Teaching LB's to read guards

In my 43 defense I teach SAM AND WILL gap assignments. I want them looking at gaps. So I move them closer to the back heel of the DE. They step down into their gap practically staring at the Guards. They make the read and attack or back off.

The downside is they don't get much play in the passing game. However, Mike 7 yards off LOS checking the TE/slot/post. His read is more complex, but he is my stud.

You simply set up the 3 on 1 "READ DRILL" everyday where you have the LB lined up on the G.

Coach stands behind LBer & signals G to pull left, pull right, block out on dummy on DT, block down on dummy on CTR. or fire out on LBer:

"READ DRILL" (D = DUMMY)

T-G-C
D---D
---B

---Coach

See if LBer reacts properly. NOTE: To ADD a second read (IE: "ball" or near back) - AFTER teaching the G read - graduate the drill by addong a back 5 yds behind center either WITH a ball (to simulate flow), or to without the ball (to ISO the LBer), etc.
