Written by Glazier Football | Feb 22, 2024 8:20:05 PM

Colorado State Offensive Line Coach Billy Best takes you through some of their Gap Scheme drills for their offensive linemen.  His entire presentation is available on Glazier Drive at O-Line Gap Scheme Individual Techniques for All Levels.  

In the video below, you will see practice film and game application footage of his:

Hip Activation Drills: Strain and Climber

Foot Fire Technique Drills : Center Back Block and PST VS 2 Look

Near Foot Technique and finally Down Blocks Drills

 

Coach Best always starts his drills with the lineman's feet on fire-never from a static position.

For the near foot technique, near foot in the ground and near shoulder making contact on a combination block, then come off and look for the linebacker.

The way they teach down blocks is for the lineman to put his helmet in the V of the defender's neck and drive.
