O-Line Covered Step Drill - This offensive line drill utilizes the lines on a turf field or painted boxes to simulate old-school board drills. - To maximize individual time, coaches can line up multiple players along every five-yard line to get a high volume of repetitions in a short period. - The first movement, or the power step, is a short step used to transfer weight from the backside big toe to the lead leg to create power. - On the coach's second command, players execute the drive step, which provides the actual movement and force of the block. - Players must ensure their second step lands in front of their first step, driving that foot up the crotch of the defender and upfield. - While players in the drill may fall forward without resistance, in a game scenario, this momentum is used to strike the defender in a proper fit.
