as the reset #2 handler, you want to engage the defender (aka close the gap between yall). As a defender, you want to maintain a buffer (distance) between you guys.
OFFENCE: drive the defender up the line to set up an easy dump cut. DEFENCE: maintain a buffer between you and the handler. Make sure you do not allow them to take the inside step on you (inside: the space between you and the thrower)
OFFENCE: run a similar, wide angle back to make sure youre not too close to the thrower. This makes it easier for them to throw to you. DEFENCE: mission accomplished, you didnt get beat up the line. Now follow and put pressure on the Handler, but keep your buffer and dont overcommit, allowing the handler to scoop you back up the line!
#3 handler, threaten to cut to the open side and drive the defender out, and then come back to complete the swing and gain yards b/c you been creeping up the field
A1 DUMP AND SWING COMPLETE
