Soft squeeze ?

Is your fullback's head down when he is running his dive path. When the fullback runs with his head and eyes down, he will have a tendency to clamp down more on the football. Tell him to keep his head up and show the defender his numbers more.

The QB should ride the fullback until the ball reaches the QB's front hip. If the QB is going to pull the ball, he must do so before the ball passes his front hip. Once the ball passes the QB's front hip we tell the FB that it is his.

Two things can be going wrong with the mesh. Either your QB is waiting too long to make a decision. Hence, he is trying to pull the football after he passes his front hip. Or, your FB is clamping down on the football before the ball passes the QB's front hip.

This shouldn't be a hard problem to fix. Once you create your mesh point rules, just be consistant with it and rep it a lot so your QB and FB can get comfortable with one another.

Just a thought!
