One on One Pass Protection Drill
Set Up:
1.
One dummy or other tall object (e.g. chair, step ladder, pole)
2.
Two players (defensive and offensive lineman)
3.
Mark an area of about 3 yards in width and 5 yards in length
4.
Place the object at the end of the five yard area
Procedure:
Have the O-Lineman get in a three point stance at the beginning of the 5 yard strip (opposite to end of pole). Have the D-Lineman in a four point stance app. 1 yard in front of the offensive lineman. As soon as the O-lineman moves the D-Lineman will rush the quarterback (object) staying within the 3 yard wide boundary. The O-Lineman must attempt to block him as long as possible. After about ten seconds or if the D-Lineman touches the object the play is over.
Coaching Points:
Watch for good pass blocking technique (but low, knees bent, short choppy steps)
Objective:
To practice pass rushing and blocking with a limited amount of equipment and personnel.
