Follow the Guard w/ Bo Gould

On this episode Kenny and Daniel are joined by Southside (Batesville, AR) OL Coach Bo Gould to discuss the fundamentals of Offensive Line play, where to start during your spring and fall installs, and how to make adjustments to get your OL Group to play beyond their ceiling

What is our plan going into spring/pre-season practice

• Getting OL to understand concepts rather than individual plays
• We teach our OL how they can get beat, and ways to prevent that. We also give them a “non-negotiable” which is a place they absolutely cannot allow a defender to get to
• We want to identify the group’s ceiling and then build practice plans to get there or exceed it

What drills to use with our OL?

• Coach Gould and Coach Simpson talk through their favorite drills
• We discuss the difference in skip-pull vs normal pulls and the advantages to each
• We share some tips to increase the success of your kick-out blocks

What adjustments may we have to make?

• We discuss how to work with slower linemen and still make the play work
• The fundamentals of Strong side and Quick side offensive lines
• Blocking doesn't have to look pretty, but it does have to work.

What NOT to do as a coach:

• Today’s Lesson: Don’t lie to your players, especially when it comes to next week’s opponent
