Breakdown Drill• Purpose is to find punt team members and
train them to break down and make a great open field tackle
• Set-up= 10 yds. wide and 30 yds. Deep.Coach and tackler at one end,“Return man” at other end.On “go” tackler sprints to return man, coach times the throw and places the ball high like a punt to the return man. The tackler should motor down and have good balance to make a form tackle
Coaching Points on Breakdown Drill
• Tackler should sprint to the ball carrier!• Tackler needs to time his “motor down” so
he doesn’t run by the return man.• Tackler needs to time his “motor down” so
he doesn’t give the return man too much room to work with.
• Form tackle is expected-chin up, “bite the ball”, uncoil the spring, grab skin.
Drill Clips
Protection RulesCount the number of defenders on the L.O.S. on either side of the snapper.3 or fewer men on a side means you will protect man-on-man.More than 3 defenders on a side will be protected with a “zone” concept.P.P. will tell each side what their protection rules are (ex. Man Left, Zone Right!)Repeat the protection calls!!!Man side will claim their defender by pointing. They should start with #1 outside.
Protection Rules continued
Zone side will step inside on snap of the ball, blocking any and all defenders attempting to rush through that gap.P.P has most immediate outside rush on “zone” side.If both sides are a “Man” call, P.P. watches for blitz up the middle.If both sides are a “Zone call, P.P. must take outside rush on side of punting foot. You must have an audible for a pass if defense does not cover gunners.
