Initial Step Drill (Ball)

A defensive lineman football drill.

Objective - Teach your defensive line an explosive first step at the snap of the ball without going offsides.

Action - Align 2-3 defensive linemen on the line in their stances. The football is tied to a rope. The coach has the rope and barks out the offensive cadence, trying to get the linemen to jump. At the snap, have the defenders explode out of their stances 4-5 yards up the field, then have the next group get set for their turn.

Coaching Details - Make sure your defensive linemen have good fundamentals in their stances and when they take that initial step off the line. Break any offsides habits during this football defensive line drill.
