Read end man on line of scrimmage or triangle between QB and WR, etc. Thanks

BALL = best key for deep 1/3 players. To me, it is totally nonsensical for a DEEP 1/3 player to bite on a play fake! That is a problem for the 4 underneath defenders!

If a cover 3 DB bites on a play action, you have now reduced a 3 man secondary to a 2 man secondary to cover a possible 5 receivers out situation! Coach Easton

We have all DB's read the UNCOVERED lineman to their side of the formation. We used to have them read the end man on LOS (TE) but found that the DB's could not really distinguish between a down block and an inside release, or they viewed a pulling guard on a waggle as a run. This situation caused us a ton of problems since we play so many wing-T teams that run waggle.

We tell the DB's that if the uncovered lineman fires across the LOS, the play is a run. If he uncovered lineman does anything else (pull, cross-blocks, retreats) the play is a pass, then react to the run. Many of our kids have learned to distinguish the high/low hat read that many coaches teach, but we start with the aforementioned read. It has worked for us.

I guess we're old-fasioned. We want them to play parallel as long as they can.

Do you take extra OL to give reads during your 7 on 7? Thanks.

We only read thru eligibles to the ball in zone coverage so we can get by with "7 on 7".

During 7 on 7 periods we use either a coach or a player who is not running or defending a route to play the role of the OL to give the pass/run read.

Kind of on the lines of the 7 on 7 period, I want to make sure I'm not nuts for doing this. In an 10 play session for 7 on 7, I will usually mix in 2-3 runs just to keep the guys honest. Does this take away from their pass reps or am I correct in doing this?

I do the same thing. I emphasize the main pass plays for our 7 on 7 (which I am sure everyone does). I then identify their main PA pass plays. I will have wr's line up on the LOS as OL and perform the pass protection (I have it drawn up on a card. I tell the kids either to slide step, kick step (like we do on punt protection), or perform the PA) I will then mix the run play in with the PA. Our kids start to "cheat" the drill and forget about their read steps. I like mixing in the runs to help eliminate this from happening.

The cheating is what I try to avoid by doing this. The problem we have is that we do passing leagues over the summer and the kids start to form their bad habits then. Thanks for letting me know I'm not nuts. At least not in this capacity.

Corners read QB to #2 to #1. QB gives you run/pass key, then read #2 to #1. Some even have their corners buzz their feet thru the 3-step game before pushing out to their deep 1/3's drop. You want them to read #2 to #1 because if #2 goes in, the corner can play over the top on a post by #1, but if #2 goes out, the corner must continue on his 1/3's drop to the top of the numbers.

Free Safety reads the triangle. If pass, find #2 strong first then find #2 weak and apex the two inside receivers. If run, FS will run the alley.
