Linebacker Block Protection Technique and Drills examines the proper methods and steps that linebackers can employ to play off a block delivered by an offensive lineman on a running play. Featuring a veteran coach with over 40 years of combined college and NFL experience, the video breaks down and discusses the elements and techniques necessary for a linebacker to neutralize the charge of the lineman, get off a block, and get to the ballcarrier. The correct body positioning and actions required of the linebacker are presented in detail, using both a presentation-style lecture and work on the chalkboard. The video also presents an on-the-field explanation and demonstration of a series of drills that can be used by the coach to develop and enhance the block-protection skills and techniques of their linebackers.
