4 · Slant Flat
The quick pass. The slant beats a defender playing outside. First look: Yellow, then Orange.
Who does what
- QB
Hike it to yourself, take three steps back. Throw to Yellow on the cut. Or Orange in the flat.
- YYellow
3 steps up, then cut hard to the middle.
- BBlue
Run straight deep.

Coach card
What to say
- Yellow: three hard steps, then cut to the middle like a lightning bolt.
- Orange: run flat and look for the ball right away.
- QB: throw at Yellow's chest the moment they cut.
Watch for
The slant rounds off and drifts up the field instead of across.
If it breaks down, say
Three steps, then cut across, not up!
