A pull-from-anytime set, sorted by what it builds. Pick two or three per session — don't run them all. (All of it is backyard-doable with a bag, a partner, or a wall.)
Good three-point stance, explode out low and violent on the count for a few steps, reset. The first step wins the block — short, quick, downhill.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "Fire on the count — first step short, quick, and downhill."
Stay Low — Under the Pads
Fire out and drive a bag while staying low — hips sunk, back flat, pads under the defender's pads. Low man wins; it's physics, not a saying.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "Sink your hips, pads under pads, bend the knees not the back."
From a fit position, drive the bag back with feet chopping, staying low the whole way. Where "finish the block" becomes a habit.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "Feet never stop, stay low, drive him off the ball."
Fire the hands inside — thumbs up, on the chest inside the framework — and lock on. Inside hands control legally; wide or late hands grab or get shed.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "Hands inside, thumbs up — control him, don't grab him."
Kick and slide without crossing the feet, stay square and low, anchor, and punch. Balanced, patient feet that mirror a rusher.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "Kick and slide, stay square, low, and patient."
Fire off, fit, and drive until a second count — finishing every rep, feet chopping, never letting up. Relentlessness is the lineman's identity.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "To the whistle, every time — never let up."
Building a session: stance-and-get-off to warm up, a pad-level block, a hands block, and finish-to-the-whistle to close. Rotate which leads so no part of his game goes stale.
