Watching these videos makes me realize I was never really coached at all when I played. This the way always wanted to be coached. This is great thing you guys are doing. My boys are going to be taught right.
SAME!! Played O Line in HS and College in the 90's and NEVER heard any of this. Going to start coaching O Line soon and I'm so excited to teach them the right ways to play the game.
This helps me so much. First time head coach at the middle school level and I’m always looking for info to help get kids the best techniques. Thank you for this.
Love this explanation of owning the angle. In football a lot of times you're not going to be in a "perfect situation." You have to work with the angle your given.
I LUV IT♨️.....I LIKE THE 45 DEGREE ON REACH BLOCKS. FINALLY SOME CONCRETE EVIDENCE BACKING UP MY CLAIM ALONG WITH OUR FILM. I REALLY LIKE HOW YOU SHOW IT WITH THE DEFENDER MOVING INSTEAD OF STANDING STILL WHICH IS NOT REALISTIC. I DISLIKE LOSING GROUND TO GAIN GROUND.....OH THE ANGLES!!!👏🏽🔥♨️
OLP if you see this thanks for these videos, your instructions have made me the best OT I’ve ever been, I get 2 or 3 pancakes a series. I’m 6’6 354 lbs now and I’m confident I can play at a professional level. Thanks guys KEEP DROPPING THAT SWEET SCIENCE!
Also, can you do a video about covered inside zone steps? I have had many debates with coaches as they all have different ideas and I would be interested to hear what you guys have to say about it. Love the content.

Love the 'leave the hat outta the block' conversation - I was always taught that my helmet is also a weapon and that it must be utilized on the plays. However after ending my career now I have come to the conclusion that this is BS and an excuse for poor technique. You can also have very much impact and 'clean' blocks without using your helmet as a battering ram.
Only thing that changes is the angle and the step that sets you and your hips up the angle. Its easier beacuse the D Liner doesnt have outside leverage over you
I like the "pocket" verbiage. More appropriate for younger audience. I say, drive "knee to crotch" with the back leg to try and maintain that outside leverage. If you have a really wide 9 tech, does the angle become more than 45 degrees because your trying to get near hip to far hip?
Bob Bob The width of defender sets the angle. The wider the defender, the harder the angle. The tighter the defender, the more shallow the angle. But the path really should just be based on alignment, not locking player in to a singular track. Great question. Appreciate the feedback and comment. 🙌🏾
The 45 degree angle on the "reach" isnt a reach . It's a "fan" block . You will never "reach " a 5 or 7 on a 45degree tract . A reach doesn't NEED to be a gain ground situation as a "reach " would only secure a lateral run . Reach is flat and square , a 45 is a fan block , or possible an inside zone block . I cant for the life of me figure out how you'd be able , or talk about being able to reach a 7 , when the 7 would want to work lateral ahead of the play with a 45 angle . That 7 would stay outside of that reach with minimal effort . Show me live film using that 45 reach . I'll bet there's no way it's an actual 45 . More like 75 . Like the example given . I'm not trying to be a jerk , but , no way .
I agree with you. I tried to teach reach blocking this way this year and the result was we couldn't hardly get anyone reached. Gotta scrap this way of doing it.

Love the content! Could you do a video on the fundamentals of a combo reach Block?
Greetings from Germany
I always look forward to your vidoes because I learn so much from them. Keep them coming!
ibrahim fletcher Thank you for the feedback and APPRECIATE your support! Thank you

stephan roberts love it! Keep working towards that dream! Make it a reality. Best of luck to you!
A 45 degree angle is necessary for reaching on a RUN BLOCK... For a PASS-SET, the lateral-step is the best technique.
EXCELLENT TRAINING VIDEO. THANK YOU

Thanks for the great video. The focus on hip position should help the 7th graders I'm coaching. We've been struggling to reach D-ends in our games.
Good stuff. We really made good use of this technique
Could you explain a little bit more about which hip counts as the near hip? As in, nearer to the ball or nearer to your defender?
near and far is *always* related to the ball.
Awesome 👍
Great Video!!!!
GHA Sports Thank you!
When you do videos can you also includes sometimes close up on feet work because sometimes it's to fast.

could you guys do a video on Inside zone and Outside zone fundamentals???
theo eddy We’ve done that. Feel free to subscribe at www.lbolineperformance.com
If there was you tube when I played, I would have been so much better. Many coaches don't coach at all.

What if DL is lined up straight up?
