Take a width step and then press
the 6 (7) hole at the Tight-ends
inside leg.
You get one cut only and then push
the ball vertically.
You have two reads; the point of
attack and a secondary read in
certain cases
Your 1st read is the 1st down
lineman from the outside in.
Linebackers are not down linemen.
You go to your second read if your
1st read goes outside your blocker.
Take a width step and then press
the 2 (3) hole at the Guards
outside leg.
You get one cut only and then push
the ball vertically or roll it back.
You have two reads; the point of
attack and a secondary read.
Your 1st read is the 1st down
lineman outside the Center
Defenders shading the Center are
not your read.
If your read doesnt move or goes
outside, go behind him.
The angle is sometimes tough for
the RB, but he has to press the hole
in a hurry so the backside doesnt
make the tackle.
The QB is now accounting for the
backside end by reading him. If the
ends shoulders are perpendicular to
the LOS, the QB keeps the football.
The ability of the QB can determine
whether he (QB) can take chances
running the football even if the end
doesnt fully commit to chasing
down the RB.
