Take the drills to the field !!
WR Dig Cut Drill
- The drill focuses on teaching wide receivers how to execute the top of a dig route.
- Coaches should emphasize a stick system that utilizes violent hips to initiate the break.
- Receivers should maintain a consistent vertical look on every route to make all patterns look the same to the defender until the break.
- During the break, the receiver must slam their foot into the ground to gain control and turn quickly out of the cut.
- One variation is the speed turn, which requires the receiver to maintain high speed while ensuring they come out of the break flat.
- To ensure a flat exit on a speed turn, players use a double tap technique, sticking once to sink the hips and a second time to guarantee the correct angle.
