So what kind of different things do you do for speed? I know speed is more of a natural talent, but how can you help those lineman get faster. And what type of things do you run for conditioning such as 20's 40's or distance running?

Anything that strengthens your legs will increase your speed. Also, flexibility is huge in adding some speed. Also, it helps prevent injury. Now are you gonna be able to go from a 5.0 40, to a 4.5? No, but you can gain a step or two. Running stairs and sprints are the best things, in my opinion, to do for getting in better football shape and increasing speed and quickness. I wouldn't have my linemen out running 2+ miles a few times a week. I'd have them doing lots of short distance sprints, trying to increase their quickness the best I can.
