Mtn RPO Swing QB Draw

Watch the flat or overhang defender at the snap, if he stays home on the swing route the QB draw lane should be open behind the zone blocking. Check linebacker depth before the snap, stacked or crashing linebackers signal the defense is selling out against the draw, favoring the swing throw. Man coverage that follows the pre-snap motion receiver tightly usually leaves the flat vacated for an easy pitch and catch on the swing. User controlled defenders spying the QB or sitting in the draw lane are the biggest threat, this take away the draw read and force the quick swing throw. Disciplined zone defenses that keep the underneath defenders squeezed and force the QB to make a decisive pre-snap or post-snap decision can limit both options on this RPO.
