What it is

Dan Carrel teaches linebacker run fits for direct, split, and gap flow with position-specific drills for each read type.

Why it's great

Most LB videos teach gap assignments in theory; this one shows the footwork and eye progression for each flow type so linebackers recognize and fill on time. The drill structure isolates each flow pattern, which is how you fix the linebacker who's always a step late.

How to use it in practice

Run this as a 20-minute teaching station: demo each flow type with the guard key, drill the footwork without contact, then add blockers. The direct-flow drill starts with the guard pulling toward the linebacker—teach them to attack the guard's inside shoulder, not wait and get washed.
