I videoed or practice today due the first time in a long time. I wanted to be able to show it guards how the blocking scheme looks behind them when they're pulling to press home how important speed is.
Well, I watch the video and or {censored} guard pulls across... And high fives the DE instead of blocking him. It's clear they're doing it as a joke instead of practicing.
I don't know if I should be mad or laugh.

You should be mad. You should be mad at whichever coach is not watching this...you shouldn't need film to see that going on at practice. I'm not sure how many coaches you have on staff, who is watching what, and why no one would see this--particularly occurring at the point of attack. You should also be mad at players who don't take practice seriously. I don't have practice time to waste. We're going to be out there for a specified period of time, we're going to get done what we need to get done without wasting any of that precious time, and then we're going home. Players must know that these "shenanigans" won't be tolerated.
My expectation is that ALL coaches are actively engaged and that no coach allow the sort of thing you're describing to occur. As HC, I can't see it all--but I have enough staff members that someone should be watching everything. If a coach wants to get his butt chewed, let that sort of stuff go on in an area he's supposed to be watching and coaching. Now, if you've got a large group by yourself, then I can see not seeing everything going on, although I would think you'd see the block not being executed at the point of attack (yes, I know, sometimes you're watching to make sure you get proper seals or back blocks on the backside of a play). This is one reason I like to have a second o-line coach to provide that extra set of eyes. That's not possible in all situations.

100% this. Coaches should be picking that stuff up and that kid needs a visit from the grim reaper.

My problem I guess is when I call plays since I am the OL guy too I am watching the blocking protection and scheme more than I am the skill guys, but I have other coaches who watch that and know that. Having several guys into the different elements of the game is necessary when watching practice as is film. My HC taught me to watch the OL

As mentioned, depending on your situation, that stuff should be picked up before film.
You have two guys trying to be funny and if it’s a one time deal and legitimately a joke, especially if they knew your were filming, well I think it’s clever.
If they are just being slappies and this is a regular thing, then you have issues.
We are getting to that point in the year where energy and focus are starting to decline. We as coaches have to find a way, to avoid the drop off.
We had s similar situation Tuesday. Our scout team quarterback was having a particularly poor day. Our db coach asked him what was going on. He told the coach the dbs told him to just throw it to them so they look good. That’s not the way you would like to see a senior laden team respond to their first loss. Hc addressed it Wednesday so hopefully we got it straightened out.
Kids these days........probably kids all days.
