quick release

Question
QUESTION: Whats a quick release, and can you tell me how to read defensive coverages and fronts( whatever fronts are)?
ANSWER: Dear Jordan,
Thank you for writing. Your question is what is a quick release?

A quick release is the time it takes for the quarterback to decide where to throw the ball and throwing it. The same term, is also, used when describing the time it takes a receiver to break away from bump-and-run pass coverage.

How do you read the coverage?

Being able to read a defense is not hard. All you have to do is, do your homework.
A coach, much like the quarterback, must know what type of coverage his opponent is going to run against him. How many zones? What type of man coverage? What type of blitz?

To do this, you must watch game films and ask yourself, what does your opponent like to run on first down?, second down?, third down?, do they play run on the first two downs?..... And so on?br>

Your next question is what are fronts?
The term front is used to describe the number of defensive players on or near the line of scrimmage. This would include all linemen, linebackers, and even defensive backs that are on or near the line of scrimmage.

If you are planning on becoming a quarterback and would like a more detailed explanation on how to read the cornerbacks please let me know.
Your friend, coach Louis
