Having watch this drill in person this is part of the progression. Like Venice said they are working hat and hand placement. The second part of the drill you would have seen them running faster and ripping their backside arm through to finish. Remember the media only gets a certain amount of time to film. He didn't get to film the whole individual period.

what?

this drill as about steps and body position... as an olineman hand placement is always the same (inside the pads)
its all about body position, fighting to get your helmet across etc

I think homebody was meaning backside cutoff, getting across the defenders face


but your right though

you dont need to rip ur arm thru to get ur head across, you can still get hand placement and have head across. if u rip arm thru and dont control him no cutback will be available. u can feel it if ur locked in and he sees cutback u can fight it. rip arm thru and dont lock up and he has contain/cutback

I hear ya. The ripping your arm through thing is something that Kehoe teaches, he was preaching the same thing when we went to Down and Dirty camp and he was coaching there

I remember that camp lol.

I mean I have used it against faster guys , but u give up a lil when using it. it puts you in good position if play goes as planned lol but with zone u know how that goes.

each coach has their own specific styles and tech.

Some of you who think that is real speed practice might be the some of the dumbest people on earth. How can you watch that and think they are gonna let a rag paper video real practice speed?

This. They do it all speeds during the course of a practice. The key is repetition of the correct technique and positive reinforcement/coaching. It's hilarious that some on here expect every drill to be two guys running full speed at each other cracking skulls...obviously very few on here ever played football at any level.

In the video they are zoning to an outside technique. It's a progression Of the zone scheme. Sorry I didn't really make myself clear in my first post. They are going playside zone in the video and then work backside in the next progression with the reach and rip. hand placement is not the same all the time for offensive linemen in this scheme. Watch Bunche lock out his backside arm when the defender is across his face, that is him about to run his guy passed the designed running lane or "torquing him out". The ripping the backside arm is used by the backside offensive lineman on scoop blocks. You rip the backside arm to overemphasize getting your head across wide techniques. (guards to defensive ends or centers to 3 techniques)

i was taught differently

I'm not saying you are Wrong, I'm saying I've seen Kehoe teach it and actually talked to him about it. Offensive line play is foreign to most fans as its difficult to explain to someone who hasn't played it. I posted to drop some insight for those who don't know the details of what they're watching.

Sorry if this is well known but where did you play OL and when? Appreciate the analysis, great stuff.

I'm not basing my criticism of Art on this video, but overall the guy just isn't what we need at this point imo. If you could see Trickett at work (and I have personally watched two FSU closed practices), it's night and day. And Trickett is about 10 years Art's senior, I believe.

Trickett is trash! Give me a break! Kehoe had a better O-line in his first year last year than Trickett had at FSU in his 5th year. Jimbo signed his death sentence when Trickett wasn't replaced after last season.
 
Trickett's guys gave up over 40 sacks with a mobile qb while Kehoe's guys gave up 19 with JaGaGa back there.
