Have you ever debated with a friend as to the most important position in football? I'm sure the answer has varied depending on who you have asked but by far the offensive linemen are one of the most important positions. If they don't play their positions correctly then they won't provide their team with a chance to score.

It isn't just important that they are making plays it is also important that they are in shape. They need to be in shape in order to continue to play effectively and last for as long as the quarters go. If they cannot last the duration of the quarter than the team suffers as a whole.

The first drill ends up placing one offensive lineman at the bottom of a hill. Placed on the hill are 2 defensive linemen. The offensive linemen in this case linemen 1 needs to push one of them up the hill as quickly as he can. Once the whistle is then blown the 1st linemen then needs to switch to the 2nd defender and try to push him up the hill as well. This is an extremely ravaging exercise that helps the linemen build strength, stamina, and endurance.

Another very common drill is the use of a lineman pushing into a defender with a blocking shield. This works as follows. The linemen get down into regular starting positions. When the whistle blows they will proceed to push full force into the blocking shield trying to push it as hard and as fast as they can. Again this exercise builds stamina and muscle. Both are important qualities to have in a lineman.

These are just some of the drills used for football offensive line drills. All of which are extremely important for the players to follow correctly.
