Waggle Left (Boot Pass)

Quarterback fakes the buck sweep and boots left into a three-level flood.

Concept: Backside guard pulls to protect the edge while receivers run corner, flat, and drag.

14U — Introduce: Learn the footwork and the primary read; protect first, then complete the easy throw. Add the pulling guard(s) leading through the hole. Add the fake/mesh — and a counter off the very same look. Add the play-action throw off this run action. Run it fast both directions and check into it by defensive look.
