The Flexbone Fix: Why Fat Linemen Get You Fired
1. The Core Problem
In 16 years in business, the biggest Flexbone issue is offensive linemen lacking positional leverage.
This happens most at center and guard.
Over 80% of client questions focus on these positions.
The real issue? Linemen can’t get to Point B.
They struggle to move from stance to position.

2. The Reason Why
They’re too fat.
Fat linemen don’t move well.
Fatness gets coaches fired.
Power is overrated in the Flexbone.
Quickness matters more than size or strength.
⸻
3. The Reality of the Offense
You’re not base blocking anyone.
You’re either triple-teaming or leaving defensive linemen unblocked.
The priority is getting into leverage fast.
Movement matters more than power.
⸻
4. The Solution
Play 150-pound offensive linemen.
They won’t base block—but they’ll reach leverage.
Quick linemen fix leverage issues.
Choose quickness over power, every time.
That choice keeps your offense—and your job—alive.
