Step by step 15 steps
  1. Step 1

    Horizontal set-up. Note that outside cutters are wide to give space to the active cutters in the middle.

  2. Step 2

    Cutting pattern. Slash break, cut deep, cut under open. Ideally, we hit the break throw.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  3. Step 3

    Break throw made. Continuation cuts: Outside cutter 7 can cut out and under on the open side. Cutter 6 can cut break.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  4. Step 4

    Continuation option to cutter 7. Cutter 4 and 6 are patient and move with the play.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  5. Step 5

    Option for cutter 6 to go deep (even if 7 is not a great hucker, we need to be stretching the field so the defense is playing honest). Cutters 4 and 5 are advancing up the field, staying wide to give reset space to the handlers (they are still always viable options).

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  6. Step 6

    Handlers are setting up to make handler cuts for a reset. Handler 7 can engage handler 2 or 3. Cutter 6 should be cutting under to leave the deep space open.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  7. Step 7

    Handler reset.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  8. Step 8

    Cutter 7 should watch what cutters 5 and 6 are doing and leave space for them while clearing. Inactive handlers are getting in position.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  9. Step 9

    Cutter 5 can strike deep here.

  10. Step 10

    Cutter 5 can become active in the middle by calling themself in or by cutter 7 calling them in (maybe cutter 7 is tired). Cutter 5 does the cutting pattern with cutter 6. Cutter 7 clears wide.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  11. Step 11

    Cutters move up field. 7 strikes deep. Cutter 6 cuts out for the under. Cutter 4 can stay wide or make a break cut.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  12. Step 12

    Cutter 6 comes under and gets ready to cut break. Cutter 7 comes under from their deep cut. Cutter 4 clears break (viable option). Handlers get into position.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  13. Step 13

    Reset up-line to handler. Cutter 4 recognizes this a a good deep option. Cutters 6 and 7 begin cutting pattern.

    1234567D1D2D3D4D5D6D7
  14. Step 14

    Deep throw to cutter 4. If this option wasn't viable, then we would set-up in our endzone stack.
