How to teach it

  • 1Line blocks the jet while the slot runs a slant into the vacated window.
  • 2QB reads the linebacker: hand the jet if he stays, throw the slant if he crashes.
  • 3Slot hits the window behind the read defender.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !Slot rounds the slant — teach a sharp break into the window.
  • !QB pulls when the LB stays — teach the correct read to hand the jet.
