Crucible playbook

# Flag football plays and coverages for quarterbacks

In flag football the quarterback has a few seconds and no pocket to hide in, so the game is won before the snap: see the coverage, know where the ball is going, get it out. These are the coverages flag and 7v7 defenses play, and the plays Crucible trains against them.

Reading It Is the Hard Part
Knowing what a coverage looks like on paper is step one. Crucible puts you at quarterback against it, rep after rep, until the read is automatic.
