Football - Beat Your Man Drill

Purpose:

Teaches good fundamentals of blocking, holding the block, and fighting through the block.

Procedure:

Set-up bags or cones on both sides of the players 5-6 feet apart. This limits the lateral distance each player can move.

The coach stands behind the defensive player and assigns the direction he wants the blocker to take the defender. The defender needs to read the block and fight through the pressure to the hole.
