Run or Pass pre-snap reads?
I'm trying to determine the best offensive players to key for specific defensive positions. For example I like my Inside linebackers to read guards. My D-line doesn't really have a specific player to read. My outside linebackers read the ends to determine run or pass. My corners and safeties are who I am having trouble determining their pre-snap keys. I've heard some coaches teach them to watch the QB, some ask them to read uncovered linemen, some read the ends. Cornerbacks as well.
I'm just trying to collect a number of different keys and reads, so if you have your own, or if your team has certain keys/reads, please share. Not just for defensive backs, but any defensive position.
@Steroid Moe Inside Linebacker ALWAYS will read the guards. This isn't for the whole duration of the play, this will simply help direct players in two ways. First, the guards will give you a run/pass read, if it is pass he will drop to the specified coverage, or play man on the back. If it is run, then the guard again helps direct him to the play, if the guard block down, the ILB fills, if the Guard works up for a cut-off block he knows he is backside. If the guard pulls outside he knows it is a sweep or toss play, if the guard pulls inside it can either be a trap, counter, or a sweep play opposite him, this depend on whether the other ILB makes a "pull" call. 2 pull calls = outside run , 1 pull call mean trap or counter run.
