What to change: Running back needs to keep right arm back as well as head up as to not advertise the hand off as well as helping him to better navigate the defense the quarterback should never look back to follow the ball he may look over to scan for defensive players and the quarterback should follow through giving indications that he still had possession of the ball.
Cue: Running back arm position and head position, quarterback head position and follow through.

PES 294, Skill Analysis

Stage: Intermediate

Stage Characteristics: The hand-off is not done correctly. The inside elbow of the receiver is down, when it should be up. The outside elbow is up when it should be down. The arms were parallel, which is correct but the arm placement was wrong. The quarterback put the ball between the receiver's arms correctly and in the pocket he was given to use, but it should have been to the receiver's other side. The receiver did a good job of following the ball with his eyes and of squeezing the ball to keep it from dropping.

What to Change: The receiver needs to have his inside elbow up, and his outside elbow down to create a pocket on the opposite side of his body than the quarterback.

Cue: "Inside elbow up, Outside elbow down"

Handoff

What to Change: Needs to have right arm up when receiving the ball. Keep eyes and head up to see where you want to run.

Cue: make good pocket for QB to put ball in
