Meeting Room
a. Have fun: work when time 1. Be the Head Coach of position.
Offensive Line Techniques
Mate Blocking = gap-zone; combo/double team blockingPrinciples must be worked and preached everyday for zone blocking.
1. Hip 2 Hip 1. 4 eyes on LB 1. OL to side of LB working to deliver ball w/ shoulder 1. Cover/Uncovered w/ indicator system 1. Step to LB 1. Arm to LB free
Deliver Guy = guy coming off (inside hand push off)
Take over Guy = guy who takes over
Deliver/Take Over
Drills = pre-fit, stance to pre-fit, stance to live (Step near foot to LB; combo to)
Zone Blocking Concept
1. Zone: 2-3-4; OL & TE working together 1. Evolution
A. Attack ODD/Slanting A. Gives angles/advantages A. Run-off/no worry
1. Numbering System A. Center ID's = find "0" A. Finds by on or over playside player A. Rules:
i. PSTE - PS gap to #3 i. PST - PS gap to #2 i. PSG - PS gap to #1 i. C - PS gap to #0 i. BSG - PS gap to #1 i. BST - PS gap to #2
Covered/Uncovered
1. Covered = outside shade/head up inside 1. Uncovered = is the DL on the covered man shaded to you or away
Align
1. Covered - up as close to LOS as possible 1. Uncovered as deep off the LOS as possible
If you get an outside shade:Away: from the run = Wedge Step/1 hand onTo: the run = 2 hands on
