2. Hey Dave, blocking is the key! Have your line pair up and start from a three point stance. On your go the players come from a three point stance and block their partner..both sides should practice offensive blocking! Stop on the whistle reset and repeat. We implemented this drill this season and it has helped get our O-line moving forward and really strengthened their blocking. Also try running the Wing it allows for better lead blocking for RB's and sets up two backs to block during the passing game.
