Foot Fire Technique Drills : Center Back Block and PST VS 2 Look
Near Foot Technique and finally Down Blocks Drills
Coach Best always starts his drills with the lineman’s feet on fire-never from a static position.
For the near foot technique, near foot in the ground and near shoulder making contact on a combination block, then come off and look for the linebacker.
The way they teach down blocks is for the lineman to put his helmet in the V of the defender’s neck and drive.
