Offensive Line blocking technique is not natural. It’s not something that your players are just born with. You have to teach it.
That means they need to learn who to block, and how to block them. It’s a lot of learning and technical, tedious repetition. Takes a special dude to be a great Offensive Lineman.
And then, somewhere in all that scholarly coaching… you gotta get some kids who want to be a little nasty. Finish the block. Drive their guy to the ground.
This is where I see coaching completely fail. A lot.
Coaches decide to just berate their players into getting mean and being aggressive. And if the player doesn’t do it, it’s because he’s soft.
Not for me. Not good enough. We’ve got a problem, and we need to solve it.
