The Falcons signal caller got on his soap box.
In its simplest terms, there are essentially two ways a signal-caller can attack an opposing defense. The first is a pre-snap dissection of coverage—accomplished mainly by identifying where the safeties are aligned—and the other is what’s called a pure progression read, which involves working through your options post-snap, based on the route concept, to find an open receiver.
Teams across the league use both concepts—some more than others, and vice versa—and lately, a debate over which approach is better for the quarterback has surfaced. Kirk Cousins, now 37 years old and amid his 14th NFL season, has done both throughout his career, and recently delivered a masterclass on the pros and cons of each from the QB's perspective.Mike Kadlick is a contributor to the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
