How big a football nerd are you?

Enough of one to read this?

How the backside drag hand in outside zone benefits offensive linemen

Great title

Seriously though, if you're enough of a nerd that you can actually get interested in learning about blocking concepts and such, this article's author, Brandon Thorn, is a good follow on Twitter.

In a year when we could really use some good linemen in the draft, a little info can be useful.

 

 

 

Maybe not to the level of this article, but hey

As a HS head football coach I have subscriptions to xandolabs, glazierclinics, bought coachtube courses, follow twitter coaches and download as many playbooks and watch as many podcasts as I can. So yeah ..

Tell me about those

[Jesse]

xandolabs - $50 a year with a wide variety of articles on offensive and defensive schemes, usually with supplemental practice plans

 

Glazier Clinics - $150 or so a year with videos from high school and college clinics. They had a MASSIVE library, but took them down because they’d have to convert the videos into their new site and format. 
 

Coachtube - variably priced clinics from high school, college and NFL coaches. For example the O Line coach from the Titans has one on the wide zone that I’m about to buy. 
 

A lot of this can be found on Twitter and YouTube, but I’ll be honest some YT creators have no clue what they’re talking about and give out poor info.

Interesting stuff.

Over the years, I've bought a load of books on coaching, strategies, even scouting and such but never looked into anything online.

Wasn't really even aware that it existed (though obviously it makes sense).

Man, that was a great article on technique. A bit of jiu-jitsu and a lot of physics there. Thanks!
