Crossing-Ends Drill
Set Up:
You will need 2 receivers, one safety, QB, and center. Line up the ends in a two tight end set, and let one go eight yards and post inside, while the other posts at six yards.
Procedure:
1.
Set up a two tight-end set with the center and quarterback, a safety, and two receivers.
2.Place the safety in normal position 10-12 yards deep.
3.Have the receivers run crossing patterns around 6-8 yards before they break.
4.Give the quarterback a certain time to throw the ball, so the safety can react to both receivers.
5.The safety must give ground and watch the quarterback.
Coaching Points:
Have the safety while making his 3 step drop key both receives, as well as the quarterbacks eyes.
Objective:
After practicing this drill the safety will be better prepared to cover crossing ends and reading the passer.
