Bag and Pull Drill

Purpose – To develop a good trap technique by improving stance, footwork and take off while working on delivering a aggressive block into a blocking dummy.

Equipment – 5 blocking dummies, 5 cones, and 5 bag holders (players)

How –  A proper pull block like all blocks starts with the proper footwork and technique.  He starts in a three-point DW stance and on “GO” he takes a drop step and does his best to keep his shoulders squares to the LOS until he pulls around the cone which is 2 yards away and come around and meet the bag.  He must attack the bag and wishbone block it. wishbone block.  A good block is indicated by the bag popping up and back at the same time.  Let the blockers drive the bag 3 yards back.  The holder should provide moderate resistance and be pointed at the point where the blocker will meet the bag. Try for 3 reps to each side.

Drop Step – a short slightly backward step with toes at 45 degrees.
