hi guys
Andy Ryland with us say football here
today we're in the film room watching
some more of our Miami Dolphins film
from our recent trip down to OTAs here
we're looking at a defensive line drill
this drill is specifically for the nose
guards and the three techs and they're
looking at defeat in the double-team as
you can see in the drill setup our
defensive lineman takes this normal
stance right over top of the sled they
use a double set to make sure there's
enough resistance but for our youth
players you could probably use a single
sled you'll also see that a double team
is represented by the second defensive
player holding a shield and giving this
teammate a good look let's go ahead and
run the clip look at the drill and see
some of the things that they're doing so
on the snap of the ball you'll see the
defensive lineman fire out hit the sled
and then feel the double-team block come
when the double-team block comes you'll
see the defensive lineman flip his hips
towards the double-team blocker and then
drop his inside knee and his shoulder
what he's really doing is he's putting
his hip towards the blocker as you can
see in this clip
yet he's throwing his inside and down
and spiking it into the ground while
turning his shoulder given a small
target area for that double-team block
and allowing him to hold his ground
right on the line of scrimmage
he stays real strong reduce his shoulder
and watch him drive that knee into the
ground what he's trying to do is make a
pile and make sure he doesn't get driven
back so he engages the blocker right on
him feels a double-team swing the hips
drive that knee and shoulder into the
ground explode turn get low
small services now here as we go to the
other side they're gonna take this drill
to the next step when the double-team
blocker leaves he's gonna release so
again we'll see hit turn he drops his
shoulder creates a small space and tries
to hold the line of scrimmage but when
our double-team blocker releases to go
get the linebacker our defensive lineman
pops back up splits that gap and attacks
into the line of scrimmage hold the
double-team seal the blocker leave get
up power through let's look at a couple
reps the whole way through now to see
how quickly they feeling react down back
up an attack great shuffle there by a
defensive lineman working this technique
engage turn down back up play the ball
now as you'll watch on this drill make
sure your defensive lineman is fully
engaging the sled right in front of him
that's a great example right there as
you see when 49 goes he's can hit and
engage the sled he drives his sled all
the way into its base making sure to
compress those Springs that way he's not
cheating the drill and playing for the
double-team he compresses the man on him
and then waits to feel the double-team
as his elbow team block comes he's gonna
shift his weight
give him his hip drop into the ground
small surface knee to the ground so he
doesn't give up space now watch as the
blocker leaves to attack the stricken by
the linebacker our Deventer lime is
gonna pop back up split the gap between
the two blockers and attack the ball
engage drop feel them leave split and go
again coach we appreciate you joining us
today thanks for learning from the Miami
Dolphins on how to defeat a double team
as always good luck this year and we
hope to see some of these drills on your
practice field
