In short
On a football board every step is a snap. Count the safeties with a coverage zone and draw the run: two high means six in the box. Add the next step and the defense answers, one safety comes down, eight in the box, so you draw the play action and the shot behind it. Press record and explain the plan as it plays; the recording goes to the export stage, landscape for the film room or portrait for Reels. iPhone and iPad.
Step by step
Every step is a snap
On the play board, every step on the left is a new snap. First, mark the two safeties with a coverage zone, then draw the run: two high means six in the box, and the run is on.
On screen: Steps on the left: each one is a snap. Count the safeties, then draw the run.
Draw the answer
Then add the next step, and the defense answers. One safety comes down, eight in the box, so you draw the play action and the shot to the receiver behind it.
On screen: Add a step and the defense answers. One high, eight in the box: draw the shot.
Record and share
Press record and explain the plan as it plays. The recording goes straight to the export stage, landscape for the film room or portrait for Reels, drawn again for each size.
On screen: Record → the export stage. Landscape for the film room, portrait for Reels.
