Pre Snap QB Recognition – Joe Moorhead, Head Coach, University of Akron

In this episode of The Give, we have an LFG Clinic session in which Joe Moorhead breaks down quarterback decision-making in the dropback pass game, focusing on the distinction between progression reads and coverage reads in today’s era of defensive disguise.

Key Takeaways:

Pre-Snap Checklist: One-high vs. two-high shell, man or zone eyes, front structure, depth, leverage, tilt, and skew.

Pre-Snap Tips / Post-Snap Confirmation:

Narrow the picture before the snap. Let the defense declare after it.

Progression vs. Coverage Reads: Defined route order within a concept vs. field selection based on post-snap recognition.

Teaching Structure: Create repeatable quarterback language that eliminates guessing and builds clarity.
