O-Line Back Block Drill - Lead Step and Closing Space: When the defender is off the blocker, a lead step with the near foot is used to close the space between them. - Eliminating Penetration with Head and Hand Placement: To prevent the defender from penetrating, the blocker should drive their helmet "screws" into the defender's near breastplate or the V of the neck and place their near hand on the defender's far breastplate. - Independent Hand Placement: Mastering a back block requires "independent hands," where the hands are placed at different levels rather than moving together. - Preventing the Cross-Face: To stop the defender from crossing the blocker's face, the blocker must place their backside (far) hand on the defender's hip. - Backside Leg Positioning: The backside leg should be kept high to further assist in eliminating the defender's ability to cross-face. - Avoiding Poor Technique: Inefficient technique involves avoiding contact, leaning with the head instead of using hands properly, or crossing over the feet, which compromises the block's effectiveness.

3 Golds, 3 Silvers, 2 Bronze, 2 4th place lifters and a 5th place = 1st place finish at the Region Championship. Congrats to all of the lifters who competed. Let’s see what the 6 qualifiers can do at State. @coachesalas @BMar1842 @pieperhsempire @cisdnews

Here’s to another spring practice session and another opportunity to utilize THE best teaching tool in the history of football. #DoYouEvenCrowtherBro (FSU photo cred to @BSonnone)

This is officially my first award as a head coach. There are definitely great coaches in THSPA Region 1. I believe my athletes, their parents, our teachers and administrators, and my own family deserve this award just as much as I do. It is a team effort.

@Coachhill_24 Coach if you’re still sharing this I would love a copy of it! matthew.booth@comalisd.org

I post a picture of the route glossary I was building for our players/coaches and it got a ton of engagement! So here is thread of a few more routes! If you are interested in the glossary just send me your email! Here is a few routes broken down! 🧵🧵

Say it with me now. A coach holding you to a standard is not being mean.

Blessed to be ranked top 30 in the 2028 class at my position! Work isn’t done yet. @Coachbrycemac @CoachBoothMatt @coachesalas

OL coaches: Hold them to a standard that they cover downfield. “Show up in the credits” at the end of the play in the endzone copy. It matters #5asONE @5asONE #OLSkillDevelopment #ElevateYourGame #trenches #fyp

Time and place to use all 3. Time and place to block real people. Depends on the level you are coaching, where you're at in the season, development of your group. Don't take a stance. Use what you need to get the best out of your OL.

If you want the Rock, you have to Block. And that not only goes for WR, but for RB’s in Pass Pro!

I can't call plays off a sheet. I'm too busy watching the overhang. Tracking the safety. Finding the extra hat. By the time I look down, the moment's gone. So we must be simple enough to know the answer immediately.

Grateful to have been selected as the Defensive Player of the Year! Ready for a the upcoming AAU season! Let’s go!! @playerfirstgbb @piepergrlshoops

To THE Prosper Eagles, Thank you! 9 years go by fast when you love what you do & love the people you coach. Where ever my coaching career goes, my time as a Prosper Eagle was some of the most rewarding years I have been blessed to be called Coach. Coach T SteamrollersForever

OL coaches: Teach your guys how to hold a shield. It matters! #5asONE @5asONE #OLSkillDevelopment #ElevateYourGame #trenches #fyp

‼️

Every OL coach should be doing this in my opinion. The more exposure to this the better off your student athletes will be. Hip mobility is one of if not the most important aspects of being an offensive lineman.
