D-Line Press to Scoop Drill
- The press to scoop drill is designed for defensive linemen to handle situations where they encounter a double team combo or a zone block.
- When positioned on the backside of a play, the player must work to press the scoop as flat as possible against the line of scrimmage.
- It is critical to get hands on the offensive player to prevent them from getting a free release to the second level of the defense.
- Players are coached to keep their inside arm long, strong, and fully locked out while adjusting their position during the play.
- To maintain power and leverage, the defensive lineman should work to get their inside leg up, utilizing a same hand and same foot technique.
- If two blockers remain on the defensive lineman, another defender is free; once one blocker leaves, the lineman must be prepared to come off the block and
make the play.

Reach block defeat drill under the chute.
Knockback reach blocks to make the ball carrier bubble, cutback or stop his feet. Eyes, hands & hips. Just one of several ways to defeat the reach! #StopTheRun

D-Line 6-Point - 3-Point Drill
- During the six-point drill, defensive linemen should focus on pushing directly from the ground to generate power.
- Successful execution requires the player to explode out of their hips to fully unlock their power.
- When transitioning to a three-point stance layout, the player must keep their feet locked into the ground throughout the movement.
- Coaches should ensure that hands go straight from the ground to the opponent or sled without any backward cocking motion.
- Maintaining proper upper body posture is critical, which includes keeping the eyes up, the chin up, and the neck braced or bowed.
- Ideal hand technique involves placing the thumbs up with elbows tucked in to achieve a great lockout against the target.
