Some youth football coaches fear that by withdrawing their men, they will leave huge gaps in their offensive line which can easily be filled by defenders and cause negative football play. On the face of it, that argument might have merit, but when you look at the details, it doesn’t if you use some very simple tactics, if your offensive line has splits like you see from Texas Tech on TV, 2-3 yards, the draw will open up gaps great in your line. However, in my offense, our linen workers are on foot. There are no splits with shoulder-width stances and the gap left by a pulling young soccer player is 1 yard or less.
Defenders don’t know how many strikes, so any offensive lineman has an advantage over the defense as far as getting a head start on hitting. We also have all of our offensive linemen, except for the quarterback, off the line of scrimmage. This allows them to pull in easier and allows our other offensive lineman to easily cut off a penetration by any defender by taking a simple short step to the inside, something we repeat every day in football training with our guys. Since our backs also know the number and the defenders don’t, our backs are usually long gone by the time the snapping defender gets into our backcourt. In fact, despite playing against every normal defense and block defense known to man in the past six seasons, our senior offense has only had one negative game.
Even if there is a defender on top of your carriers, this is a very simple blocking rule like GOD; The inside gap, on, down will put another offensive lineman on the defender covering your draw player. If the defense decides to cover everyone on your offensive line or switch to a GAM-type defense, don’t drag. There would be no defender to block if your drawr had reached the point of attack anyway with these defenses. If the defense hits the linebacker, he is often on or close enough to the line of scrimmage to be blocked by the base, legally cut, or blocked by a lobster. If a blitzer comes from far behind the line of scrimmage, he won’t be fast enough to make the play, unless he’s a Lawrence Taylor clone. We like it when our opponents play this type of defense, we don’t have to bother with a draw, we’ll still double-team at point of offense and block an unblocked defensive line with a block by one of our own. backs.
If you have a very slow, immobile lineman who has problems covering the gaps to pull the liner men, have them make a simple but effective crab block. See the posts on banning lobster for more details on this here in the tips section. The holes left by pulling upholsterers are not a problem in youth football if your team uses the above techniques.
