Thanks for the support

[@gymrat974]

Good stuff coach! What other tweaks have you made to the old school shoulder blocking since running gun-t? Thanks

[@kennysimpson6282]

We have a few other adjustments - more hand placement drills - than a traditional wing t team. But we do try to keep it similar

[@gymrat974]

@@kennysimpson6282 gotcha, thanks for getting back to me coach.

[@chrisknight2820]

Any way that we can see some practice film cut ups on how you teach or demonstrate techniques like this for your OL? Down blocks, kick blocks, pull wall, etc?

That is one of my goals. I do think I have the buck sweep pull "pod" on this channel.
