Pitch Read Help

We tell our QB to attack the inside shoulder, and read the outside shoulder. If the outside shoulder turns into you pitch the ball. As long as the shoulder stays out you run.

YO DEAC,

Always taught the Qb to read the inside shoulder of the readman and if he did anything but step into the hole and take the dive backs path away, GIVE IT. On the pitch read, if the read man IN THE PSL, has
aligned himself in a 4i tech (verses a 50 front in this example) it then becomes an AUTOMATIC PITCH with no more reading necessary. (iSV) If he reads pitch, the pitch man should always maintain a one yd deep and 5 yds wide relationship with his QB on the high school level. I see your point of having the contain guy outflanked by the pitch back, but always considered it distracting to have the QB take his eye off the pitch read to check the back's progress until he was ready to make the pitch. Never allowed him to pitch blind, Jamel Holloway from Oklohoma was the only guy I ever saw who could do that consistently. I junked the ride and decide 20 years ago and have utilized nothing but the point method ever since. With the QB's head always pointed directly at the read man, along with the rest of his body all pointing in the same direction and not having to reach back to the dive back which to me was always uncomfortable and unnatural, it is much easier for the QB to maintain his downhill angle of attack than coming down the line parallel which only invites penetration and then recovering by the QB who is now AWAY from his read and thus facing the nemisis of any option QB, the fuzzy read! Just my opinion as always. Your thoughts?

Right on..never pitch blind...we always wanted the pitch back to be running fast..maintaing pitch relationship..no matter where the QB goes. to many backs idle down and have to regroup after the pitch..so therefore we liked him to be out in front of the QB's peripheral vision.

Sorry...just read the post below (speed option >pitch) that had a reply for the post pitch play of qb.
