Fundamental time in practice

You can incorporate a "Pre-Practice" period and you can utilize that time for assignments. Make sure you go over the blocking schemes vs. the fronts you expect that week. Also, when we have our daily special teams period, our O-Line coach will work our PAT/FG protection and when finished uses the rest of the period as his "assignment" time with the linemen.

I appreciate the advice. I do feel I have been doing far too much "talking" and not enough repping. Especially in the first few weeks of practice. This week we have repping more and I have bben correcting on the fly. It was a little rocky at the first of the week, but it seemed to be sinking in to them yesterday and we had fewer missed assignments in the passing game than we have ever had since I have been here.
Is 10 min enough to get in one on one time. I have 38 OL.

Coach Easton,

Now when I say OL, I use the term loosely. They range from 6'5" 300 to 5'7" 165. The philosophy here is "if they ain't athletes they need to play on the line." I don't lament about it, I work with what I've got. I have one other coach with me. He is an excellent coach, we just need to find a way to get these guys the fundamental time that is needed along with the scheme work that is required. I am implementing pre-practice time to work with the kids certain aspects of the game. This week, I worked BOB protection with my OTs cause I kick slide was more of a hinge. Next week I will mostly likely be working on counter pulls as the OT are to tight to the LOS when they pull. It is just those little things like that, for which I am having trouble finding time to fix. And you know that little things can lose you a game fast.
