Welcome to Big Warriors Linemen Blog!

This is a great place to network with us. Who are we? A group of Local Coaches from the Western US and Hawaii...as well as Japan, New Zealand, Samoa, and beyond. Our network is designed to take a small group of past players and coaches that know what it takes to make it to the next level in Football. From Friday Night Lights to Saturday game day... we are here to help you make that leap. Most players never make it...and some that do make it probably were not the best at their position. Like many things in life it is the "Who you know" factor. Together we will track some of the best up and coming linemen and athletes in the Western State and Pacific Islands. If you think you got the right stuff and want our help... by all means contact us. The help and advice is free.... so no promises. We can not turn a Hyundai into a Hummer but we will sure try and help...if your willing to work!

"My effort...is my mark.
I will give...so much effort,
That my mark...will not fade."

Granny throws to develop Explosive Power with Matt James


The Granny Throw with a medicine training ball is one of my favorite drills for linemen. Good for all athletes but this drill works the core like a Power lift but at the same time develops the ankles, Knees, and Hips. Getting those hips to release is crucial for linemen on both sides but especially O linemen. There is a great video of this at http://sparqtraining.com/videos/?p=601 and I have seen this work to develop players here in the NW. Pictured is Myles Wade, future Oregon Duck, at the Nike Combine at Eugene in 2006. Various weights of medicine balls can be used. A great drill to be done in three sets of ten.
