Offensive Line Line-up Drill

OBJECTIVE

This drill is designed to teach the players on the offensive line to take the proper position and splits at the line of scrimmage. 

POINTS OF EMPHASIS

• Coach will check for proper spacing. Guards should be split a foot and a half from the Center with a toe-heel relationship. The Tackles should be 3 feet from the Guards in almost a toe-toe relationship and the Ends should be split three and a half feet from the tackles, also in a toe-toe relationship. Check to see that the tackles and ends are not lined up  in the backfield.  Repeat the process several times.
