I’ve been sick since we won the game, and these last couple of weeks seeing our commits has got me back to full speed. So excited for this signing class and the future here at FERRIS STATE! GO DAWGS!
ONE MONTH AGO! The 'Dawgs captured the NCAA Division II National Championship one month ago today in McKinney, Texas! A day that will live forever in Bulldog history!
Two steps before you make contact. Weight on your instep. Widen your base. Stay off your toes. Don’t pop your second step. Stop hopping… I am the most broken record at this point of camp.

Starting next month. I will be chasing a goal that I’ve had for awhile of losing 100 lbs. I’m making it official. I’m putting my name on it. The heaviest I weighed during my playing career was 310 lbs and am 20 lbs away. Let’s go!

The splits of an offensive line dictate:
🪐The space in between the tackles
🥞The proximity for double teams and solo blocks
📏The distance of the edge of the defense
Know the splits and why you're doing it.

🅾️This YouTube channel is designed to be used as resource for our OL to use for the game of football.
🅱️It also is a great resource for any young offensive line coaches who need some help.
@chrisvIQtory
Pros: easy to teach, most accurate snaps and smoother operation time, and weather nor injuries impact the operation of offense.
Cons: no off loaded hand, no front ID from center with pointing, can’t go from under center to gun, and you look silly.
Getting closer to training camp, don’t forget to keep it simple. Be efficient with drills. Be clear and concise with instructions. If all else fails, form a triangle.
@CoachDanCasey
Regardless of technique/skill of defender, hand size of snapper, weather, surface, etc, the snaps are within the frame of QB and on time. We have 8 guys who can play center in a game too. Also, 0 techs are never an issue.
