How to teach it

  • 1Jet motion is faster than rocket — the toss is quick and short; rep the mesh timing so it never stalls.
  • 2Playside blockers reach and arc to wall the perimeter — drill walling, not chasing.
  • 3Snap timing: center snaps as the jet man hits the QB's outside hip.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !Snap and motion mistimed so the jet man is past the QB; fix by setting a landmark for the snap call.
  • !Blockers turn upfield too early and let the edge defender cross their face; fix with wall-and-mirror technique.
