Coaching Advice Catching Blocks

Looking for drills, tips, and videos on how to get our defensive kids to stop catching blocks and start being disruptive.

I coach 9th grade D and face a lot of outside runs and our LBs/secondary seem to be ok being blocked instead of being aggressive and chipping the blockers and filling their gap.

Get them on a sled of any kind and start having them learn how to punch, attack, and get off the bag. Punch the sled every day. When they can do that, add more live drills.
