The ‘Brandon Mason’s Training of the Big Men in the Trenches’ (BMTBMT) would start with a short warm up. A couple 15 yard down and backs doing high knees, butt kicks, light jog, then some jumping jack and then get into some stretching. Always trying to prevent injuries. The first drill would be some conditioning/foot speed. Fast and proper footwork is a crucial part of being a lineman, this allows you to keep that dline in front of you and off your QB. It would be a 4 cone drill. Sprint from cone 1 to cone 2, high knees laterally from cone 2 to cone 3, back pedal from cone 3 to cone 4, then lateral shuffle from cone 4 back to cone 1. Each would go through 3 times, then flip directions. The second drill would work on starts from the line. Each player will line up and wait for the correct signal, then pretend to engage with proper technique. This will help then learn to pay attention to the cadence and we can correct any improper form. We would close out with some 1x1 type drills to have the players practice what we worked on in more game like situations.
