Spread Wing-T ·The Read Series Attack

The Read Series is the one-back arm of the Spread Wing-T offense, and Rich Hargitt shows how devastating it can be when the quarterback simply reads the backside defensive end and lets the defense decide. Eleven plays are covered, each one available to the tight end side or the split end side, mixing wing-T power and trap with modern zone read rules.

What you'll learn

• The concept behind the Read Series and why the backside read makes it work
• How the quarterback reads the backside defensive end and makes his decision
• The Cross concept that gets the quarterback involved in the run game
• The Gut play and where it fits in the series
• Assignments for the Buck Sweep, Buck Read Cross and Trap plays
• Zone read variations including the G read and the Titan calls
• Base blocking and pulling rules on every play
• Power short yardage plays run to both sides of the field

Who it's for

High school and college offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches. The short yardage and power plays drop into any offensive scheme, so it also suits coaches who only want the read pieces.
