"Pianola" Drill on 7-man sled:
Forearms
Flippers
Hand Shivers
Staying in Football-"hitting" Position (head up, knees bent, on balls of feet, pads out), hitting a blow, moving feet on balance, being quick (and a little conditioning although that is very much secondary).
If I could do only one, especially teaching young players how to protect themselves-be "hitter instead of hittee" - this would be it!

I dont understand the question; are you asking what is the one drill we feel is the best drill we have? Or are you asking if we have a drill that works for players from all the diverse positions (works with DL as well as QB)?

Anything that makes them sprint and change direction.

I like every drill laid out above but my favorite is anything involving open-field tackling. It teaches the kids the "toughness" aspect of the game along with the technical details necessary to play the game.

We do a lot of 1on1 run blocks when I feel my OL is lacking in the toughness category

We run what we call the volunteer drill. Basically it's the Oklahoma drill w/ 3 layers.
1st group is 1OL v. 1DL inside bags 2 yards wide.
2nd group is 5 yards behind DL and this group is 1 TE v. 1 LB inside bags 4 yards wide
3rd group is 5 yards behind TE and this is SE v. DB. inside bags 6 yards wide
The bags start from narrow to wide making a V (hence volunteer drill). From start to finish the V is 10 yards long w/ 3 stations of blockers and defenders. One runner has to run through the V trying to get past a DL, LB and DB. It gets pretty ugly in their sometimes. Some real nice collisions. We basically do it once a year (1st day full pads). The kids who love it are usually FB players, the kids who don't are usually kids who like to wear jerseys.

off season - mat drills.
it's not about WHAT you do on the mats. it's about HOW you do it. the procedures that are to be followed. ... which, really, goes with everything in your program. i.e. all programs pretty much do the same "what". the successful ones focus on the "how" & the "why" of each aspect.
in season - "vortex" drill
basically a full team 'oklahoma' drill. ball carrier. 5 yds away you have an OL vs a DL. 5 yds away from that you have a TE/FB vs a LB. 5 more yds down field you have a WR vs a DB. the area the ball carrier can travel is shaped like a V. smaller area at the start - gets wider as he heads downfield.

Like this? Only the 2nd and 3rd levels a little wider |

coachweav88 ... yes. creating the proverbial "space" that 3rd level defenders must contend with.

Coach Huey,
Can you go into a little detail into "how" you do your mat drills? I would love to incorporate mat drills into our offseason drills, but I want to plan them out well.

Defensively: Position specific change of direction drills. You can easily add block shedding and tackling once in pads. Offensively: blocking drills.
