In the spirit of team improvement, let's take a look at how the Rushmen will be improving this summer.
If you've missed some entries in this series, 'Rushmen' is the official term for defensive linemen in Kiffin's playbook.

There are some things in these pages that seem to guarantee this playbook's authenticity...
The first drill, the Line Drill, looks much like a receiver's route tree. The two 'V's at the top are the linemen's starting positions, while the lines emerging from their tips are their possible paths of movement.
The idea is that Kiffin and Marinelli want their Rushmen to move efficiently; they want sharp cuts on every reaction without wasted movement. If you've watched, for example, Tony Romo eluding pressure, you've seen that often D Line players take very rounded paths when they have to change direction. Not here. The players will be asked to rush immediately forward and, once at full speed, react immediately to various stimuli causing change in direction.
Where the Line Drill is an instinct drill, the second drill, Donkey *****, is a technique drill.
