1- Answer: you should snap down with your inside foot on a comeback route. If you snap down with your outside foot you are automatically creating more steps for yourself. And NO you CANNOT get out of the route in 2-steps. Anybody who tries that slows down before the route. It is either 3 or less when it’s an actual comeback route. So snap with the inside foot because that can allow you to get out of the break in 3 steps but also it allows you to get your hips turned quicker down the 45 degree angle of the route.


2-Answer: A rocker step is ONLY USED at the top of the route. A lot of people use the word “rocker step” wrong. A rocker step is a double cut at the top of the route. For example you are on the right side and you’re running a post. Normally you just break off of your right foot, but you go left then right at the break to sell the outside. People think that anytime you do a double cut it’s a rocker step. Not true. Off the line it’s considered a double tap or double up. Not a rocker step


3- Answer: Slant and fade route. If you try to use a slide release on like a dig route or a post route, you will lose timing with the QB. It takes way too long.
