Nunzio Campanile: When we backpedal, we want to stay in good position, our shoulders over our knees over our toes, we want to reach back, we want to grab ground and we want to pump our arms and then when the quarterback gives us direction, we're going to break down hill, so we're always going to keep our back to the end zone and our eyes downfield. So we'll go and show a couple guys at a time here. So you'll backpedal and then you'll go on me, whichever way I give you. All right, set, go! They all do a very good job of chopping their feet and changing direction and the way they do that is by keeping their body in alignment, shoulders over your knees, over your toes, so they can constantly change direction.
