The world's first online community dedicated to the offensive line

A few of our linemen are having issues when pulling... They get off stances fine but when they begin to turn the corner I keep noticing a delay when getting up field like if they keep looking for someone to block. I was hoping some of you gentlemen would know some great ideas on helping them break that bad habit.

Thank You,

Rick

I have the same problem with one of my guards. He used to run straight past the hole and turn around and look around. I told him to stop thinking in terms of a particular defender and more in terms of where the ball is going. The I ran chute scrimmages and gave him different looks. Sometimes he had to pick up the end and sometimes it was a LB and sometimes nobody was there and he had to go downfield. He's still a little unsure but there's definitely been improvement.

Hey Marcos,

Thanks for the advice I'm going to try and explain it to them in that form one of the guards just so happens to be my son also so going to help him out the best way I can... Much appreciate it.
