The foundation for all of their running back drills begins with stance and starts.

Coach Brooks works stance and starts from quarterback under center, pistol, and from the gun.

He uses cones and line strips in practice drills to simulate the distance from the quarterback that they will be aligned. It provides a visual que as to the landmark they will be seeking.  Examples are inside leg of the tackle or outside leg of the guard

The steps they work are:

Under Center or in Pistol
1) Midline lead
2) Open crossover balance  (mid zone)
3) Lateral drops

Shotgun
4) Open pivot (outside zone)
5) Flat path 3
6) Draw
