If you're covering a guy, watch his hips. The hips tell you which way he's going to run/cut.
If chasing someone with the ball, your angle of pursuit is very important. The out-of-bounds sideline is a weapon to be used by both sides of the ball.
If you're running with the ball, keep your feet moving through contact. It looks fun to dance around guys and stuff, but honestly, you do much better just taking the contact and falling forward for some extra yardage: Dancing just gets you in trouble.
If you're blocking someone, two words: GET LOW. You need a lower base than your opponent. It is a game of leverage. Butt down; head up. This is your creed.
If you are passing the ball (highly unlikely), don't be afraid to move around before you throw the ball. Tunnel vision on your receivers could get you in trouble, but if you can keep your cool, often you can get a better gain by running with the ball after pretending to pass.
If you are in a punting/kicking situation NEVER volunteer to run the kick back. It is a very high-pressure task, and they take the hardest hits.
