How to teach it

  • 1Ball is out fast — QB gets north-south immediately.
  • 2F fits downhill on the first linebacker.
  • 3Center's down-block sets the A-gap.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !QB bellying instead of hitting the A-gap now.
  • !F leading into the wrong gap.
  • !Playside linemen getting no movement off the ball.
