Offensive Line Face in the Numbers and Mirrors Drill

This offensive line drill teaches proper base and footwork.

  1. Have your offensive linemen place their face into the numbers of the defender.
  2. Make your linemen always look upwards through the numbers. This helps their hips.
  3. Have your linemen put their hands behind their back.
  4. Have the defender place his hands on top of the shoulders of the offensive lineman, helping to keep the offensive lineman’s face into his numbers.
  5. On command from the coach, your offensive linemen will mirror the movement of the defender always working to keep his face in the numbers.
  6. Work proper base and footwork and always keep the hands clasped behind the back.
