Product Description

"I can't imagine that there has ever been a better book on offensive line play. It is the ultimate teaching tool for any level of play--from the pro level to youth football. Great book!"

--Tom Flores, five-time Super Bowl champion

The most important unit on any football team, from Pop Warner to the pros, is the offensive line. In Playing the Offensive Line, former New York Giant and Super Bowl champion Karl Nelson and veteran coach Bob O'Connor team up to offer winning strategies to players and coaches of all levels. In this illustrated guide, the authors show how to:

  • Use proper stance
  • Block effectively in running, passing, kicking, and goal line situations
  • Execute a clean snap from center to quarterback

5 out of 5 stars As Tom Flores and Bill Parcells said--Great book   February 21, 2006
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful


As a college and high school line coach the O line has been my priority. This book tells you how to accomplish the fundamentals. Fundamentals in the O line are the key to offensive success. This book explains the fundamentals well and gives experienced coaches some great coaching points. It is not about blocking schemes. Blocking schemes have to be tailored to each individual offense, but the fundamentals are what make the schemes go. I especially liked the pass protection and goalline blocking chapters.

I purchased this book because of the editorial review thinking that it was all that and more. This book is an overview of the most basic O-line info. No call system, no blocking schemes no nothing. If your looking for detailed techniques, drills and such this book is NOT it.
