Pattern reading… I have no idea what this means exactly! I guess it means being smart and understanding what the passing offense is trying to do to you. But my view is best illustrated through an example:

lets say you are the OLB in a basic cover three. So you have Seam-Curl-Flat responsibilities.

After the snap, the number 2 receiver, let’s say its the TE, right in front of you runs a route to the flats.

Pattern reading says that, you should recognize they are running a flat-curl combination. So when you see the #2 run to the flat, you should retreat to the curl and look up the #1, sort of the opposite of what you would do instinctively: run to the flat with the TE

Jack, my boy, don’t take what I said personally. I simply hate Texas, most especially Mack Brown. Never has a HC been less deserving the praise heaped upon him (…does he even coach?)and never has a team been less deserving a #2 ranking. I’m sure that, if he could, Mack would load his schedule with Sun Belt Conference teams every year but only if B12 officials called the game. Yep, nothing like padding your record with pansies. And, puhleeze, don’t get me started with Colt McCoy. Can’t wait to see his act on Sundays. I can’t believe he’s been compared to Joe Montana. I mean has ever thrown a pass over 20 yards? Let’s see what he does with the tight windows he’ll have to throw into in the NFL.

Much love, bro, and good luck, but like I said: Roll Tide!

Check out Coach Huey’s site for the slide or BOB responses. It is a great resource.

Personally, i really like the “stick” concept. What type of pass protection would most guys run when calling a stick play? Would they tend to slide to the play-side or just go BOB?

Oh Jack PA-LEASE! What are you, like twelve?

Save your fained moral superiority for someone who cares.

Why am I not surprised that an Alabama fan would make a comment like John made above. Take your trash talk somewhere else please.

It’s interested me to see that Texas hasn’t developed a strong rush attack the last couple years. They average 4.09 ypc with Colt as the leading rusher (even taking him and his sacks out only yields 4.59).
