Keep a Good Base & Sit on the “Barstool” Playing Offensive Line
The worst thing an offensive lineman can do is basketball shuffle. He cannot get to a point where all the sudden basketball where you’re kicking your heels because you’re playing the game with no base and again we never know what contacts going to happen, so if you shuffle put your feet together and there’s contact there’s no strength you’ve lost that position of strength. So what we’re going to do is as we get in our sit on the barstool it’s going to be short steps and so everything I do I have to stay in that position of strength, I have to stay if I am strongest with my feet this far apart I have to play the game with my feet this far apart. Okay we’ll start with Robbie right here, we’re just going to walk across he’s going to sit on the barstool in a right handed stance, go, good, good, okay. And that’s what you have to do is you study you have to watch your feet, you have to see your feet that you’re standing in the base right there. Doc’s going to be up he’s going to go in the opposite direction and his left hand is stance here, go, good, good, okay.
