Football Offensive Line Drills, How Champions Are Made
Written by Ricci Russell on February 28, 2010 – 10:11 am -Most people will have differing opinions when you ask them what the most important position is on a football field. Some will more than likely say the quarterback, and some will tell you the name of another position. However would any of these positions really be able to score effectively without the offensive linemen?
It is for this reason that the offensive linemen must be in shape. If they are out of shape in anyway they will effectively create a whole in their line allowing for the other teams defenders to break through and essentially attack their quarterback. The drills that the linemen have help teach them to be quick, strong and to definitely build muscle.
The first drill ends up placing one offensive lineman at the bottom of a hill. Placed on the hill are 2 defensive linemen. The offensive linemen in this case linemen 1 needs to push one of them up the hill as quickly as he can. Once the whistle is then blown the 1st linemen then needs to switch to the 2nd defender and try to push him up the hill as well. This is an extremely ravaging exercise that helps the linemen build strength, stamina, and endurance.
