-"Square-in , wide Flare, wall off".
5. Half-back Flat:-HB runs at 'W' - crosses face and breaks out.
-QB 5 quick steps - plant and throw.-Vs Cloud - HB sits down.
-Don't make HB reach for ball - THROW SOFT.
6. Y Cross:
-TE - BIG get body between defender and QB.
-TE crossing - release cleanly = move.-QB - 5 BIG steps and hitch.
-Throw to middle of Y.-Y 10-12 yds deep and settle over center.

C) 7 Step Drop
-Bread and Butter BIG chunk offense.
9. Flanker Turn In:-WR split 12-14 yds.

or cone.
10. Hooking Pattern:-WR 12-14 yd split. Split will be game planned.
-Vs Cloud convert to Fade and turn after clearing Cornerback. Release inside vsCloud.

11. Flare-back:-Practice catching check off flares and splitting two defenders. Look for two and get
your body beyond tacklers.-FB gets ball move on Flanker. Turn in then Flanker.
-Have the nerve to stay with the FB.-Y gets to sideline as fast as possible and sits down.-FB sets for an instant and rns 'M' route.

-Keep the length of the throw consistent.-7 step hitch and throw.
-Practice throwing to a spot with WR standing there.
-Don't throw if DB is deeper than WR when you hitch step.-Measure distance with WR full speed than practice stationary.-WR: release inside than out - chase DB step on his toes and run by him - keep DB
in his backpeddle - look DB in the eyes NOT past him.-At 8 yds, be 1 yd inside, next 8 yds be 1 yd outside.
-When thrown inside the 25 yd line change to 5 step drop.-Throw GO RIGHT more often than left.
-Vs Cloud throw in hole (only vs stationary DB) 5 Step drop.
13. Deep Out:-Only when DB is turing and running away.
-WR 12 yrd split.
-20 yds full speed - plant and come back.-7 step and hitch step and throw to spot.
-Ball should be released as WR is planting foot.-WR always keep elbows and arms in running position. just before you break, drop
head and dig (pump hands).
