How a round works
Section titled “How a round works”A card (or cards) is dealt alongside a defense card. You answer “does this work?” against the shown coverage, as quickly and accurately as you can. You get feedback on every card, then the next one comes up. Cards are drawn at random.
The four levels
Section titled “The four levels”| Level | What’s shown | You answer |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Single route vs defense | Yes / No / Quick |
| 2 | Single route vs defense + situation | Yes / No / Quick / Audible |
| 3 | Full play (3 routes) vs defense | Which route(s) work (+ Quick) |
| 4 | Full play vs defense + situation | Which route(s) work / Audible |
The answers
Section titled “The answers”| Answer | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Yes | The route beats this coverage. |
| No | It’s covered. |
| Quick | It works, but it’s Cover 0 or Cover 1. Always answer Quick against Cover 0/1: it’s a closed coverage and the QB is getting rushed. |
| Audible | (Levels 2 and 4) The route works against the coverage, but it’s the wrong call for the situation. |
The situation card (Levels 2 and 4)
Section titled “The situation card (Levels 2 and 4)”Situation cards show down and distance and yard line:
- Ahead of the sticks (e.g. 1st-&-5, 2nd-&-1): green light. Be aggressive, and most working routes are fine.
- Behind the sticks: be smart and play to pick up the first down.
- The baseline goal is to pick up about half the distance (4–6 yards). If a route’s depth can’t reach the goal, Audible.
- Situation cards are color-coded: blue = conservative, red = aggressive.
