Tampa Glazier Clinic Notes 2012

Steve Campbell- Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College Offensive Line Drills
-work on footwork, hand placement, recognition, etc. in the offseason -does most of his pass pro work in the offseason (run first spread offense) Drills: -wave drill- good posture, knees inside ankles, back arched, all cleats in the ground, keep butt down, side to side, kick slide, power slide, duck walk -kick slide- hands up and busy, kick slide, eyes in gap, keep shoulders square, no false step, make sure knee is always inside the ankle of the kick foot -post and pound- have body weight opposite my kick or pound step, keep knee inside ankle -6 point- explode into bag from 6 point stance, hat and hands should hit together, get total extension, explode up and through. Hit through, not to. Likes to hit bodies better than the sled because the hands have to stay tighter -fit drill- butt down, back flat, duck walk him off the LOS, turn it into a run when his weight goes back. The wider base I have, the more control I have, the narrower the base, the more power I have -drive block (inside zone covered block)- snatch hands back, punch, drive, finish, hit with hat and hands, slight drop step on first step -settle flipper (inside zone covered backside blocker)- step to the man, settle step, flipper and lift, fight pressure with pressure -combos- covered backside- settle flipper with eyes on LB; uncovered w/ frontside gap-drive block hat to inside number; stay on double team until LB comes to you or you take the DL to the LB -reach block (outside zone)- stretch step and get to his armpit, rip and knock it back if neighbor inside is uncovered; if you are uncovered, pull and overtake; if neighbor inside is covered, get 2 hands on and drive him wide by yourself -pull and overtake (outside zone)- get to the armpit, pull and get out there, flat down the line, if the DL widens beyond me, turn up for LB -*they try to run outside zone to an A-gap and 5 side of the defense

-outside zone combos- reach, rip, escape; pull and overtake; covered guy, DO NOT go around, knock him back -scoops- pull get some depth and get around, put them on the ground (cut them); drill involves coach standing in the A-gap and players much get around him -pass pro- mirror drill- get chest, shoulders and head out when you punch -punch drill- hands need to stay tight and quick

Brian Jones- University of Missouri Mizzou Run Game

QB Power/ TB Sweep-frontside- double to the backside LB, backside guard pulls for frontside LB, backside tackle has pull-check -run from different formations to put stress on the defense Power/ Sweep pass-full gap reach protection (sprint out protection)

Mark Loudermilk- Valdosta High Offensive Line Fundamentals

-backside hand needs to punch and grab so the defender cannot come underneath the block on outside zone -inside zone landmark is outside number Pass Pro Fundamentals -set starts form the ground up -elbows on knees, put hand on thigh and push straight up -can make a punch belt out of a weight belt and rubber bands -bag weave is a great footwork drill (kick slide across, post step back, power slide across, post step back, repeat -push/pull drill- keep head up; use a dowel rod or curl bar -if you cant handle the bull rush with the post slide, then hop-hop-cut Valdosta Strength and Conditioning -Key to success- consistent and relentless program -only time the kids arent lifting is on holidays from school (except summer) -warm-up: Monday and Thursday-Ladder/ Dynamics Tuesday and Thursday- Hurdles/ Dynamic -Weight program Week 1Week 2Week 3Week 4Week 5Week 6Week 73 x 5, 5, 5 or more = 65%, 75%, 85% 3 x 3, 3, 3 or more = 75%, 85%, 90% 5-3-1 or more = 75%, 85%, 95% 3 x 5, 5, 5 or more 3 x 3, 3, 3 or more 5-3-1 or more Max out

Frank Verducci- University of Florida Offensive Line Fundamentals

Run blocking-3 aspects to develop in offensive linemen: power, technique, and will/ attitude -work from the feet up -4 Hs of delivering a blow: hat, hands, hips, heels -we want to suffocate the block- take the air out of the block -angle on a LB drill for zone plays- mirror the LB down the line- finish with head across -double team block- same foot, same shoulder; keep the common foot up; inside guy on the double team is the eyes of the double team -keep thumbs up when you strike

-knee has to stay inside the ankle on inside zone -work on the center snapping with his off hand Pass Blocking-from the feet up -weight on the post foot, back foot is light -tackle want the outside foot down the middle of the defender -knee has to be inside the ankle (outside leg) -test hip flexibility by having knee drop and keep foot on the ground -toe stays as perpendicular to the LOS as possible -be very specific about where the eyes are looking -Guard- post foot inside defenders inside foot, outside foot is inside his outside foot -tilt body opposite foot movement -Center- stay between your man and the QB (play basketball) -emphasize physicality constantly -dont put your hands on the man unless you have violent intentions -teach hips sink on punch -if pads come at me low- power move; if they come at me high- game -when defender is close enough to shake his forearm, PUNCH -hands need to be up in an attack position -Tackle- stop (wide, speed rusher) with one hand and get hands off, then reset the hand and use inside hand to collapse (and control) the hip -if we have more blockers than rushers, someone better be on the ground getting the crap beat out of them (clean the pocket)
