Coach card

What to say

  • Yellow: sprint like it is a deep route, then stop and turn to the QB.
  • Come back to the ball. Never wait for it.
  • Blue: run deep to pull the defense away.

Watch for

Yellow stops and waits, and the defender jumps in front of the throw.

If it breaks down, say

Stop, then come back to the ball!
