Do they know who's going to be counter-rooking if they win it?
If worst case scenario, they win it, who is going to be setting the defensive line?

Are you upright?
Because the ball's going to end up on the ground or are you low hunting the ball?
You know, as Pat Lamb used to say, ready to detonate the grenade because that's how important it is.
It's such an important part of the game.

Focusing specifically on the player who's chasing the ball.
Are they going up to try and catch it clean?
Are they going up one-handed to slap it back?
If they're slapping it back, are they slapping it to the right or to the left?
Because that's important and that's going to increase your team's chances of winning it back.
If you're receiving an oncoming kick, are the players around you telling you whether to jump for it or whether to stay down?
