Step 1

This is Pitt's junk look against us most of the time.

Step 2

To beat it, we need to swing the disc immediately to one side rather than force it up the middle. Activate the wing cutter to come underneath. middle cutter goes deep to engage deep defender, but is prepping to come back in because it is not 6's job to guard him.

Step 3

Now the 4 defender has a choice. Does he take away the continue by sliding over to stop the around, thus leaving the inside throw open? Or does he let the sideline "trap" continue?

Step 4

The answer is who gives a fuck? Either we get it 5 in time.

Step 5

OR (rewind) .... he overcommits to force inside.

Step 6

And our middle cutter capitalizes. Now we're in the middle of the field, not trapped, and we have a brief opportunity for a 3-on-2 fast break. Bear in mind the deeps' jobs are to stop the deep throws.

Step 7

So NOW we gain yards through the middle. We have to stop forcing it because we get impatient.

Step 8

There is a time to throw through the middle and there is a time to throw around. You gotta break a junk look before you can throw through the middle. Not using your arounds to break a zone is beyond cocky; it's stupid and especially difficult.
