Subject: Defensive Line Drills
Date: August 14, 2026

There is no shortage of fancy equipment and goofy time-wasting drills available for defensive line coaches. But you don’t need all that.

Break it down to the 1-on-1 game if you want a dominant defensive front.

Skip the chutes, sleds, boards, hoops. There won’t be any of that on the field on Game Day.

This week on The Football Coaching Podcast, Daniel and I share the Defensive Line Drills that translate to the field and win football games.

Drills don’t have to be complicated. They should not be complicated.

Win the 1-on-1 game. Build around that.

On defense, most of our Indy drills focus on key reads. The key read tells you the assignment.

Build the ASKA around your run fits. Build your drills to support the ASKA. Simple.
