Beat the Secondary Jam
- Prescription
- 8 × starts · 60 s restabout 8 min
- Players
- 2 minimum
- Equipment
- Blocking bag or shield
The battle doesn’t stop at the line. A second contact comes at four or five yards, from a linebacker or inside help. Get past it without breaking your speed or the route’s timing.
Key points
- The second contact happens while running, not while stopping to fight.
- Anticipate where he's coming from: help almost always comes from the inside.
- Resume the depth of the route immediately afterward; the quarterback’s timing remains the same.
Common mistakes
- Believing you’re free after beating the first defender.
- Taking the second contact head-on while staying upright.
