Drills
You may want to develop some of your own drills which utilize the
capabilities of your JUGS Football Machine.
Charlie McClendon and his staff, at Louisiana
State University, have come up with the following
drills utilizing JUGS. Receivers, linebackers and
secondary men get a real chance to develop
using these and similar drills.
Linebacker’s Interception Drill
(Figure 15)
The players line up in single file, twenty yards
directly in front of the machine. Start out by
spiraling the ball high so they will have to jump
for it and then go to the bad- ball drill.
Linebacker’s Distraction Drill
(Figure 16)
Two players face each other, approximately
25 yards away from JUGS. They put their
hands up and try to distract the linebacker from
making the interception.
Linebacker’s Underneath Cover Drill
(Figure 17)
Have the receivers run a wide route. The
linebacker must sprint for coverage without
getting in a chase position on the receiver.
Linebacker’s Circle-Coverage Drill
(Figure 18)
The receivers circle from ten to fourteen
yards deep, then slice in either direction. The
linebacker must turn and sprint to the coverage
area without turning his back to pass or for
“back peddling.”
