Step and Replace

Used when the WR attacks the DB vertically & attempts to take DBâ??s leverage away (inside or outside)
While backpedaling the DB step to regain leverage on WR. Step is about 1 foot to the side the WR is threatening. Replace the other foot where the 1st foot left from. *Terminology â?? â??Step, Replace; Step, Replaceâ? It should not take more than 2 steps to recover leverage. If it requires more than 2 steps be prepared to open hips and run. While stepping and replacing the DB must continue to gain ground. The DB must keep his shoulders square to the LOS until their 5 yd cushion is broken. *Coaching Point - If the DBâ??s shoulders are not square to the LOS the DB will widen to much and not gain enough ground; the WR will break his cushion to quickly and the DB will be out of place
