Stunt communicated & picked up cleanly. Anchor leverage prevents inside rip while maintaining apex depth.

Over-Setting on Speed: Drifting past 50° angle opens B-gap inside counter for 3-tech & looping tackles.
Soft Anchor vs Bull Rush: Base width <30 in causes hip collapse into Dak Prescott's passing corridor.
Hand Strike Latency: Late punch (>480ms) allows edge defenders to stab chest plate and convert speed to power.

Slide Pro: Center/Guard slide left; RT Terence Steele on an island vs premier 7/9-tech rusher.
5-Man Empty Set: Zero RB chip assistance; tackle must establish depth within 1.8 seconds.
Play-Action Boot: Aggressive jump set sell before recovering outside perimeter leverage.
