Inside backer reads vs Wing T

I have tried to read the guards in the past, but we are not a guard reading team. We would try to read the guards for one game of the year and we were not good at it.

Then we came up with an epiphany. Read the QB. Which way that he opens up, go opposite. So his butt basically points the way, which is what we tell the kids. We are a 4-4 team and been pretty successful. The only play that this doesn't work against, (The team that we play) is the counter, which the MLB's are listening for.

So check out what the teams run that you are playing and see if this would work for your situation.

Those are great responses. Never even thought about reading the QB. Thanks for the info and keep them coming.

Read the guards. You read the Tackle over the guard so its an easy read.

DT's Guard pulls read back to the FB and feel for the Tackle.

Sucker trap isn't a sucker trap if you know how to read it.

Guard pulls and the Tackle blocks down = Buck Sweep, Power
Guard pulls and the tackle doesn't block down = Sucker FB Trap

3 technique has a visual key and a pressure key. It will tell him what to do.

If the guard pulls out and the tackle doesn't block back on him, redirect back to the FB and wrong arm blow up the trap

Same with the backers. Read guards/T to FB. Guard pulls and T blocks back, scrape to D.
Guard pulls and T does not block back its FB Sucker.
