"On the Barrels!" BOB is where it all starts!

EVERYDAY  during the season, spring practice, summer workouts, and Shark School lab our players are summoned to practice with coaches and teammates yelling, "On the Barrels!" BLITZ ON BARRELS is where we start all defensive sessions of practice. There is no question that the time we spend "on the barrels" makes us who we are in terms of being a formation based pressure defense. Our players know that this time is an absolute full speed drill! Full speed MENTALLY!

We have 3 sets of barrels on different hashes, and arranged in different formations. We work formation/shift/motion adjustments as well as our formation based pressures on the barrels. We will script 20 calls for a 10 minute segment and run each call on each set of barrels. This is also a time to teach formation rules/tendencies but we do not want this to be a stand and talk session. It is BLITZ ON BARRELS! Our players know that this is as important as anything we do and should be attacked in that manner. I have included a picture (above) of a set of barrels set for a practice. I am also attaching a 20 minute video of our first BOB segment in a Shark School this year. Keep in mind that these guys are still 6 months from Game 1 as they work in this video. But it was fun to finally get back "On the Barrels!"
