The WIDE GAP SLED is built to suit the needs of today’s NFL Offensive Line Coaches. It’s a big powerful sled. Built for big, powerful o-lineman. It has an extra wide Jumbo Pad that is perfect for double team blocks. The Jumbo Pad has a gripable shoulder pad and numbered torso jersey. Perfect for shooting the hands and getting excellent hand placement. The 10’ split between the pads allows all combination blocks with multiple schemes. The Ramback Mechanism teaches blockers to shoot their hips and get leverage into the block while driving their feet. Perfect for teaching combo blocks. Because of the wide pad spacing, two blockers can execute a zone block from an inside shade. Alternatively, two blockers can line up on an outside shade to create a realistic first and second level combination block. Use the sled to teach pass protection kick slide to power step versus an inside edge rusher. Also useful for teaching sets on squares where blockers work on timing the punch! Sled length 12'. Pad split 10'.
“The coaching point is to teach footwork, alignment, power angles and leverage against a sled that simulates the look of a modern defensive front.”
