From Jim…
Here’s our flag football drill.
Since its flag football, our league is made up for 5 players. The defense must rush from ten yards back after the snap.
Anyway, I line up a wr far right, the other four guys are tightly together with a running back that stands next to the qb. After the ball is snapped the four guys stand without moving but the wr takes off. The four guys yell out his name like it a muffed play. The wr pauses in mid field then runs off again. Let me tell you, the defense was completely frozen, no one moved, even the defendender that was covering the wr stopped dead in his tracks since the rest of his football team wasn’t moving. Peer pressure I guess!
The next football play do the same play, exactly, draw as much attention to wr verbally, the qb hands off to the rb running in opposite direction of wr. The rb has an open field as we have all the defense looking at our wr on the other side of the field.
This was so effective, the ref blew the whistle thinking that the play was dead. After speaking with the ref on the sidelines, we ran it again for a touchdown. We ran it many times the same game for long yards.
