My team on Patreon is a group of dedicated offensive line coaches and players interested in details of offensive line play.
The goal is to share everything I've learned about OLine in the hopes of helping others grow. I've created hundreds of posts and videos with six new posts each week.

If the 99-02 had the passing game that 03-09 had things would had been much better .99-02 Corey was running against 8 man sometimes 9 man Boxes cuz we had no passing game
We made it! Our pilgrimage in Spain was 90 miles, 200,000 steps and 30,000 calories over six days. Our group of eight friends accomplished a goal … most of us seniors, the goal was lofty and the challenge demanding.
But hey, I’m a life long football coach who loves nothing more than the lofty goal, the demanding challenge.
From the very first day when we got lost which added two extra miles onto our twenty mile day of brutal elevation changes, to the special celebrations at the end of the day … our group relied on each other. We became a team and picked each other up And at the end of it all we grew as individuals within our team.
If you have the opportunity to challenge yourself on the Camino to Santiago de Compostela then I encourage you to go for it. But if you’re not able …. go ahead and chase those challenges in your orbit.
Final Dress Rehearsal
Tomorrow my wife and 6 friends go to Portugal to hike the Camino to Santiago de Compostela, Spain along with 350,000 other pilgrims who will make this trek this year.
The Cathedral is the resting place of St James. Bucket list. Stay tuned.
Midwest Lineman's Camp June 21-23. The original and largest lineman only technique camp.
Special guest GARETT BOLLES, 2025 All Pro LT https://t.co/ggPMP0y4h0
Biergarten at Disney World Epcot. It’s not like the schnitzel at Sophienkeller or Pauliner in Dresden …. But my waitress was from Cologne and knew how to make a Radler. And the bratwurst was good but not like the altmarktkeller
Sadly no lingonberry jam for the sweinschnitzel. Americans put ketchup on schnitzel and my German friends would cringe
But it’s actually the best German meal I’ve had since Dresden
Garett Bolles unbelievable today.
In the past two years, none of them have sacked him.
Parsons, Garrett, Hendrickson, Burns, Mack, Crosby, Will Anderson, Danielle Hunter, McDonald, Bosa Brothers
Nick Mangold … came to my linemen camp when he was a soph in HS. Years later ran into him at the Pro Bowl.
He asked if I recalled telling him to work hard cuz someday he will play on Sundays. I denied it. No way would I say that to a HS kid. … apparently I did. RIP Nick
I’m at the Broncos/Giants game. Bolles and Thomas against Burns, Thibedeaux, Carter, Bonitto and Cooper. I can’t imagine it gets better than that.
The best game this week. Of course I sit in the end zone to watch the trenches.
Independent Hands Pass Pro Techs
The "2 Hand Puncher" Coaches hate me, but that's ok. I've been teaching these "radical" pass pro techs for over 30 years. In fact before I retired, PFF had graded QB pressures starting in 2001 and over those 17 years our Bengals OL led the league in fewest pressures.
It works!
6 of the top 11 graded OTs by Pro Football Focus this year are clients of ours.
Since retirement, Big Willie and I develop offensive linemen for success in the NFL and help them prepare for the opponents they face every week throughout their career.
Loving Life!
Andrew Thomas is the only OT (min. 20% of pass blocking snaps played) to not allow a SACK, QB hit, QB Hurry or a QB Pressure, per PFF. 🤩

Don’t throw your head SO FAR BACK unless you want put your weight on your heels and expose your chest. Weight on heels prevents simultaneous anchor and foot mvmt
Keep the natural head, shoulders, hips and knee posture as much as possible as you’re covering him with your feet.
