Long day of proctoring let my mind wander to, what do different coaches do during indie time based on position? I figured there are five different types of things we could do (but if you think of others please let me know); these drill types are:
Non-contact Movement Drills- Running Cones, Steps, Get-Offs, Stances, Agilities
Equipment Contact Movement Drills- Throwing, Catching, Ball Drills, Sleds, hitting Shields or Dummies
Read & React (live stimuli provided and player reacts accordingly)- Specifically Keys/Reads, and responses
Vs Opponent Competition (Maybe not always full speed, but often times yes)- One on Ones, double teams, game type action
Responsibility- Alignment, Assignment, walk thrus.
I understand there can be some crossover between these; but was wondering what position do you primarily work with, and roughly what pct. of your indie time is spent doing each of these?

With INDY, I work the techniques that correspond with all the fundamentals that go with that position. For example: WRs must master stance/takeoff, release, route running, catching, ball security, yards after catch, and blocking. Some aspect of these things must be worked daily. I have created a chart of several of my favorite drills in each of these categories and I go through and choose drills daily. The players think we are doing different drills when in reality, we are working the same key things daily.
Now, that being said, all of these things fit within one of the categories you shared above.

Monday-kind of a light day for us. Stance/steps/start for DL, 6 pt explosion, pole drill, 1 man sled.
Tuesday-stance/start, block defeat-reach, base, down
Wednesday-stance/start, double teams, pinch, pass rush, anything different.

maybe this is what good practice is about, because at the end all of this is needed in the game.
id say you naturally follow this order when teaching: you go from isolated fundamentals to live-simulation, where the fundamentals are combined. after some time you may not need to isolate the fundamentals, because the players do them right in the more advanced category of drills. but you always have to watch carefully and may go back a category to the more isolated fundamentals, because the players didnt do it as clean as you want them to.
if you placed the "responsibility"category up as the first one, id say this is the order a period should follow. take blocking for example:
1st i have to know who i will block.
2nd i have to know the fundamentals of how to do this block.
3rd i have to "feel" how a right block is delivered.
4th i have to know how to react to different looks i will see.
5th i have to "feel" it as close to live-situation as it gets.
i see that we can teach the fundamentals of blocking without knowing who we will block, but in the game we first have to know WHO we will block. thats why i put it up as the first category. i also think that when we tell the kids what their responsibility is, theyll better understand the WHY they have to go trough all of the other categories.

DBs
I would guess that 85-90% of the indy time it was the first 2. Any other times was the 3rd. We normally had group periods built into the schedule so that is when we would get to work on the others.
-WR/DB 1-1
-perimeter
-DB/LB passing concepts
-S/front inside period
-tackling circuit

Skills needed to execute their jobs in the defensive scheme...
LB's
Stance & Working Downhil
Taking on blocks
Shedding blocks
Form tackle
Scraping, Shuffling, keeping shoulders square
turn and run

All the stuff that they will have to do at beginning, in middle, or end of their responsibility in the defense.
