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

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.

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

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

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. 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.

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..☝️❤️

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.

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

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!

this was an awesome vid

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

wish they had those bands when i played

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.

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

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

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

ok im 13 im 5'10 and 120 pouds and im a tight end im more so of a recving te but i can block to and this video just helped me alot more thaks for posting it really helped me. ps should i try out for reciver next year

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.

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

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

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

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?

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 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?

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

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.

doesnt matter just get under them and drive through them

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

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

How much weight should I squat if I bench 205

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.

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

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

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

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

I'm 5'10 weight 198 pounds

1:52 what kinda stants is that

I'm Greg

Im 5'7 156 pds o line men is that good or bad

i am 5'7 and 12 years old. and weigh 115 pounds and can take down a high schooler

i cant im 67 pounds and in football i go againsta 140 pound people

I'm 5'8 and 160 and can't block worth a shit

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!!!
