Blocking
O-Line Tips: Proper Technique for Run & Pass Blocking · Play Football
What it is
Pace and Bentley teach O-line fundamentals covering pass sets, hand placement, run blocking angles, and leverage points for youth through varsity.
Why it's great
Most blocking videos show drills without context; this explains the 'why' behind hand position, hip placement, and footwork from two coaches who played at the highest level. Bentley's coaching pedigree and Pace's Hall of Fame technique make this unusually detailed for a general audience video.
How to use it in practice
Use the pass set progression: start with stance, then kick-slide mechanics with hands at chest level, then punch timing. For run blocking, drill the 'run your feet on contact' cue they emphasize—linemen should feel their feet chopping through contact, not stopping to anchor. The hip leverage checkpoint (numbers low, hands inside) works as a daily coaching point.
