Important Factors in Pass Protection

He stresses that players should understand that pass protection starts with the feet and that the hands only counter the defensive player.

In all, you'll learn:

• What to stress to your players to make them effective pass blockers.
• To teach your players how to maintain their base and where the pressure should be in their feet.
• How Coach Loney teaches different pass sets based on the QB's launch point on 3-step, 5-step, and 7-step pass plays.

Drills to Teach Pass Protection Fundamentals

Loney continues by taking his players through several drills that teach pass protection fundamentals. Proper base, footwork, strike, and posture are stressed as each drill progresses. You will receive several drills that teach counters to common pass rush moves, as well as how to pick up twists and pass rush games. Additionally, Coach Loney explains how he teaches offensive lineman to work from a disadvantaged position to avoid giving up sacks and hits on the QB.

If your O-line needs work, this is your chance to add several drills that will help you develop more complete offensive linemen. Keep your quarterback's jersey clean and your offense humming with improved pass protection!
