The attacker passes the ball into the defender and then receives it back. As soon as the attacker has received the ball play is then live. The attacker on the cone 5m behind is then allowed to step off the cone and jump back to help defend. It is this player who is most likely going to perform a shave tackle. However, if the passing defender can't stop the line ball then they to may have to perform a shave tackle.
The channel work in this drill focuses on the shave tackle as well as the jab tackle. The shave tackle can't be done very effectively in a tackle box as the defender is face on and not tracking back then make the tackle. Along a channel the attacker has the opportunity to carry along the wing and the defender can then come behind and make the tackle. The jump back is a term used when players are running back from an attacking position to regain possession of the ball from the opposition after a turnover.
