Blocking
The Art of Run and Pass Blocking Broken Down by Joe Thomas | NFL Film Sessions · NFL
What it is
Joe Thomas uses NFL film to teach run and pass blocking fundamentals for offensive linemen at all levels.
Why it's great
Most OL videos show drills without context; Thomas shows game film and explains the hip angles, hand placement, and footwork adjustments that separate adequate from elite blocking. He names the specific technical failures before showing the fix.
How to use it in practice
Use this as a film study template with your linemen. Pause at each example Thomas highlights and have them identify the technical detail before he explains it. Focus especially on his pass-pro hand placement cues and the run-blocking hip position that creates movement.
