I found that works pretty well usually...sometimes the RB is not quite so nimble or smart...

Learn to read the screen pass...otherwise you just might end up getting credited with the tackle. Not that I would know that from personal experience. That reminds me, if the play is getting too close to you, don't be afraid to put your arms up and keep the players away from you.

Continually talking to the players and maintaining a presence there is very important and makes working the middle one of the best places to be, IMO of course.

When's the season start?
