Reads:

  1. Your first read is always your B/circle receiver on the drag. He should be open against both man and zone defense
  2. The next read is either tight end over the middle.

Reads:

  1. Your primary read is your B/circle receiver. Make sure to lead pass to the inside when you throw it.

Overview: This play works really well against any man to man press coverage like Cover 2 Man.  I wouldn’t recommend calling this play unless you know your opponent is in man to man defense.
