Question about the "Read" command

Post by Yngvai »

When you give a defensive linebacker or DB the "read" command, and it's a run, the person will play the run. If it's a pass, they drop into zone coverage. Do you have to draw the zone they drop into, or is it a predetermined zone? Or do they just read the QB until he throws the ball?

The defender will drop back a bit deeper, but he's still watching the QB until the ball is passed. He's not playing zone. 
 
thanks

... and after the ball is passed?

So "Read" would be the ideal command for a Jack Linebacker in Indoor Football?

I'd say yes.

If the Maximum Football league required a Jack back with a Read command, it would be easy to make sure all defensive plays are legal.

That is what I have done with updated indoor playbooks.
