On May 10 John Teerlinck, one of the greatest D-Line coaches of all time, passed away. Coach Teerlinck coached greats like Robert Mathis, Chris Doleman, Kevin Greene, Dwight Freeney and John Randle. In honor of all he has done I broke down his famous 3 on 1 drill below..
Why do the 3 on 1 drill?
One of the key fundamentals of Coach Teerlincks system is to get off vertically vs the run and the pass. With this mentality, D-Linemen need to understand how they should fit and react in both run and the pass situations with this aggressive technique.
