Summer is for building strain, finish, and movement habits.
Good OL drills donโt just wear players out - they teach body position and movement patterns that show up on Friday nights.
Great strain drill from Kris

Pass Pro Training ๐ฅ
Develop athleticism and expose yourself to new skills!
- PVC allows us to measure wether we are staying SQUARE to air before contact
- The Med Ball forces us to DRIVE off the inside leg violently
- The Strike Stick is active hands
#PlayOL#OLPRIDE
Playing SQUARE in Pass Pro ๐ฅ
An awesome rep showing the OL
- Ankle Lead out of set
- Stab and Grab with independent hands
- Fighting pressure with pressure
ALL to maintain posture, stay square, and MAKE EM QUIT

Rice OL coach Sanders Davis - Teaching Independent Hands in Pass Protection
Outside Hand
- Used for initial strike. Should often be involved in the punch.
- Aiming point is far pec/logo. Used to put force through the outside half of the defender so he can't turn your body.
- Should not stretch out & open your chest vs a wide rush. Punch presented surface.
Inside Hand
- Used to prevent inside move + provide secondary support if outside hand gets swatted. Provides control vs bull rush.
- Should not punch across midline w/ inside hand (stay square).
- If defender gives chest, take chest w/ both hands.
- Use defender's pads/arm for a surface to lift + control.
Great drill work and examples of PASS PRO
Regardless of the type of set we take, we must stay SQUARE, emphasize moving our FEET before using hands, and keep our head out of the STRIKE, keep the rusher in front of us! #OLPRIDE
Tackle Sets
- 4 sets (Jump/Quick/45/Vertical)
- JS eat up space attack inside out, (visual we say is smell their breath, close that much space) heavy inside hand to stop inside rush, strong outside hand blow to widen rush, outside shoulder target if swing/bubble to protect throw
- QS flat as possible want to cover ground quick get in their face but play longer than JS
- 45 base Set, set them on angle to defeat speed & knock them outside create wide dish, take an angle to take them off their rush, still heavy inside hand focus to take away b gap rush
- Vertical when expecting true speed or twist, create initial space, talk about first big kick then settle pace to match theirs
- stay square, turn shoulders when they do but always maintain leverage
- General aiming points your near hand to their far armpit, inside hand heavy catch hand (think grab bicep/tricep if inside move)
- two hand punch heavier inside near armpit pec location for inside hand
- will drill in pre practice the set tree and in practice partner rush where dl will get 2 to 3 rushes on you and OL has to do different set each time rapid fire
- Great job by these guys #5STRONG #BIGDAWGS
