Instructions
- 1Attack the blocker's outside half with a hard first three steps.
- 2Use one hand move — chop-rip, swipe, or long-arm — the instant the blocker's hands come out.
- 3Flatten to the quarterback's spot rather than running an upfield arc.
What to focus on
Pairing the first-step threat with a single decisive hand move at the blocker's edge.
Common mistake
Rushing with no hand plan and getting caught on the blocker's chest.
