On apre-snapread, the quarterback reads the
best located safet)a By this, we mean the safety
in the worst position to help on the square out.
As he drops, the quarterback reads the side he
has chosen. Ilhe chooses the X-side, he will read
the thrcwing lane thmugh the Willie Backer. If
tbe Willie Backer is in the throwing lane, ho
should look to the halfback.
It is the responsibility ofthe halfback to beat
the inside LB, prcferably on an outside cut. Ifhe
chooses the Z-side, he should rcad the thmwjng
lane throush the flat defender (i.e., stmng saiety
or Sam linebacker). If this defender is in the
thowinslane, the quarterback should look to the
tisht end.Its the tisht end's responsibility to beat
the first insidc LB, again. preferably on the out
side cut. If both lan€s are squeezed, the ball
should be dumped to the fullback.
