Football Offensive Line Training | How to Block a Bigger Opponent | Part 4

[@ganimecore7041]

It's hard to find a good video on linemen. Or any kind of football technique

[@kineticbands]

Thank you. We will see this next season. Several of them are coming back and are working this summer to improve.

[@kineticbands]

Thank you for the compliment. I played D 2 for a short time and had to stop due to a severe concussion. My experience has been from many years of coaching and being the guy willing to take a weak or inexperienced team and trying to develop a system around the personnel. My last two years we have competed in Varsity football 11 man with 15-18 guys. it forces you to adapt to the athletes and the abilities.

[@eternalphoenix64]

I see people asking about their size/weight in regards to whether it is good or bad for a lineman or other position. Size/weight is worthless. It's all about technique and speed. To a certain degree, strength too. But mostly technique and speed For example: When I was O/D line (I played all line positions at some point), I was 5'8", 160lbs, and had a 6 pack (technically kinda small for a lineman, but I LOVED hitting people). I could barely bench 100, and my squat was somewhere around 200 (pretty weak for a lineman). I could push around guys twice my size because I listened to my coach, kept low, and fired off the ball. On D line I was a freaking monster. Every game I was making tackles in the backfield (sometimes they were sacks). The opponent would usually double or even triple team me in order to stop me, which is just as valuable because you leave other people unblocked and able to make other plays. Anyone out there that's a coach - be aware of the impact you have on your players. After the coach mentioned above, my family moved, and my new coach was such a jerk that I gave up playing entirely.

[@HKees01]

When I got to 100 on bench I stopped reading..

[@PREDATORxProductionz]

eternalphoenix64 lol your lying unless you were very young because no matter how quick and fast you thought you were I will pancake you in a second if your that weak. You HAVE to be strong as a lineman

[@phxntomx1776]

Smh you such a liar

[@sergiov9548]

eternalphoenix64 this is true we have a starting guard kinda like u and he babies huge guys

[@jaydenkesan871]

eternalphoenix64 I’m 15 and 5’8 154 lbs as an outside linebacker I can squat 240 max and my max bench is only 135 and like regular Tackling is difficult for me I can only slam the running back or tight end (depends on the play) if I can pick them up off the floor any help ?

[@Parker_Garage]

I'm 8'11 and 569 pounds. in the 7th grade and I'm only 12... how much should I squat ? without hurting myself

[@KareBearxx]

as much as you could comfortably

[@hellpod4721]

I'd say around... roughly 5 pounds

[@littlemac2076]

I'm 12.9 feet 800 pounds, is that good?

im in 9th grade and im 200 lbs 5'8 defensive tackle,i started out as a right/left guard but i just was not the best at it so they switched me to d-tackle where im much better,unfortunately our season had to end cuz on the other teams there where not enough kids,i can still play guard if needed but i will definitely keep this in mind next time i do need to play o line

[@kineticbands]

Thank you. Mr. Siglar donated his time to teach these young players that had never played football before. The were all first year players that just formed a team at a small private school. Mr. Siglar did not ask for anything except for them to work hard and participate.

[@willsmith6560]

Dude is huge his back Jesus

[@Tao_Peace]

All good comments here. Guys, as an old timer who had to truly play the Power I, Wishbone and QB option, the truth is, it all about the legs!! You build the crap out of your legs and make those things like iron, you'll block, hit and push anything around. Keep building your legs boys!

[@cheezeballer267]

agreed, strong hamstrings will get you and the person you’re blocking anywhere lmao

[@kineticbands]

Thank you! That would be very disappointing to witness and we are sorry to hear that. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or if there is anything you would like to see video coverage of.

[@kineticbands]

Thank you. Our guys work hard and go out every game and give it everything they have. we teach them to get low and be quick. We also teach them to work for position by being quick and just getting between the defender and the ball carrier. the smaller guys are not going to push big guys around and we compensate by running from a pistol or short shot gun with a lot of motion, shifting and misdirection. If our guys know where the ball is going they can seal and be very effective.

Same rules apply, if they have longer arms, still get as low as possible to the point where youre at their legs. If that doesnt work, chop block em, meaning blow out their legs, just drop on em.

We're always happy to help! First off, what position will you be playing and what are some things you would like to work to improve? We have a variety of football training videos on our channel and sell some really great training tools that will help your performance for any position.

[@blake9264]

Hello, first off I want to say thank you for the information which has brought me more self confidence. So I am in 9th grade this is my first season ever, i play as an offensive lineman, my hieght is 5ft 7.5in and my weight is 140 pounds. I do have a well built body and I'm pretty fast and explosive but my technique needs to be better. I know that you showed us some very good info I just wanted to have a 1 on 1 talk about my own capabilities Any information you could give me for my own stats would be really appreciated. Could we also talk about training utincels at home so I can work on getting better. Again the video was great!😁

[@eternalphoenix64]

There is a type of block that may or may not be legal anymore. Basically.... just drop on your knees sideways (don't lunge out at him or anything because that's DEFINITELY an illegal chop block. He'll fall over you and be a little more hesitant in the future. Just don't do it if they're running to one of your holes. Another thing to remember is short, choppy steps.

[@MrAndrewcoolguy1]

In my high school league it is still allowed and is a great method to stop a bigger player and make him more hesitant as you said.

[@iz5011]

+eternalphoenix64 thanks

[@bam8103]

Just next time strike him the chest try to come off the ball faster than him narrow your stance and strike him in the chest he will definitely be slowed but after that just drive your feet and get under neath his pads because football is a leverage sport so lower man always wins no matter what size just next stop your feet and youll be good

Gain some weight. idk how old u are but sooner or later it won't cut it as an o line. if u keep that weight, if and only if u are strong u may get transfered to d line. in high school and college pass plays become a big deal, so o line needs to get good at pass blocking which requires size because u dont have a whole lot of time and space to develop a good drive (without ripping a penalty that is)
