We pretty much followed this outline 9caoching pass offense in High school AND College):
Any questions = billmountjoy@yahoo.com
INDY COLTS 2010 (Notes from Tom Moore meeting with Colts QB's). Tom Moore is considered as one of the ALL-TIME GREAT Offensive coordinators (with Super Bowl wins with Steelers AND Colts):
I. READING PROCESS
A. PRE-SNAP:
1. Set the defense (quickly)
B. SCANNING SEQUENCE
1. Corner & W/S = this tandem will indicate any possible weak coverage, blitz, or rotation. The QB will have to pay special attention to this tandem on any weakside pattern that may or may not contain a route contain a route that converts.
NOTE: The Will LB in a reduction defense may indicate the Corner may roll up and play the flat. If the Corner is responsible for the flat, the Will LB is probably rushing. A Hi-Lo stretch on the flat defender would stretch the Corner in this case.
2. W/S & S/S = during the Pre-Snap Read, these two defenders are most affected by any forms of motion or shifting. Any Post-Snap keys that involve either a "Square" read, or "Best Safety to Attack" read will involve the W/S and S/S tandem. The Safeties often tip possible man coverage and blitz.
NOTE: The W/S will be used as a strong or weak indicator during motion due to the fact that they generally make the coverage checks.
3. S/S & Corner = This tandem will indicate any possible strong coverage or rotation. The QB will have to pay special attention to this tandem on any strongside pattern that may or may not contain a route that converts.
NOTE: The Sam LB works in tandem with the S/S in various strongside coverages.
COACHING POINT: The QB must view the Pre-Snap read in terms of these three tandems. It is important to understand that these three tandems are related to the "Buzz" system, and how it works. This will aid the QB in associating possible coverage concepts.
C. RELATIVE POSITIONS relative position refers to basic positions of the secondary people and their ability to cover any of the designated coverage zones in the "Buzz" system. Since the Buzz system is often the most difficult to defeat, knowledge of possible Buzz system help from the deep secondary will greatly enhance the success of the passing game.
NOTE: The alignment of the S/S tells the QB he is probably responsible for the curl area. The S/S is stretched in width and depth creating certain seams in the coverage.
D. COVERAGE TIPS
1. EYES:
a. Eyes that are "glued" to the QB during the cadence generally indicate a form of ZONE coverage
b. Eyes that are "glued" to the receiver, or periodically checks the receiver may indicate a form of MAN coverage.
NOTE: Concentration levels are different in man and zone coverage.
2. FEET:
a. Corners who have a slight stagger in their stance may indicate a 1/3, 1/2, or Man coverage responsibility.
b. Corners who are responsible for the flat area will often have a more balanced or parallel stance.
NOTE: The weight of defenders may be shifted front or back which will give away deep or flat responsibility.
3. SHOULDERS:
a. Corners who are responsible for a 1/3 or 1/4 zone will have their shoulders turned in toward the QB.
b. A Corner who has flat responsibility will often have their shoulders squared to the LOS.
c. The shoulders of the Safeties can indicate possible direction with motion or long cadences. A S/S may tip Man coverage responsibility.
d. Some defenders will tip Man coverage by having their inside shoulder tilted away from the QB.
4. ALIGNMENT (see coverage sheets):
a. Inside
b. Outside
c. Tight
d. Off
NOTE: It can be difficult to judge depth of defenders. However, in certain coverages such as 2-Deep the Safeties must get depth before the ball is snapped.
II. POST-SNAP (KEY PROGRESSIONS)
Coverages can be easily read with a thorough understanding of broad categories of the passing game, knowledge of what the pattern is trying to accomplish ("Concepts"), and proper selection of Key progression aided by repetition.
The QB must be aware of the following in every pattern:
a. Protection
b. Drop
c. Read
d. Keys
e. Progression
KEY PROGRESSIONS = after the ball is snapped, the ability of the QB to read his key or keys will have a great bearing on the success of the pass play. Key progressions are two movement keys who act in tandem that determine the type of coverage the QB will be facing. The key progressions involve secondary personnel and LBers.
The QB's key progressions are the W/S and Corner. The W/S will indicate Man, strong or weak coverage. The Corner will tell the QB who has flat responsibility, the Corner or Will LB.
Two main read "concepts" are:
a. Reading the "Square" (for MOFO/MOFC)
b. "Best Safety to Attack" read ("BLS").
