Coach Cambell,

When you you are going through the "stomp the arches" drill are you necessarily concerned with quick feet at first or do you gradually build quickness in to it, or is it just a drill to emphasize power. I would also like to find a drill that will help lower the line's hip level if you could help it would be great.

Thanks , Turbo

We actually do this drill in a wave format, making sure the linemen move front/back as fast as possible (pumping the arms) and side to side without bringing the heels together (punching the hands when they go side to side). As they tire, they rise up so make sure to ride them to keep those knees bent, backs straight and maintain a wide base.. I picked this up off a jim mcnally video..he calls it a duck demeanor drill because with the knees in, toes out and butt down, it looks very similar to a waddle. Very effective drill.
