Make your first move on the snap laterally for about three to five yards. This keeps your body facing the play and if the runner is stopped for a short gain you have a perfect view of the spot.
Don't try to outrun the players, even if you can. Try this at home. Walk a straight line, turning your head over your shoulder. Try to speed up. Kinda awkward!
On sweeps or anytime the point of attack move toward you, back off and let the play lead you. Keep about 5 to 10 yards behind the play to get a full view.
