  Saw a thread on here talking about how the wide pads on a sled promote OL getting their hands too wide. Had these made up and are gonna try them in camp. We'll put some padding on 'em and see what happens. What do you think? |

 we have a sled like this with the same type of pads, but we just flipped the pads and put them upside down and now we have a smaller target for the hands. |

nice sled. we do not have a sled. no need to have a sled when you pass protect 99% of the time.

Looks like your Vo-Ag department is working overtime. Are we going to start seeing the UTCHUCD Sled at the coaching conventions and trade shows?

;D That's what my O-line coach said to me today!
Talked to one of my OL today after practice about it and he said 2 things about it:
1. If your hands are sweaty they slip off the sides so I'll have to work on that (I have some pipe insulation duct taped on it right now).
2. It makes you get your head up and look at what your doing or you'll miss it.
Sounds good to me so far.
We turned our big pads over originally like someone on here suggested, but we found that these are lower than the pads and force our guys to stay down low to push it.

Looks like a good idea for the defensive line to work on separation and leg drive too.
