Tight Power “TOSS” Drill
Purpose: To develop a good toss technique in the power play by the quarterback and wingback at the same time developing good blocking techniques in all the backs involved.
Equipment: 7 cones, 1 to 2 balls, 4 shields with players.
How: Using a proper
Power Right “TOSS” technique, seal block technique, kickout techinque we practice the Rip power right play with defenders. There is a kickout defender for the B-back, a inside seal defender for
the wingback, a outside seal defender for the quarterback, and a defender for the running back to Stiff arm, Spin, or Drive. 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.
QB
Quick, short motion- call for the ball quickly. Spin and toss the ball as you “fall backwards” in the direction of the playside end. Step first with the left foot and pivot in your right foot, so that the left foot lands about 3 o’clock. Spin & toss a soft ball at number height – but no higher.
Get your eyes around to playside and make sure B-Back is KICKING OUT his man.
If he is, run inside his block and seal CB to outside.
If he LOGS or is jammed inside you take next man outside.
B-Back
KICK-OUT first defender to show. This usually the EMLOS (DE).
KICKOUT = Aim at the defenders inside shoulder and blow him up and out of the hole with the wishbone block.
If the defender sits in the hole and tries to wrong shoulder you than LOG him inside.
LOG = attack the outside shoulder and try to seal him towards the inside by hitting the outside shoulder and rotating your hips inside.
A-Back
Fast motion towards the BB’s heels. Never take your eyes off the ball until you have caught it. Catch it and get in the wake of the pulling backside lineman.
Run inside the block of the B-Back and if necessary push on the backs of the lineman; Once through the hole, be prepared to cut back if it is there.
If the B-Back LOGS or turns upfield, than bounce outside.
C-Back
Your action depends on what the inside gap looks like between you and the tightend.
If the gap is filled you block down. GD just like the TE.
If the gap is clean then Seal block the playside line backer. Moving out and clearing the line and then immediately back inside to seal the PSLB to the inside of the tighend.
Any formation with out a TE you GD automatically.
Adjustment - have the TE included with a shield player to practice the GD block.
