All About Extra Yards for Yards After the Catch

Video Transcript

"VINCENT JAMAL: I'm Vincent on behalf of Expert Village. Now, he's got the ball, he's done everything, he's tucked it away, and he's going to fight for extra yards. He sees that end zone and when Chris comes down, he wants to make sure that when he fights for these extra yards, it's the smartest thing that he can do because if he ends up putting that ball on the carpet, then he's really done no service for himself or his team. So when he's fighting for these extra yards, he's got to make sure that he's got the ball tucked away and secured to his benefit. Now, if Chris comes from this side and he's running, the best thing that he can do is keep it tucked away and secured and really, really, locked down. Get your pads low, drive your knees, and make sure that you're still moving forward as you're advancing for these extra yards. Don't just stand and absorb the hit because you'll go nowhere, you may end up losing yards. Now, if Chris is in a trailing capacity, say, to his left side, BK can now go back to his one arm tuck, and he can try and advance the ball in that fashion, too. So, as long as he's got a secure grip on it and he's running freely, he can run with one arm. But the second that Chris comes and makes that contact, he's going to want to do the smart thing and cover himself up and cover that ball up, maybe find the carpet and not turn the ball over."
