Default dre this is very important...

Please please please do not be fooled by the audible. Have you ever heard a QB call an audible at the line of scrimmage but the play is the same play that was called in the huddle? Good QB's such as Peyton Manning & Tom Brady call audibles just to get a reaction out of the defense. Maybe the defense initially was in a position to make a play on the initial call but the audible allowed the QB to get a reaction out of the defense which created a better opportunity for the play to be successful. This method is used by the great in the DFW league. If you're plugging the middle and I know that you have a tendancy to react to audibles I may call an audible that looks like a designed run play to the left but in actually its a QB sneak up the middle because my audible caused you to react by moving your nose tackle out of the middle. You still have to play honest in this style of play. A better move if you read run would be to move your safety up, if you suspect play action then instead of moving your safety up rotate a linebacker but whatever you do play honest. Aggressive also works but you have to have lots and lots of speed because you will pay defensively for being too aggressive but if you get him to turn the set off fast enough you may still be in position to make a play on a situation in which you gambled.

we can speak all day on this stuff in the DFW! I have lots to share so any of you guys can call me up and we can speak strategy, techniques, rules, whatever you want!
