“While good weight and height are desirable, one of the most important physical characteristics needed by an offensive lineman is quickness. An offensive lineman my not be the fastest player in a 40-yard dash, but all good offensive linemen are extremly quick in their movement for the first 5 or 10 yards. Great quickness allows an offensive lineman to get into proper position on a defensive player, physically placing himself between the defensive man and the ball carrier, or between the pass rusher and the quarterback.”

Offensive Line Drills

What would a football game be without a good blocking (run and pass) offensive line? 🙂 Nothing! No Runningback would be able to gain a yard, no quarterback would be able to get a single pass thrown without the selfless work of the unsung heroes of the offensive line! Well, as often said, in football it all comes down to blocking and tackling. And the offensive line’s “only” task is blocking. So every team and every coach should give them the credit they deserve and help them to be the best they can be… with great offensive line drills.

	Practice Schedule Elevate your offensive line's performance with this meticulously designed practice schedule, developed by coach Steve Mohr. This blueprint outlines a structured approach to building a dominant front line, combining technical refinement, physical development, and strategic execution. Get ready to transform your offensive line into a force to be reckoned with.
	Daily Drills Dominance in the trenches begins with a strong foundation. These essential pre-practice and daily drills, developed by coach Steve Mohr, are designed to refine technique, build strength, and enhance agility. By incorporating these exercises into your training regimen, you'll develop the physical and mental toughness required to excel in the trenches.
	Footwork Drills These footwork drills for offensive linemen break down the footwork into individual steps and have the players freeze after a given step (usually the first step, which is the most important step) so that they and the coach can verify that it has the correct direction and length (most linemen take too long a step and are therefore too easily thrown off balance when hit by a defender and cannot adjust to an unexpected move by the defender).
	Run Blocking Drills Dominant offensive line play is the cornerstone of a successful rushing attack. These drills are designed to develop the power, technique, and coordination necessary to create holes and protect the quarterback. From fundamental blocking techniques to advanced combo blocks, this collection of exercises will elevate your offensive line's performance to the next level.
	Pass Blocking Drills A stout offensive line is the cornerstone of a successful passing attack. These drills are designed to develop the power, technique, and agility necessary to neutralize pass rushers and create ample time for the quarterback. From fundamental pass sets to advanced pass protection schemes, this collection of exercises will elevate your offensive line's performance and protect your quarterback.
