2) The ND defender gets a running start and once he crosses the line that denots a 15 yard gap between he and the ball carrier the ballcarrier takes off.
3) Catch the ballcarrier and get him to the ground if possible. If not run all the way to the endzone with the ball carrier and practice your "I thought you had him" body language so eveyone on TV thinks it was a blown assignment instead of just getting your doors blown off.
4) Repeat

Why would they continue to drill on something that they have already perfected? |
