Слайд 9Quarterback Pre-snap
Always get to the line quickly with your hands
under center.
If the defense is going to shift, they will
do it after you get under center.
Look for the safeties.
Is there anyone in the middle of the field?
Look for the best side to read.
Number of defenders vs. Number of receivers.
Слайд 10Quarterback Pre-snap
Look at the defender’s leverage.
Leverage refers to the defender’s
relationship to the receiver, or the area of the field
the defender must cover.
Know where all the routes are going to be run.
Look for possible blitzes.
Know where your hot routes are.
At his point the QB will have a pretty good idea of where he is going to go with the ball – this is extremely important.
Слайд 11During The Dropback
Realize you are making the final decision on
where to go with the ball on your way back
-- not at the end of your drop.
If you haven’t made a decision by the time you get to the end of your drop, go to the contingency plan right away.
With the exception of a quick 3-step drop, take two shuffle-steps up in the pocket max, before going to the contingency plan.
For example; you’ve made a decision on where to go with the ball and you’re waiting for the receiver to break away from the defender.
Слайд 12#1 The Slant Read
Key flat defender.
OLB, Strong Safety or CB.
Throw
away from the flat defender.
If he covers the slant, hit
the flat / swing route.
If he goes flat, hit the slant.
Слайд 13The Slant Drop
The Quarterback’s specific drop is dependant on the
flat defender’s leverage.
If the flat defender is close to the
LOS (Pro 4 – 3) , the drop will be deeper (three-big) so the QB can throw behind him.
If the flat defender is way off the LOS (College 4 – 3) , the drop will be shallower (three-quick) so the QB can throw in front of him.
Слайд 15#2 The Stick Read
Key the strong safety or defender
who will cover that area.
Check pre-snap leverage.
Look for the flat,
then the stick.
Many times looking at the flat route first will open up the stick route.
Vs cover 2, look to the strong-side fade first.
Слайд 18#3 The Inside - Sideline Read
Key the strong safety or
defender who will cover that area.
Check pre-snap leverage.
Look for the
swing, then the sideline.
Many times looking at the swing route first will open up the sideline route.
Слайд 20#4 The Curl Read
Key flat defender.
OLB, Strong Safety or CB.
Throw
away from the flat defender.
If he goes flat, hit the
curl.
If he drops to curl, hit the flat / swing route.
Слайд 22#5 The Sideline Read
Vs cover 2, the sideline will automatically
turn into a fade route.
Check corner and safety alignment.
Check OLB
/ Strong Safety alignment.
Key flat defender.
OLB, Strong Safety or CB.
If the flat defender can get underneath the the route, throw to the stop or seam.
Слайд 24#6 The Dig Read
Key the underneath coverage.
While dropping back, take
a look at what the linebackers are doing.
If they drop,
hit the drag.
If they jump or wall the drag, go for the dig.
Vs. Quarters coverage, the drag usually becomes the safest throw.
Слайд 27#7 The Double Square-in Read
Key outside linebacker to the strong
safety.
If LB takes medium square-in route and SS takes flat
area, hit the deep square-in.
If either LB or SS takes away the deep square-in, throw to the area they vacate.
Слайд 30#8 The Deep Out Read
Great route vs. cover 2
The flat
route will hold the corner.
If the corner runs with the
WR, hit the flat route right away.
If the corner comes off the WR, continue your drop and hit the WR on the Deep Out.
Слайд 33#9 The Deep Reads
This is a timing pass.
Realize that deep
passes are not high percentage completions.
Get a good idea where
you have the best chance to go with the ball on your pre-snap read.
If you are not sure where to go deep with the ball on your third step (of a 5-step drop), let the ball go to an underneath receiver.

The inside seams are the first

Hit the seams as they pass by the linebackers at
about 15 yards.
Look the safety off with a good look at the Wide Receivers as you drop.
Throw away from safety coverage.

Слайд 37Incorporating More Complex
QB Reads
Once the QB is aware of
the fundamentals of reading zones, the basic reads can now
be incorporated into almost any number of more complex reads.
Слайд 38As an example, a typical pattern breakdown will go something
like this:
1.) This pattern has two different types of basic
reads built into it -- The Deep Read, and the Dig Read.
Слайд 39We will isolate and teach the Dig Read first. He
will stick to this read versus a typical cover four
(in most cases). The progression of the pattern is based on which receiver will break open first, followed by which receiver will be open second, and so on. It should be noted that in many offenses, the pattern that is designed to open up first is the “bait” route.
Слайд 40If the QB sees cover three with the right leverage,
he will be alert for the two deep routes. He
will look off the safety, and make the appropriate deep throw quickly. If in the first three steps of his drop, he doesn’t like what he sees, he will go immediately to his Dig Read – then to his outlet or contingency plan if time permits.
Слайд 41Eventually, the QB will know where all five of his
receivers will be as he approaches the LOS, and according
to his PSR, will make the appropriate read. This type of teaching progression assures that the QB has every opportunity to be successful within the offensive system.

Leverage Reads
Where is the blitz coming from?
Identify your
hot route(s).
What are the receiver routes?
Think about possible safety help.
What
are the individual match-ups?
Does a particular receiver have an advantage against his defender?
Which receiver has leverage on his defender?
Which defender is in a bad position to cover the called route?
