De La Salle's O-Line

The "Flipper" is the old chicken wing technique that the Wing-T utilizes in many cases. The thing about De La Salle, they have great athletes at RB who hit the hole at 100mph, so the linemen are basically taught to stay at the thigh pad level (just above a cut block, basically) and drive their shoulder in the OL lower half with the helmet across the body. This gives them a quick surge, and seal when they get their legs going and that's all the RB/QB mesh needs is a quick bubble and seal to make that veer read and go. As far as specific techniques and teaching, I don't know that, but I would love to be able to sit down with Coach LaDouceur and pick his brain on that.

I have a dvd that I got at a clinic that goes through the De La Salle oline progression pretty good stuff. Lots of sled work and working on firing off the ball
