Step by step 13 steps
  1. Step 1

    The play is set up with 2 handlers out of the endzone, and five cutters in, tight to the back of the endzone. It is the back cutter's job to set the depth of the stack, and the front cutter's job to control how far forward the stack comes.

  2. Step 2

    The man second from the back of the stack is the only man who cuts in this play. He makes a cone cut to try and force his defender to cover the open side space right to the edge of the pitch.

  3. Step 3

    If the cutter gets free, the throwers hits them for the score. If the cutter isn't free, they make a second cut to the middle of the endzone, where they re-join the stack. If the cutter gets free the handlers hits them for the score. They rejoin the stack and the stack adjusts.

    At this stage another cutter may have time to cut, and if so the pattern repeats...
