Notes:
-- More back and forth from the offensive and defensive lines. Today, o-line coach Bill Callahan worked his guys on a hippity-hoppity pass blocking drill. On Monday I pointed out that d-line coach Brian Baker drills his guys on working free from a two-handed punchout and on ways to get around the linemen. Today, Callahan taught an antidote to this move. He has his linemen practice countering rushes where the d-lineman gets his hands inside and gains initial leverage. The defender tried to grab the o-lineman's jersey and pull him downwards, knocking him off-balance.
The o-linemen practiced hopping backwards on their first two steps, to break free from the downward pull. They would t hen dig in and hold their ground. It's been an informative two days, and the offensive line appears to be getting a more thorough preparation from Callahan than they have in years past.
That last sentence intrigues me quite a bit because Vela has been going to Training Camp practices since 2010.
Do work Coach Callahan!
