Linebacker Drills & Skills

Brian Vossen Lakeville North High School Panthers

Important Keys

1. Must Play downhill and read on the run.2. One step with the guard and are eyes are in the backfield.3. Pursue to the football under their color and over ours. Spill everything.4. Get immediate separation from any block and shed the block as

quickly as possible. (Allow the person behind you to make a quickdecision.

5. Relentless pursuit and be ball hungry.

Drill Sequence

1. Downhill read steps (3 lines)2. LB - G - RB (work on our one step)3. Ball drills breaking downhill4. Tackling - one hit each head on and from an angle.

Run Drills

Drill Sequence

1. Shed drill - start locked up in either defensive or offensive advantage.

Great way to compete.2. Machine Gun Drill - Guard to RB3. Half Bull - Hit and shed4. Two hits on each pad on sled.5. Half speed head on tackling.6. Bag drill - choose a gap.7. Open field - must make a move.

Pass Drills

Drill Sequence

1. Run first. Play action get caught just blitz.2. Get to your zone - your feet stop when QB feet stop - we beat the

receiver to the zone. We dont chase him there.3. Shuffle with shoulders.4. Hand comes off break downhill.5. Practice with blitzes, so they learn to adjust their zones.6. Can be done with cones to help with destination.7. Boot leg - hook to curl to flat gets QB (usually Sam or Will).8. Man - hug technique (only on RBs)

Bag Drills

Drill Sequence

1. Every foot.2. 2 in each.3. Shuffle with eye contact and catch the ball.4. Side to side through the bags. (scoop up a fumble)5. Pass/Run front and back through the bags.6. Downhill through the bags.

Every Balls a Live Ball

In every drill or station we work at, every ball is live until you hear a whistle.A dropped ball becomes a fumble and we scoop and score. In pass skelly wereturn all incomplete passes to the offense and if they catch it we go after it.We carry this philosophy to every drill whether it be pursuit drill, inside, team,scout, special teams, etc. It has made a huge difference in our turnovercount. We forced 20 fumbles and came up with 11 of them. We had 10picks.
