The job of the mids is to make fast, well-timed cuts to the disc. They are often at the sideline edge of a swing play, and the cuts they make are how a stack offense gains real ground downfield. Mids need good disc skills, speed, and anticipation. The skilled mid will cut well before they are the target of a pass, while the field is wide open.
What to do when you get the disc: Look for a downfield pass to a Long. If no one downfield is open, look for a swing or a dump, but be alert in case a Long does get open, particularly with a cut down the line away from you.
