If you don't already have a sled, they are very simple to make (and cheap to buy). Sleds can be made of either metal or wood; each have their own ups and downs. After deciding what material works best for your needs; procure your sleds.
Though sleds are often associated with offensive practice, defense can also benefit greatly from work with sleds. After lining up your 5-7 man sled, have your defense line up single file. Each player should charge the first dummy, strike, then roll or shuffle down the line. You can use your whistle to call out attacks or have defenders use their own speed and techniques to attack each "offensive" sled.
How do sleds help? Defenders must learn to follow-through on every play, even if they feel intimidated by running full force into another player. Using a sled will make that action come as second nature, so that defenders will not cower, falter, or second guess themselves when it does come time to play man to man.
Another great way for your defenders to practice blocking is the Cut and Run drill.
Set up a series of cones in a zig zag line across the football field. Have your defensive line run through each set of cones, switching between sprinting and backpedalling. (If you want to change it up later in the season you can do high knees or any other sort of more complex movement.) After having gone through all the cones, have your defenders form a tackle.
Many coaches focus speed and agility drills on offensive players, but it's important to remember that your defense needs to be as strong and fast as the opponents offense.
