Our three inside linebackers are young and don't move and react to the play. I have tried everything I know of to help them react and read on the run, but they just stand flat footed trying to find the ball and by that time the blockers are into them. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or drills to help the linebackers react on the run.

Blitz them! If you send them on a blitz do they go forward to their gaps? Everything we do and in every drill we make sure that they are always stepping to their gap FIRST. Their read is run, draw, screen, pass. Are they aggressive tacklers?
