You know, being an old lineman myself, offensive lineman, this is kind of, this is at my heart, man. Right? Knowing how to be a great offensive lineman. And you know tackles, guards, and centers. And they're really different. They're different positions.
But the key is, to me, to play offensive line, it really, first, is flexibility. Can you bend your knees. Right? And know the difference between a knee bender and a waist bender, guys? A knee bender can play the game. They're flexible. Have great feet. Work on your feet. Work on the ability to kick, step, to slide. Right? To be able to move your feet to stay in front of the defensive player between, you got to stay between him and the quarterback. Right? Have great feet.
Then you have to be tough. I want toughness in my lineman. I want a lineman who are going to go down and bite, and kick, and scratch to make the block, to break the run. To get that running back free. To save the quarterback from being sacked. You know? That offensive tackle better be a big, athletic guy. Have the ability to take those edge rushers one on one. Have great arm length, great strength in their arms, and great feet knee bend. Those guards got to be able to pull. Can you get your hips open, and your knee and ankle open, and pull and track.And the center better be an athlete. Smart athletes.
The offensive line is all about feet, flexibility, using your hands, strength, quickness, toughness, meanness, nastiness. It's the most important position on a field, and you better be, have all those characteristics to be a great ol'e lineman.

For people that say 'wow there are no views howcast sucks' This channel isnt like other channels where subs are subbing to watch new posts. Its like a catalog, and someone who wants to learn a specific thing will go to a specific playlist. So its not really that amazing that so little views are on each video, jeez..

[@thedkboyz]

Just became our country's best team! We're going for nationals this year. As an o-line, number 1 rule that my coach taught me is, if you get the right hand placement, you've already won. Wether the d-line shoves your hands away doesn't matter. You've given your quaterback/runningback 5 seconds, that's all they need. If they can't get out of the box in that time and the guy you're blocking gets past you after at least 5 seconds, you're not to blame. Oh and if you're unsure wether you can block the bloke or not, cut-block him. Works everytime and gives the quaterback a couple of seconds!

[@lorenzoesparza2990]

Xelos never cut block bro I got my season ended because of a cut block

[@lorenzoesparza2990]

Just hold on for dear life if the guy is too powerful

[@dogemaster5622]

What if your a lineman and your kinda smaller then the rest of the line

[@randymancan8186]

Put more power into your blocks. Use ALL of your strength is what I can tell ya.

[@gacha_edits2202]

My 13 year old son, plays left tackle for middle school...he is awesome, he can out run the receivers and the qb. He's had as many as 3 blocking on him at one time and hasnt been taken down yet but he needs work on toughness, aggressive attitude, he is literally a gentle giant....but how do I do that? How can I help him? Any help would be appreciated. His stats are...age: 13 height: 6'4" weight: 288lbs.
