[QUOTE="ilovetheoption, post: 834757, member: 1414"] [FONT=Calibri]Because we're running split zone, we're not reading the backside end, H his blocking him. Instead, the QB is reading Sam. If Sam steps up hard to stop the run, the QB pulls and throws the little glance route. If Sam respects the pass, and stays back, the QB just hands the ball off and we like our numbers in the run game. What's important to remember is that this is not really an option play to anybody but the QB (maybe the RB). To Z, this is just a pass play. He's going to run his route, and see if the ball gets passed to him. He's not looking to block, he's justlooking to run to a spot 1 yard behind the edge defender (Sam in this instance) and look for the ball. To the OL, this is just a running play. They're going to block it as if it's the running play either way, and if the ball gets thrown, well fine, but that's not their problem. They're blocking for the back. Only the QB is reading that guy and pulling and passing if he makes a clear window. If the QB isn't sure, it's a give read, because the running play might work anyhow. You give unless you have an OBVIOUS window, and then you quickly hit a shifty slot receiver in stride and let him wreak havoc in the secondary. As this is called "what GT does" and not "some random schemes", enjoy the following. [MEDIA=youtube]FpWKEsFbvYE:353[/MEDIA] This ends up being a handoff read, but this is the play. You see #18 run his route, and not turn to block until he sees the handoff has been made. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
