Full drill
Sometimes players have a habit of running parallel to the line of scrimmage and not forward for yards. This is one of the [tag]football coaching drills[/tag] used to teach the players to cut up field. 
What you need – The running back should be behind the QB in his normal position and the WR’s should be lined up in their spot as well.
How this drill works – Upon the snap, the QB will execute either a running play or a passing play. In this [tag]drill[/tag], the object is for the player carrying the ball to turn and square up to the line of scrimmage so they can drive the ball forward, rather than run parallel to the LOS. You can add a few defensive players in here to make the [tag]football[/tag] drill more interesting.
Result – Your players will start to develop the habit of running up field, rather than juking a jiving sideways all of the time.
