As Tom Flores and Bill Parcells said--Great book

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.
