Assignments
Coach it Walk the crossing point before running it at speed. This drawing shows continuous drags; teach and draw any settle-versus-zone adjustment before adding it. No deliberate picks or contact.
Watch for An immediate rusher beating the crossing timing, two receivers running at the same depth, or a defender waiting beyond the crossing point. The flat may be available sooner than the mesh.
