📋 Player Roles
| QB ⭐ | Take the snap, pump fake toward the RIGHT side to freeze the defense — then immediately pitch left to the Run Back sweeping wide |

| Left Slot (LS) | Sprint straight upfield — pull your defender away from the left edge where the Run Back is going |
| Right Slot (RS) | Sprint upfield toward the right — make the defense think the play is coming your way after the fake |
