Wall the crosser

What it is
Getting into the path of a crossing route to break its timing before passing it on.
Why it matters
A crosser that runs clean through two zones is a completion; one that has to go around a defender's body arrives late and covered. Walling is not covering — the defender re-routes and stays in his area, which is what makes it possible without abandoning the zone. It is the single technique that keeps mesh and shallow concepts honest against zone.
Also called
Programs call this wall, collision the crosser or re-route. The Coach answers to any of them.
