14UIntroduce: 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.

How to teach it

  • 1Pulling guard leads to block the contain man so the QB has a clean edge.
  • 2The flood stretches the defense vertically — flat, intermediate, and deep must be spaced.
  • 3QB reels the boot off the flow so the fake pulls the defense the opposite way.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !Pulling guard is late and the contain man hits the QB — emphasize a quick, flat pull.
  • !QB drifts too deep and can't set his feet — teach him to gain width, then square up to throw.
