Oklahoma Drill

A football tackling practice drill.

Objective - Teach defenders to shed the block and make the tackle during this physical football tackling drill.

Action - Separate team up into 3 different groups:

1) Centers & guards vs. linebackers & nose guards.

2) Tackles & tight ends vs. defensive tackles & defensive ends.

3) Wide receivers vs. defensive backs

Each group has 2 dummy bags positioned about 3-5 yards apart. Each group also has a quarterback and a running back. On the coach's signal, the quarterback hands off to the back, who tries to make it through the space created by the bags. The defender attempts to shed the offensive players block to "kill" the running back.

Coaching Details - Make this a very competitive football tackling drill. Pit the offense vs. the defense and challenge each side to do better. Keep score for bragging rights. Many teams begin camp with this drill to set a physical tone right from the start.
