How to teach it
- 1Motion timing so the ball is snapped as the slot passes the QB.
- 2Pitch leads the runner so he never slows down.
- 3Everyone blocks on the run, no waiting.
Common mistakes to fix
- !Snap timing off and slot outruns the pitch (fix: rep the snap-on-motion landmark daily).
- !Reach blocks lose leverage outside (fix: teach the playside foot to gain width first).
