Split Counter Drill

Purpose: To develop good techniques and timing in the counter play.

Equipment: 7 cones, 1 to 2 balls, 4 shields with players.

How: Four players with shield are used to simulate contact with the backs. On “HIT” the QB makes a counter handoff to the C-back. The C-back breaks past the LOS at the outside of the LOT cone. Has he does one defender player will attack his inside shoulder he must stiff arm the shield. The next defender will attempt to knock him off his feet he must deliver a drive by dropping his shoulder and driving the defender back 4 to 5 yards. The B-back executes a kickout block on the backside EMLOS (DE). The A-back executes a fake power right and drives the first defender that comes to him. We want the backs to be physical. . Work for 4 reps to each side . On “HIT” from the QB the play starts. (GO – READY – HIT). Coach calls “DOWN” as if the center.
