Wing Back Basics

• Wing Backs go in motion one snap count ahead of
  the snap
• Our snap count is GO, SET, HIT, HIT
• If play is on HIT, motion begins on SET
• Wing stance is outside foot forward, hands on
  thigh pads
• Pivot on inside foot, crossover with outside foot
  and sprint to QBs hip for mesh

QB Basics

• Must time the cadence perfectly with the snap
• Secure the football and jab step forward with the
  foot opposite the motion
• Pivot on the jab foot and open to the Wing
