Pre-Snap Checklist 1. Get up to the line and get your hands under center immediately. (If in gun, 5 yards deep with right foot slightly forward). Defenses will sometimes move and adjust. But, the threat of a quick snap will make them get set. 2. As you arrive under center, look for a FS in the deep middle. If there, this indicates Cover 1 or Cover 3. If 2 safeties deep, this indicates Cover 2 or Cover 4. If there are no safeties in deep middle, you have Cover 0. Expect a blitz situation.
Pre-Snap Checklist (continued) 3. Look to CBs for zone/man indicators. If CBs have outside leverage and are looking at you, this is zone. If they have inside leverage and are looking at the receivers, this is man to man. 4. Make sure all wide receivers are "covered down", with a defender in close proximity. If not, you have an Uncovered Throw opportunity. 5. If running play, mentally rehearse your steps to the hand-off. 6. If passing play, locate your read player, but don't STARE at him.
