Based on that video he is having a hard time finding a job on the Auburn offensive line.

You must be itching bad for some football to get a minute plus into OL Sled Drills for a team you don’t root for.

You gotta love football practice. I do not miss hitting the sleds/dummies. I love what (I think) Micah James says - don't worry about perfect fit, just be violent. Yes.

For those that don't know (everyone in the thread), those are not normal blocking sleds. Normal 1-man blocking sleds are around 200 lb. And you hit them straight away.

The sleds you see in the video are lower to the ground, angled down, and forces the player to get very low and then come back up through the blocker. And the thing weighs between 350 and 400 lb.

So there's that.

I was expecting to see something more “viral”, and that be the reason for watching. Like him whiffing the sled entirely.

Makes sense, I was also assuming these were defensive linemen when I first watched so I was confused.

As long as all the defensive lineman they have to block only weigh 200 pounds they should be fine.

I can see the sled being heavier than normal but there was little to NO initial POP from most of these guys. Hence the "Soft" comment from the coach. You aren't going to hurt the sled, guys.

For what it's worth, Bama's is only a skosh bit better. Not by much though.

That #76 O-Lineman is Jack Leyrer and he is a 6th year senior. He spent 5 years at Stanford before transferring to Auburn. How does a 6th year senior look this bad?
