We are setting up a different group period next year where we break down and coach O v D in small groups. For example Interior O v D lineman, Ends v Tackles, DB's v WR's (all which is nothing new), etc. Does any one have any good drills or ideas to do with the Defensive ends and Offensive tackles? We may even throw outside LB's in there with that group.

We try to simulate our actual game rules as much as we can in this group setting. We have our defensive ends follow a down block or not get hooked, so during our group periods thats what we do, start with proper hand placement then follow the down block (if there is one) and go wrap up on an agility bag to simulate the tackle being made across the formation, same if there is a run at or outside them, they keep outside leverage without getting run, rip through and tackle the bag running outside of them. A simple 1-on-1 drill with hand fighting to get off a block as well, great opportunity to teach hand placement and leverage. And we also try to spill traps so we have "guards" with hand shields trap, the DL sees an initial down block, then and we attack inside shoulder of the trapper to spill the ball. We haven't included OLBs yet, but we could work gap responsibilities, pressing the LOS and shedding blocks from the OLB spot as well.
Our kids really like the follow a down, don't get hooked drill, we do it every day and show off the film when it shows up in games, helps get buy-in as well. Hope something here makes sense and helps.
