    A1. Run step progression (boards) . Pass pro progression (on line sets). A drill that we added this year which was good for us is “knee drive” we start w/the knee down of the foot we want to step with and drive off the other foot to help concentrate on no false steps #hogfbchat

    A4: with only 4 coaches on our staff, we just keep juggling as much conversation & input as we can. OL coach gets feedback from kids, though we always seem to get a 13 man box... #Hogfbchat
  • BlockersO_Line Feb 12 @ 9:50 PM EST
    #Hogfbchat A#4 oline coach and RB coach watch front 7 WR and QB coach watch DB’s 1 asst charts the play and the front with coverage to review while D is on the field
  • coachmolzen Feb 12 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A3) Sorry late to the party. We do typical 1-1 & group comp. We timed pulls- we want all our pulls to be fast & hoop comp. drills w/ DL. Want to do more this yr w/ winners & losers. During work (bye) week we will do a few fun obstacle courses- coaches too. #hogfbchat
  • Pogue_Mike Feb 12 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A4: I watch the F7. We’re pretty lucky. Our shop department made us a TV cart on wheels that’s waterproof, so when the kids come off we can hook up our Hudl sideline to the TV and make adjustments, see shades, coverages etc. #Hogfbchat
  • NateRouse Feb 12 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A4: I honestly think we need to get better at this as a staff, we are usually prepared well going into a game but need to work on delegating responsibilities in game better and communicating better overall #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachShiffman
  • fritts57 Feb 12 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A4 cont: after every series, OL comes to me and we talk our language on sideline about what we are seeing and adjustments if necessary. Looking into sideline replay this year, so that will help. #hogfbchat
  • CoachDFrank Feb 12 @ 9:50 PM EST

  • CoachEch_ Feb 12 @ 9:50 PM EST

  • Tpeck2 Feb 12 @ 9:51 PM EST
    Well, I waa the only guy in the box on my last staff. So, I called out coverages and personnel every time. Would watch DL when it got away down the field from the other coaches on the sidelines. #hogfbchat
  • CoachTeasley Feb 12 @ 9:51 PM EST
    Q4) try to split up and not give one too much so they can be efficient. One in box watching back end and one watching box. Those two should be able to come together to get front|pressure|coverage along with tackler. On field I’m watching the line and point of attack #hogfbchat

  • CoachShemby Feb 12 @ 9:51 PM EST
    I am lucky to have two volunteers who have played for me in the past that help on Friday nights. I give one of them right side, one of left side. And I watch point of attack from behind. If they have a concern they bring it to me and then I take it to the Head Coach. #Hogfbchat

  • coach_giles54 Feb 12 @ 9:52 PM EST
    Q4: 1 of the biggest things is getting input from the OL. I may see something but they are the guys that know for sure what is happening in terms of alignment stunts games etc. I believe that if you coach them up we’ll enough thru the year they are my eyes on the field #hogfbchat
  • coachnaron Feb 12 @ 9:52 PM EST
    A3: once a week during kick off coverage the OL would compete in “fatman challenges” wagering breakfast burritos for things like jugs catches, blaster runs, Punt pass kick, deep snapping comps etc. gave them the chance to do all the fun things the skill kids do #Hogfbchat

  • CoachKubes Feb 12 @ 9:52 PM EST
    A4: RB coach and I watch DL and interior LB. WR/QB coach watch perimeter & secondary. We gameplan Sunday night & determine who to attack by personnel & also formation. If they show us something different, we can vary to pace real easily to get them back into base D #HOGFBCHAT

  • coachgoodknight Feb 12 @ 9:52 PM EST
    A4: we have a guy in the box that tells us what he is seeing, and we make adjustments tbased off of that, issue is we play Ironman football so it's hard to do unless in a timeout or at halftime #HOGFBCHAT
  • Coach_MarkBrown Feb 12 @ 9:53 PM EST
    A4: We has our Co-OL coach and QB coach up in the box this past year giving me and our WR, and RB coach information. Next year I might be in the box communicating down to the field to everyone. Whatever it takes to make us successful. #TheTeamTheTeamTheTeam #Hogfbchat
  • CoachColeJr Feb 12 @ 9:53 PM EST
    A4: Our JV OC is in the booth giving me d&d, and coverages, JV OL coach is also upstairs giving fronts, stunts, etc. So we'll have 4 guys on the same channel. Lots of info flying around. HC is usually right next to me or listening with his talk on mute. #HOGFBCHAT

  • CoachSethHarris Feb 12 @ 9:53 PM EST
    A4: I’m behind the defense on the field, HC (who was O-Line coach) is behind us. Have freshman OL in box to look for specifics. Lucky my players are really good at relaying information after a series. We work on the way we should talk on the bench. #HogFBChat
    In reply to @CoachShiffman
  • GrizzlyBeard78 Feb 12 @ 9:53 PM EST
    Having a guy up in that box that’s on the same page and knows what to look for helps a lot. Or if you have two guys on the field watch from opposite ends #hogfbchat
  • TheCoachDance Feb 12 @ 9:53 PM EST
    We use skycoach and after each series it's my job to get with the OL and fix mistakes or adjust. If I see something we didn't during the play I relay it to HC who trust what I say and goes from there. He's good about listening so that's a plus #HOGFBCHAT
  • chrisvIQtory Feb 12 @ 9:53 PM EST

    A4: My focus in on the box and the POA for the playcall. The guy in the box & i have an ongoing dialog about fronts/games, etc. If we feel the need, we tell our HC/OC our thoughts...Having an ipad on the sideline with an endzone shot clears everything up! #hogfbchat

    A1 Combo drills. RT/RG, C/LG, LT/TE all work together. Right/Left Zone, Reach, Base/Combo vs different looks. Allows rapid reps and isolates a couple of OL working together to fix problems quickly. #hogfbchat

    A4: We also have echo and when it’s working it’s great to talk through what we’re seeing with each other and our HC. We are in constant communication with our RB coach who coaches the OL and TE’s/H’s from the sideline. #Hogfbchat

    I love "place your bets" competitions, esp. when the competitions are even. Great team builders, great for raising intensity & energy. #hogfbchat

    A3 King of the tracks, board drills, gauntlet, live pass pro vs DL. We have had OL vs DL catching punts to have a little fun. #hogfbchat

    A2: Don’t have a lot of fancy equipment so we end up just using hand shields or the sled just working on shooting our hands up and shooting our hips. Emphasize that those half to be in sync. Prefer going up against the DL when we can. #hogfbchat

    A1: boards under the chutes gives us steps and level. Go to the sled and hit timing steps and hands. Put it all together with a drive and finish on the sled. Every day has variations of this. Footwork and hands are a must! #HogFBChat

    A2: We use hand shields and sled pads. I like using bodies for teaching hands at first. That way my guys get a real feel of where they shoot hands. Different varieties of the same strike drills. #HogFBChat

    For sure. I teach my guys of all sizes to “block with surface” when trapping. As long as they have profile of the defender, they use surface. #hogfbchat

    A3: competition Tuesday! Hoop Sumo Wrestling with the DL is a favorite with my guys. Lock on and try to win the Hoop. 1 on 1 boards. Linemen do pat n go. Skill does OL warm up. #HogFBChat

    A4 a huge area of opportunity for our staff. I’ll take some recommendations...... #HOGFBCHAT
  • coachjackson62 Feb 12 @ 10:28 PM EST
    A4: I really like @CoachHand here. I too stand back and watch POA. Our guy up top will watch far side OL/ TE. I get box count and watch for tendencies. My main goal is to find solutions and fix us first! #HogFBChat

    Convincing the players that the team on the other side of the line suits up the same way that they do. How do you do it? #hogfbchat
