Half man Advantage For Offensive Linemen In Straight Dropback Protection

The following are discriptive terms that I use for teaching dropback protection pass technique.

1. When pass setting your shoulders should aways my opposite the punch, shoulders should never follow the punch.
2. Must maintain an inside out position using the half man advantage.
3. Pound the nail with the back of the helmet. This helps in teach getting the shoulders and head back faster (hammer the nail)
4. Punch up, not out. When pass setting don't teach your lineman to punch out but punch up. The focus of the punch should be to the top of the jersey number of the down defende By punching up instead of punching out helps you set your hips underneath you.
5. Look up through the window; helps the punch up instead of punching out. When an offensive lineman brings his hands together for the punch he should look up through the punch instead of out through the punch.
6. Create the triangle.
