There’s your pass protection scheme, and there’s the technique you use to execute it. Today we’re talking about technique.

You’re probably familiar with kick sliding... that thing you see NFL Offensive Tackles do all the time. But that’s not the only way to protect your quarterback.

Or even the best way to go about it, if you don’t throw the ball much. There’s a few options.

In today’s episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, we talk about 3 different styles of pass protection...

  1. Kick-Slide Technique
  2. Vertical Set Protection
  3. Lead Step Protection

Each method has it’s advantages and disadvantages. I’ve taught all of them in the past (and will likely use them again in the future, at the right time).

This isn’t a thing where you choose 2 or 3. You choose one technique for the entire season, based on what is best for your football team.

When you want to go more in depth on pass protection, check out Joe Daniel Football Insiders. The Offensive Line Coaching Formula is a 12 hour instructional course including an entire module on how to teach pass protection for your linemen (no matter what level you coach!).

There are many different ways to coach Linebacker Keys. They all have their merits. None of them are perfect. 

This is probably the most asked question I get at Joe Daniel Football. What should our Linebacker reads be? 

It's pretty simple. What do you like the best? What gets your kids going the fast? 

You need to decide how much room for error you want to leave. How important is it for the keys to be right on paper? 

What your kids can process will be a determining factor. What can they learn? What can they execute? What gets them going fast? 

In this episode, I'll go through several different options for coaching your Linebacker reads. Decide what works best for you and your players!

Your players have a million things happening in their lives. And it's increasing all the time. 

Family. Friends. Other sports. Academics. 

Even when your players want to do the right thing... it's difficult.

(most of them want to do the right thing, by the way)

 I recorded this episode completely off-the-cuff. No real preparation, a couple notes on a piece of paper. 

But it is very real. This is important stuff. Not the X's and O's. The stuff that matters. 

I do a lot of surveys of coaches that use Joe Daniel Football and listen to The Football Coaching Podcast. The issues we address in this episode are at the top of your list of problems. 

Players who want to play other sports. Single sport athletes are a big problem in the world today. Not because it's wrong to play one sport. But because it's wrong to play one sport if the kid wants to play other sports. 

What about parents? That's the big issue. It's probably the one that keeps me from being a head coach. Parents are tough to deal with sometimes. They have unreasonable expectations. 

Social life. Kids are getting into a lot more than we ever did. OK, maybe not. But it seems like it. Youth makes stupid decisions. We have to deal with that, and help as best we can.

Expectations are sky high. Every kid, and every parent, thinks they're getting a scholarship. Any talented kid has heard from his uncle who used to play for a semi-pro team that he's definitely going to make it in The League. We have to deal with that, too. 

Listen to Episode 168 of The Football Coaching Podcast for ideas on how to deal with all of this. And for lots more on building relationships that matter with your players, check out the Max Motivation for Peak Performance course that is an exclusive series for JDFB Insider members
