Our schedule for an offensive day goes like this: 25m Individual (all run techniques) 20m Inside Run 25m Perimiter (my oline uses this as our time to rep pass pro techniques) 20-35m of Team (depends) 15m of Specials (when we get into things I will take my lineman and do some more work with them, probably a lot of walkthrough reps for schemes).
I also get a 10m pre-practice period were I work on our basic footwork and stance and things of that nature.

airrradier, could your explain that a little more. I tried to type that into the the box where the URL is but it wouldn't let me type it. It wouldn't even let me clear it out to type. Just to be clear I tried to type it in the area right beside where the video plays, not the address bar up to.

Kyle, you can use vixy.net or get the youtube downloader (search it on google). Let me know if you need help with it. I have used it alot for class (there are a ton of awesome old WWII propaganda cartoons on there) with good success.

One thing that my guys (O-line) are struggling with is the concept of keeping their chest on their knees to help with low pad level. It is a phrase they hear a million times a day (one of my seniors was actually joking about it with me today) but some kids are still slow to pick it up. I've tried to fix this by slowing down just a hair and getting kids in that posistion and working them in that position during our drills as well as showing them video of what I want it to look like.
One thing that I have been pleased so far with is our work on our combo blocks. They are really getting the concept of being hip to hip and pushing the heck out of the down guy (we haven't even talked about getting to LB's yet), so the pad pinches that we have done nearly every one of our 10 days of camp (at least for 5m) has paid off so far.

Tonight at practice during our lineman's conditioning I have a few guys who wanted to start bickering with each other. I let it go a couple times, really because I wanted to see how the others handled it, hoping that it would be resovled internally.
Finally I had enough and put the whole unit on the line (we were pushing the sled for conditioning) and ended up running about 3 full gassers and 3 half gassers (in about 7 minutes), with me just ripping them up and down about this.
After a few of them I began to talk to them about how we are a family within a family, being an offensive line, and if we have bickering during conditioning it becomes a habit and pretty soon you start to play the blame game when things don't work out during the season (this was a major problem last season).
We talked a little bit more as a unit following practice about this because I want to nip this kind of thing in the bud before it starts to run rampent throughout our line. My assisant made a great comment about how a real leader is a guy who does things the right way and leads by example, not someone who has to yell and drop f-bombs. I retiterated that as far as I am concerned the matter is over and that I am still proud of how hard they worked the last week and how far ahead we are of where we were last year.
I think it set in because I had three of my freshman come up to me as they were leaving the lockerroom saying, "coach we understand what you mean."
With that rediculusly long winded story over, how do you guys handled it when players start bickering within your team during practice or a game? I understand that competitors will get chippy at time but I don't want to tear a unit apart either.

Coaches, go to the coaches choice website (coacheschoice.com). And there is a big link on the front page for the subscription. Pretty nice stuff.

Amen to that whitemike. I had one of my lineman tell me today that he wasnt going to open mats for wrestling because he wanted to concentrate on football in the summer and that he didn't want to get hurt. I about wigged out on him. I asked him if he was allowed to play tittlywinks or if that was too much of an injury risk for them. Kids don't understand that the more atheltic things that they do that the better athletes they will be and better athletes have smaller chance of getting hurt.

That is so much BS. I am our JV baseball coach and we lifted three days a week (both jv and varsity teams) throughout the season, including game days at 6:30am. Now, our head baseball coach is a big weight room guy. He has preached since day one that we are out athleted in every sport and the only way to fix that is in the weight room. I was worried about how our guys would feel about lifting the day of a game. But that worked out the first game when our starting pitcher squatted for 5x5 that morning then came out and threw a no hitter, striking out 14. At that point the I never heard another word about lifting the day of a game. Our senior first baseman actually thanked me for making him lift after he jacked an opposite field shot in one game.

Had my first oppourtunity to go to the Glaizer Clinics this year (in Toledo and Cinncinnati). I was really impressed with Joe Gilbert (new Illnois OL) and McNally was about all I expected and them some (being his practice dummy was pretty cool).

You can have duplicate numbers as long as neither number is on the field at the same time. For example, awhile back OSU had both Santonio Holmes (WR) and Will Allen (FS) wearing number four.
