Who does what

  1. QB

    Hike it to yourself, take three steps back. Throw to Blue on the stop. If the defender jumps it, throw over to Orange in the corner.

  2. Y
    Yellow

    Five steps, stop, turn around.

  3. B
    Blue

    Five steps, stop, turn around.

  4. O
    Orange

    Eight steps, then break to the corner.

  5. P
    Purple

    Eight steps, then break to the corner.

Coach card

What to say

  • The stop has to stop on a dime and turn around.
  • The corner runs past the stop, then breaks to the sideline.
  • QB: watch that defender. Up? Throw short. Back? Throw the corner.

Watch for

The corner breaks too early and runs into the other defender.

If it breaks down, say

Eight steps, then corner!

Drill · 5 minutes · Smash pairs

A stop and a corner on one side, a coach as the defender. The coach steps up or back; the QB throws to whoever is left open. Both sides.
