Pre-Snap Reads

From the moment the offensive huddle breaks until the ball is snapped, there is anopportunity to gain an enormous amount of information regarding the defensiveintentions. This 8-10 second window involves a whirlwind of activity, and having agood idea what the defense will do pre-snap greatly increases our chances to run asuccessful play. We will begin to teach you what to look for, and what these various

bits of information tell us.

If the quarterback has a clear picture of what the defense is doing before the snap,his decisions will be MUCH easier to make. Also, his training for certain situations willkick insince he's SEEN these things in practice, and can make the rightdecisions. We will train our QB's to go through the following checklist before every

play: he will become confident in that he will be following a certain ROUTINE beforeevery play..much like it's a routine to tie his shoes.

Pre-Snap Checklist

1. Get up to the line and get your hands under center

immediately. (If in gun, 5 yards deep with right foot slightly

forward). Defenses will sometimes move and adjust. But, the

threat of a quick snap will make them get set.

2. As you arrive under center, look for a FS in the deep middle.

If there, this indicates Cover 1 or Cover 3. If 2 safeties deep,

this indicates Cover 2 or Cover 4. If there are no safeties indeep middle, you have Cover 0. Expect a blitz situation.

Pre-Snap Checklist (continued)

3. Look to CBs for zone/man indicators. If CBs have outside

leverage and are looking at you, this is zone. If they have inside

leverage and are looking at the receivers, this is man to man.

4. Make sure all wide receivers are "covered down", with adefender in close proximity. If not, you have an Uncovered

Throw opportunity.

5. If running play, mentally rehearse your steps to the hand-off.

6. If passing play, locate your read player, but don't STARE at him.
