FridayNightPulse: Dutchmen DEs Get Ready for Takeoff with the 'Rush' Drill
📍 Erasmus Hall Dutchmen·Wednesday, July 29, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At Erasmus Hall, Dutchmen defensive ends are gearing up for a dominant season with a high-intensity drill that targets speed, agility, and burst. The 'Rush' drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps: 10-yard sprint, 5-yard change of direction, and a 5-yard acceleration finish. Coaches cue: 'Quick feet, explosive hips, and a low center of gravity.' This drill translates to game performance by simulating the rapid changes of direction and acceleration required to chase down ball carriers. By incorporating the 'Rush' drill into their summer training, Dutchmen DEs will be better equipped to close the gap and make game-changing plays. Incorporate this drill into your own training regimen to get a head start on the competition.
