Ring of Fire, USA Nationals 2014 (1)
Keeping the disc moving is one of the best ways to beat a poach. Ring swing the disc to the far sideline, hit two poached cutters, swing the disc back then throw deep into undefended space to defeat an uncoordinated Chain Lightning defence

Poaching
Ring of Fire, USA Nationals 2014 (2)
After running a Moses to get the disc moving, Ring swing the disc, then move the disc laterally back to the open side before hitting a deep cut. Moving the disc laterally makes it more difficult for defenders to adopt an optimal position, giving the offence an advantage.
