Coaches Notebook

Offensive linemen are often the forgotten part of a successful play, everyone watching a game likes to watch a deep touchdown pass or a long scoring run, but none of those exciting plays would ever take place without a solid, dependable offensive line.

At the youth level the difference between most teams is the skill and technique of the offensive line, simply put the better offensive line you have the better your chances of being successful are.  However often coaches ignore or lose sight of this fact and do not invest the time to teach proper blocking techniques.
