gun zone read/ QB footwork

Have your QB "Near Foot, Near Foot" to the hole.

This is probably the best offensive concept ive learned in the last year and its so simple.

when the QB receives the snap have him take two 6 inch steps in the direction of the hole the zone is being run to, the foot work is step replace step replace.

On the second replace step the QB needs to have made his decision, if he is not going to give the ball he turns the nose of the ball up telling the RB not to clamp down.

The advantage of this is many:

1. If its a high or low snap the footwork takes the ball to the hole so you can recover and still read.

2. The read is now longer so the read key has to really show his intentions, this footwork because it takes longer also gives the apperance of a give alot of the time, the read key will sometimes get ancy and go for the mesh.

3. It allows the defenses stunt to sort itself out. Alot of teams try and ppinch the emol down and scrape the backer, this gives the QB time to sort it out.

You will see tebow use this footwork on midline which is also a great play do this technique on out of the gun.
