Defensive Line Get-offs



Defensive Line
Teaching Progression
 
Fundamentals

 *Get-off

1.Key the ball – Strike when ball moves; (All drills will begin with ball movement when possible)
2.Attack with inside foot; short 6 inch power step, looking to get 3 steps before the down hand and assume a great strike position!!
3.Pad level down, eyes at the numbers of OL & STAY LOW!!!
GOAL: Beat the OL out of their stance. By the time the ball reaches the  Center’s tail, we should be striking / attacking OL & gap @ v of neck!


–Hand/Hat Placement – “Strike”

•Hands explode from ground up -  Elbows in, thumbs up
•Aiming for V of the neck / breastplate of OL – Be quick, inside hand replacement wins
•Helmet attacks and stays to gap side V of neck -  critical on reach blocks
•Feet must NEVER stop moving / win the battle of the hands!
•Pad level down & STAY LOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
         -Separation


•Strike- Zone @ full extension of arm, Lock elbows so arms are straight!!
•Use power hand/trail hand technique to turn shoulders of OL.
–Power hand lock out and stop pressure of OL using “Push-Pull” technique to turn OL shoulders & “Drive-Away” from block!!
–Trail hand pull
•Separation will occur up field

–Escape
•Violent pull – disrupt blocker from his responsibility
•Rip under -  power hand press, trail hand under
•Arm over – Power hand grab, trail hand over
•Play to backside (away), squeeze 1 gap

Pelini Did not Use Drugs

"FAU did not terminate your employment because of a finding that you used illegal drugs," FAU interim president Dennis J. Crudele wrote in the letter Tuesday. "Accordingly to clarify these significant points ... your resignation is withdrawn and your separation is converted to a termination with cause based on our finding that you failed to timely report certain conduct of a member of your staff, as required by your contract." Based on language in Pelini's contract, by being fired with cause he will not be paid by the university, but he also will not owe FAU any money, as he would have if his termination were considered a resignation. On Oct. 30, Pelini and defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis resigned. In a news conference that day, FAU athletic director Pat Chun said both coaches admitted to using "illegal drugs," which was in violation of their contracts. On.
