I usually just give an example and then let them do whatever is comfortable with their feet, as long as they can get off the ball. I have a couple guys who just look awkward. What do you guys teach?

i teach/use:

inside foot up ALWAYS

slight split maybe 12-18 inches between hell of front foot and toes of back foot.

toes pointing upfield although i personally like to have my front foot at a very slight angle across my body

slight bend in both knees

arms protecting chest if the DB is in press otherwise however is comfortable

back flat with slight bend at the waist to give a forward lean

Head up with eyes checking coverage/blitz/press

That is pretty much exactly how I think it should be done. However, I like them to have their upper body at about a 45 degree angle with the ground so they can get off the ball. If I see a kid drop down on the snap of the ball, I think they should be bent more at the hip. Maybe I'm going too far with this and that's why some guys have some awkwardness?

Really emphasize STAYING LOW WHEN COMING OUT OF THE STANCE ON THE SNAP. WORK THEM INCESSANTLY ON GETTING OFF THE JAM, THE HARDEST THING YOU CAN TEACH A RECEIVER. Coach Easton

I think a big one is hands/arms comfortable. We do not face a lot of press teams. When the hands are up I think it makes the WR uncomfortable and the first thing they do is drop the hands. If they can get off the ball I do not worry about it being perfect.
