1. Start 15-20 yards behind the LOS or deepest than the deepest defender. This also may modify if you are inside the 15 and the goal line is threatened, but use this mechanic as a starting point.

2. Your first steps should always be backwards (anywhere in the middle of the field).

3. Do not get beat deep.

4. You have the inside receivers as your "key." Usually the Tackles will tell you exactly what the play is going to be.

5. Do not call a TD when the ball is near the sideline without some help or signal from your partner on the wing.

6. You might not make a lot of calls, but your calls are some of the biggest calls in the game.

7. Stay focused.

8. You should be at the goal line before the runner gets there.

9. You are mostly responsible for the 25 second count. Do not nit-pick the count. Be as deliberate as possible.

10. You count the 45 second clock during timeouts.

These are not in order, just some nuggets to think about when you work the BJ position. I am also assuming you are talking about 5 man mechanics. Things might change if you work 7.
