Drills Report: The Pipe Drill for Offensive Linemen

We use the Pipe Drill on a regular basis with our offensive linemen. The objective of the drill is to teach O-linemen the proper footwork in five blocking techniques versus air.  

There are five phases to the pipe drill:

    1. Bucket step
       2. Lateral jab step
       3. Down block
       4. Trap-pull
       5. Drive block
