Middle Drill (14-25 men):
The middle drill is similar to the previous drill, only the interior linemen are used offensively and defensively, as illustrated in [Figure 134]. The defensive alignments are changed around and the offense runs all situations. At times we use the down marker and chains simulating down and distance when doing this drill.

7-Man Spin-Out Drill (8-12 men):
[Figure 135] illustrates a player moving from a good defensive position hitting the sled, spinning out, and hitting every other pad on the machine. If moving to the right, we want the players to hit the sled with the right shoulder, keep a tight arc, spin out correctly, and deliver a good blow to the alternate pad. We drill the players right and left as we want to give them practice spinning out both ways.
