Designed for defensive and offensive skill development, this machine lets players work on form tackling, wrap-up drills, forearm shiver, pass blocking, shoulder blocking, drive blocking, and leverage principles all on one piece of equipment. The adjustable overhead tube allows coaches to set an uphill angle so players drive the dummy \"up hill,\" simulating pursuit of a ball carrier, or level for repeated tackle and blocking drills. Large rollers ensure smooth, consistent movement rep after rep, while the galvanized steel overhead tube delivers maintenance-free durability that holds up to the demands of daily team practice.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Built for high school, college, and professional programs, the Open Field Tackle Machine is a trusted tool for coaches who understand that correctly practicing the proper speed and angle during run-pursuit drills is what translates to stops on game day. Whether you're running combination blocks, stalk blocks, cut blocks, or defensive pursuit drills, this machine gives your entire roster the reps they need in minimal practice time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Field Tackle Training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specifically designed to safely practice the toughest tackle in football - the open field tackle - with realistic speed and angle work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Offensive \u0026amp; Defensive Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Run form tackling, wrap-up drills, and forearm shiver on defense; work pass blocking, shoulder blocking, drive blocking, and leverage principles on offense.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Overhead Tube Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set the overhead tube lower at one end so players drive the dummy uphill, simulating run-pursuit angles, or leave level for straight tackle reps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGalvanized Steel Overhead Tube:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-lasting, maintenance-free construction that stands up to seasons of heavy daily use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Rollers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide smooth, consistent dummy movement year after year without binding or excessive wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoice of Dummy Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available with a 50 lb. or 80 lb. hanging dummy (same outside dimensions) to match your program's training needs and player age group.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple Pad Colors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose from Red, Blue, Orange, Yellow, or Green to match your team colors - contact Rogers Athletic for additional color options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombination, Cut \u0026amp; Stalk Block Training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offensively covers a full range of blocking techniques for skill position players and linemen alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom Options Available:\u003c\/strong\u003e Customization is available - request a quote for program-specific branding or color options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWeight Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50 lb.
