BEN BENNETT: Hey everybody, I'm Ben Bennett, head coach of the Austin Wranglers of the AFII Football League. I'm about to show a little bit about how we run some cone drills. In a football game, you got to get guys that can change direction, make a cut, stay balance and still accelerate, and go through the ball or to the end zone with the ball. John Roberson is going to demonstrate this. This is what we call the L drill. When I say go, Robo is going to take off and run, whole time his center of gravity is going to be low, and he is going to stay close to the cones. This is what we call the L drill. Go! And what we teach our guys when they do these things, as you saw Robo do, was to keep your center of gravity low, to keep your weight over your feet, and change directions. And when you get out of a cut, accelerate. He does it as well as anybody in the league. And that is how you run cone drills.
