Rae Crowther 2-Man Football Buckee Sled

Rae Crowther 2-Man Football Buckee Sled   • The Buckee sled is a tool designed to enhance the effectiveness of playing long and square in offensive line play. It derives its name from a common defensive line technique often called the Buck Board. • The key feature of the Buckee sled are the rotating H1 pads. The Buckee is designed with pads that emulate the shoulders of defensive linemen. When the H1 pad is truck on the outside shoulder it twists or rotates, mirroring the should disruption of the defensive linemen. The H1 pads have real shoulder pads and a jersey to provide an authentic feel for the blocker. After the pads are hit they reset to the forward facing position ready for the next rep. The incorporated shock at the base of the pads creates realistic resistance, forcing the blocker to lock out his arms on contact. • In the Buck Board technique, the defensive lineman aims to explode out of his hips, driving his arms into the offensive lineman’s chest to create knockback. To counter this technique in the zone game, we use the Buckee technique to achieve pinpoint accuracy by attacking the play-side shoulder tip of the defensive lineman as he crosses the line of scrimmage. This creates significant shoulder disruption if the offensive lineman has his feet planted and arms locked out on impact. • The shoulder disruption gained with the Buckee technique allows the trail blocker to overtake the defensive lineman and enables the Buckee blocker to launch toward his targeted linebacker while remaining square and powerful. • Both the blocker and coach receive instant feedback on whether the technique was executed correctly. If the pad does not turn and recoil back to its home base, the technique is incorrect. Because the sled automatically resets, it allows coaches to maximize daily reps without needing to adjust the sled each time. • The Buckee Sled can be used as a traditional 2-man sled by locking the pads in place (when locked they won’t rotate). The sled can also be used to train a base block with a torque finish, a technique that occurs in nearly every running play. The sled enables rapid-fire training of this finish for multiple players. • Finally, for coaches who teach aggressive pass sets and emphasize playing long with powerful strikes, this sled is a valuable tool. You can practice up kicks and up posts. • Players can use the sled as a post-practice tool to refine all the techniques mentioned. It is truly the most effective tool on the market for coaches who teach playing long and square. • Pad colors: black, navy, royal, red, gold.
