Football Offensive Line Training | How to Block a Bigger Opponent | Part 4 

It's hard to find a good video on linemen. Or any kind of football technique

I'm 8'11 and 569 pounds. in the 7th grade and I'm only 12... how much should I squat ? without hurting myself

Thank you. We will see this next season. Several of them are coming back and are working this summer to improve.

I see people asking about their size/weight in regards to whether it is good or bad for a lineman or other position. Size/weight is worthless. It's all about technique and speed. To a certain degree, strength too. But mostly technique and speed For example: When I was O/D line (I played all line positions at some point), I was 5'8", 160lbs, and had a 6 pack (technically kinda small for a lineman, but I LOVED hitting people). I could barely bench 100, and my squat was somewhere around 200 (pretty weak for a lineman). I could push around guys twice my size because I listened to my coach, kept low, and fired off the ball. On D line I was a freaking monster. Every game I was making tackles in the backfield (sometimes they were sacks). The opponent would usually double or even triple team me in order to stop me, which is just as valuable because you leave other people unblocked and able to make other plays. Anyone out there that's a coach - be aware of the impact you have on your players. After the coach mentioned above, my family moved, and my new coach was such a jerk that I gave up playing entirely.

Thank you for the compliment. I played D 2 for a short time and had to stop due to a severe concussion. My experience has been from many years of coaching and being the guy willing to take a weak or inexperienced team and trying to develop a system around the personnel. My last two years we have competed in Varsity football 11 man with 15-18 guys. it forces you to adapt to the athletes and the abilities.

im in 9th grade and im 200 lbs 5'8 defensive tackle,i started out as a right/left guard but i just was not the best at it so they switched me to d-tackle where im much better,unfortunately our season had to end cuz on the other teams there where not enough kids,i can still play guard if needed but i will definitely keep this in mind next time i do need to play o line

Thank you. Mr. Siglar donated his time to teach these young players that had never played football before. The were all first year players that just formed a team at a small private school. Mr. Siglar did not ask for anything except for them to work hard and participate.

incredible video on Technique Rick my son has been watching your videos religiously keep them coming. Your experience is priceless to kids who want to get better!!!!! thanks for sharing the knowledge

Thanks bro I’m about to try it out at my scrimmage today ik this vid is late but it is what it is

Great video. Thanks for posting this.

Man thanks a tone for this. Now I got something to practice and teach my son..☝️❤️

All good comments here. Guys, as an old timer who had to truly play the Power I, Wishbone and QB option, the truth is, it all about the legs!! You build the crap out of your legs and make those things like iron, you'll block, hit and push anything around. Keep building your legs boys!

Good video im a right gard n a junior playn fo juniors n seniors n hs helped me alot since im not that big

Thank you. Our guys work hard and go out every game and give it everything they have. we teach them to get low and be quick. We also teach them to work for position by being quick and just getting between the defender and the ball carrier. the smaller guys are not going to push big guys around and we compensate by running from a pistol or short shot gun with a lot of motion, shifting and misdirection. If our guys know where the ball is going they can seal and be very effective.

I remember that hi London football practice before I graduated about a year I wasn't for sure what he meant by keep on pushing until I saw this video just now

Best of luck with your game. Stay focused and use your good technique.

this was an awesome vid

Thanks man, I'm an 8th grader, Offensive Right Tackle and even though I'm 6,2 and bench a good 135, I go against bigger and stronger guys then me. This video really helped with my blocking.

Thank you! That would be very disappointing to witness and we are sorry to hear that. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or if there is anything you would like to see video coverage of.

same here man haha got an all star game in a month trying to perfect my technique

155 lb WR/DB. Right Tackle for Split Punt. Needed this

This guy %100 knows what he's talking about listen!

Thanks. good luck with your game and let us know how you did.

This helpful because I'm an 8 the grade right offensive tackle 130 bench 215 squat 120 power clean weigh 190 pounds.i have to go up against the 9 the grade defensive ends which squat 375 bench 225 and power clean 200 they weigh about 230. So I have to get a real good technique to hold them back.

wish they had those bands when i played

Thank you. I love coaching and I love the challenge .

Good luck! Let us know if there is anything we can help you with.

Do you have a video on how to deal with a person who has a longer reach?

As a LB and O Lineman, I go against guys who exceed 220 pounds in 8th grade. Being 165 i sometime get a heavy lockup with them and hopefully this video works.

thank you I need this I have to block over 300 pounds somtimes i am olny 210 pounds

This is my last piwe year and I’m going against one of the biggest teams

Thank you. Please comment on how this video helped and what you would like to see in other videos.

thanks man i got a great coaching staff but it doesn't hurt to look up drills on yt right? first game is against ohio state, wish me luck

Same rules apply, if they have longer arms, still get as low as possible to the point where youre at their legs. If that doesnt work, chop block em, meaning blow out their legs, just drop on em.

I'm a 6'2 272 lb freshman and I have a hard time run blocking faster guys. Any advice?

iv just been promoted to high school i really need some hlp

well here's everyone telling u how to tackle and not who to tackle! i know i should probably know that if I know the plays but I know a little more than the basics of plays i understand what 28 is 35 and all that but when i go to block defensive end my coach goes off on me because the halfback was going to block him... i know i sound very inexperienced but I am so pleas help me

Junior TE 6'7 170 squat 365, bench 150, and power clean 135. Doesn't matter how much muscle you have up top eveyn you're that tall. You are already stronger than everybody out there. You just don't know it.

I'm 5'3 150 pounds and in seventh grade in playing against big strong people that are like double my weight if I get under their pads does that help with keeping them in from of you

Need help my friend Evan is a bigger kid then me and I play center and he plays nose and when I try to block him he just throws me to the ground and I don’t know how to block him he is crazy good please help I need to know the way so I can be his Kryptonite

Dam this video was from 13y ago r this vid is older than me dam

What do you do when he is bigger than you and can get lower than you?

I always have a problem blocking cause some of the people I go against always rush inside (defensive tackle) and I'm a strong tackle....do I hit them,hit them then block (but it'll be way harder),or just do the stands and receive the blow?

I'm a 12 grader and I weigh 130 is it fair to put me on the D line I'm a nose guard safety and receiver I also bench 225 I squat 245 and dead lift 235 my 40 is 4.8 I'd it fair I'm better at safety

We're always happy to help! First off, what position will you be playing and what are some things you would like to work to improve? We have a variety of football training videos on our channel and sell some really great training tools that will help your performance for any position.

It's my first year playing. Im 5'9" and 130 pounds I'm pretty slim to be on the line but as long as you can beat your opponent off the line and stay low it shouldn't be to hard blocking until the ball is down the field. Your power comes from your legs. Keep your legs moving.

I'm 5'3 and 290, but I squat 650 and bench 380 so sometimes I can move taller kids.

I'm 6'0 255lbs on the ninth grade football team. My only problem is my leg strength. Anyone have any tips besides doing squats(which I'm terrible at). Like is there any other leg workouts I can do to help me get better besides squats?

junior Right Guard 4'7 93.7 pounds bench 3 pounds, squat 1 pound, dead lift 4 pounds, what other position should I play?

I'm 5'8 205 lbs 12th grade and playing Right Guard, Am I to small?

coach teach them proper three-point stance

believe it or not it works but you need to have better footwork then the d line i was put in as lineman my first game and i really was going to play wr but i got put in on o line and i was kicking ass at 155

At 1:57 i see this guys stance im like oh shit😂😂this guys right leg is out hella far like his back isnt even striaght. U cant teach them how to win if they cant even put up a good stance

I'm 5'7 160 pounds right guard yesterday I had a game I think I did alright but there's this guy that is about 6'1 and I can barely block him every time he fired off the ball he uses his forearms and hits my face mask what do I do

I'm in 8th grade ball nose guard/running back

How much weight should I squat if I bench 205

why coach tells me this all the time. so ya good advise

im 5'3 126 pounds i cant stahp them so much advice?

I'm 5'10 weight 198 pounds

im 140 11 uears old and left tackle how can i block some one like 210 or something

doesnt matter just get under them and drive through them

im a 250 pound 5'8 line. Could i take down a 285 5'10 line?

you cant put all your weight on your hand or they hit your hane you fall on your face

well a smaller guy you dont have to be as low since you could probably over power him if you go helmet to helmet. but a bigger buy get under him.

im 10 years old 7,10 1093lbs

1:52 what kinda stants is that

Putting all your weight on your hand will allow the defensive lineman to swat your hand making you fall on your face, bad Idea.

GO CHIEFS!!!
