hi guys, looking to find some linemen boards to keep my linemens feet wide while drive blocking. Ive seen other teams with them and I believe they are foam or a similar material. Just wondering where i can purchase some or how i could make some???

I took a couple of the mats we had in our weightroom (they were 4x6x 1/2 I believe) and had our industrial tech teacher rip them on his band saw- now have very nice boards that will take all kinds of abuse and will hold up well to the elements (these mats were being replaced by cleaning platforms so it worked out perfectly for us).

i have used scrap 2x12s and had the wood shop guys bevel the edges. have also used the foams ones that you can buy from gillman. what ever you have access to is what works best.

Something that has been good for us is rubber. We got a big roll of it at a Home Depot and cut strips to the size we wanted. A couple of advantages to the rubber are: 1) If the players do step on it, there won't be any ankle injuries, 2) they are easily portable, and 3). We can bring them inside to work on things in the offseason.
