Cover: winning in the trenches: developing the offensive line for high school football
Winning in the Trenches: Developing the Offensive Line for High School Football
with Eric Reis,
Manteca (CA) High School Head Coach,
2006 Coach of the Year;
and Dan Eavenson, Manteca (CA) High School Assistant Coach

Coach Reis uses a process vs. product philosophy when developing his offensive line. He believes it is important to focus on the process of what it takes to build a game-winning program, rather than focus only on the product itself. For Reis, it is vital to "win in the trenches." In order to achieve this, you must know your group, know the mental toughness of your athletes, be well aware of your technique and steps and develop your playbook with the line in mind. Reis and Eavenson discuss the grading system that Manteca High School implements, and Coach Eavenson includes examples of how athletes are graded within this system by way of game footage. Along with game footage, this lecture-style session is guided by a thorough and well-organized visual presentation that allows one to gain an understanding of just what it takes to build a successful offensive line.

FD-03000B: with Chris Strausser,
Boise State University Tight Ends Coach

Coach Strausser's lecture-style presentation of the Boise State screen system includes goals of the offense, specific results and things that cause problems for the offense. Keys for the linemen are finishing the block and wearing down the opponent with patience and perseverance. Practicing the run game demands full speed execution. 'Team run' is a segment of practice and focuses on schemes and play coordination. Simplicity is a big part of communicating the system to players. Concepts, not plays, are taught to players. Four base concepts include inside zone, outside zone, pulling and lead concepts. The scheme segment includes numbers, combos, angles and power scheme.

FD-03000C: with Chris Strausser,
Boise State University Tight Ends Coach

There are similar aspects of teaching Boise State's inside and outside zone as presented by Coach Strausser in this excellent lecture-style presentation. Both have combination blocks but the aiming points are different. The aiming points are wider and the reads are specific for backs, yet the players up front focus on zone concepts, which make up 75% of the running game. Fundamentally they deal with the same block, though the inside zone deals with drive blocking and vertical movement while the outside scheme teaches base reach. Zone philosophy is directed by downhill, physical play and double teams. Game footage helps illustrate and reinforce all of the concepts and schemes discussed.

Drills are executed at full game speed, both with and without special equipment. Strausser points out common mistakes that linemen make and discusses how to correct them. After covering drills in practice, Strausser shares the techniques in action in actual game footage.
