Today’s youth football drill is running the Ladder Drill for Running Backs. If you are like me, I’ve got a lot of backs who, for whatever reason, when they break through the hole they decide to cut back to the inside -- right into the heart of the defense.

Sometimes that works out for them, especially if it’s an aggressive overpursuing defense. But I see so many backs cut right back into the Mike linebacker, or other inside linebackers, and the nine defensive guys that are the heart of the Defense.  

I don’t know how many touchdowns we have missed due to these cutback errors.
