Drills Report – Hand Placement and Body Positioning for Attacking Frontsby: Wes BellDefensive Line Coach, Missouri Western State Universit © More from this issue The following drills are my absolute favorites for teaching hand and eye placement along with body positioning for aggressive attacking fronts. I take great pride in getting my players to buy into the penetrating philosophy, using their read keys to take them to the ball, and then giving 100% effort to get to the football regardless of where it is on the field. We treat every play as if it were a passing down with our thought process and initial get off, then we will play the run blocking scheme used against us with our hands and eyes. A term that I use with my players in regards to their body positioning is “Pushing a car uphill”. That analogy helps them picture in their head what I am looking for when it comes to the bend in their knees, slight bow in the back, stiff armed, and head up positioning.
