Ten steps up, then cut across to the right.
B
Blue
Ten steps up, then run deep toward the middle.

Coach card

What to say

Orange sells the fake: arms in, run hard left.
Purple: wait for Orange to pass, then come back behind the QB.
Yellow and Blue: run your routes all the way. Take your defenders with you.

Watch for

Purple comes back too early and runs into Orange.

If it breaks down, say

Orange first, then Purple!

Drill · 5 minutes · Boomerang walk-through

Walk it: Orange runs left, Purple comes back behind the QB. Jog it, then run it. The defense shouts where the ball is; if they say Orange, the fake worked.
