Offensive Line Base Check: Push & Pull Drill
Maintaining a solid base is key for any player on the offensive line. The Push & Pull drill will help train your lineman to keep a steady base and improve protection.
- Have offensive blocker get into a good pass pro set.
- Have a partner push from different sides, trying to make the blocker lose his wide base set.
- Partner can either try push or pull.
- Make blocker maintain his base by sliding to recover, never crossing your feet -- never lose shoulder width base.
- Blocker should first start out with arms behind him and then work base with arms fully extended.
