The HC says, "no," so I ask the kid why he wants to run the ball. "So I can run over people!" Okay, I tell the coach to do "Smash Alley." Kid carries the ball and gets lit up. I ask, "While we're doing this drill, anybody else want to be a runningback?" No replies.

Aaron, it's kind of a variation of the "Gauntlet" but the ball-carrier has to be more physical. "The Gauntlet" makes ball-carriers tough but "Smash Alley" makes them aggressive. I don't teach my ball-carriers to elude. I teach them to attack the tackler ("hunt the hunter.") Nothing like trucking a defender that sends a message to the entire defense "Warning--Attempting to Tackle our Ball-Carriers may Result in Injury." It's a drill that makes players reconsider whether they really want to be runningbacks. I have a PowerPoint available.

Dave,
We use the same approach using your "t-time" drill. We tell the backs the D has to have two guys to stop you! It would be unfair otherwise.
If you were supposed to watch your mouth all the time I doubt your eyes would be above it. - Mike Cooley / DBT
Love it. I might use this at tonight's practice, as I suspect some changes are in the works. I'll follow up later.....
could I get that powerpoint please
