Champion Offensive Lineman - DominantFootball.com

Becoming a Champion Offensive Lineman with Ed Thomas, Aplington-Parkersburg HS (IA) Head Coach,'93 & '01 State Champions, Four Thomas-coached players (Casey Wiegmann, Jared DeVries, Aaron Kampman and Brad Meester) are NFL Lineman Recipient of the NFL's 2006 High School Coach-of-the-Year Award
In his illustrious 31-year career, Coach Thomas has captured two state championships and has propelled four of his players into the NFL as lineman. The drills and techniques presented on this DVD will help athletes develop into dominant offensive lineman. The key to successful offensive line play starts with the stance. Thomas teaches toe to instep stagger with hands on knees and an arched back. A player's vision should be 5 yards downfield with his eyes up. Next is the forearm lift where players block from the tip of the elbow to the ear hole. Thomas believes the most important thing in line play is getting off the ball and getting the first proper step. He demonstrates the 6-Point Explosion Drill to help develop that first step. Other drills focus on taking on linebackers, a proper base, selling out and more. Trap block progression is something taught uniquely by Coach Thomas. The first step is to the back tip of the football with the aiming point at the thigh of the defender. Visit us at www.dominantfootball.com

im pretty sure u dont block like that but if u guys are # 1 then idk

[dominantfootball]

Helloyou are right, people dont block like thatit is simply a slice of a drill. You also dont block with your hands behind your back on a pass set but it is a good tool to work on body positioning and footwork. Just a drillbut you have a similar commentI think we may pull the video and/or show a different clip because you arent alonethanks for visiting.

@TheBayAREAmagic u want to get used to blocking lower in practice cuz in games u usually tend to stand up a little more so if u have your self to be lower in practice, that way u dont stand all the way up and get ur ass kicked. and in some cases that is how to block. always have to be lower then the defensive guy.
