Question. When you say:

quote:

By pre-determined progression I am referring to they look at routes in a pre-set progression (most do this).


Are you saying that the QB has a first read, second read, third read, etc. regardless of the defense?

Whereas:

quote:

what we are doing now is the order of progression is set by pre-snap reads by Burrow. It necessarily leverages defensive alignment.


Meaning Brady has Burrow going 1,2, 3, 4 v. man, and then 2, 3, 1, 4 v. Cover 2 and then 2, 1, 4, 3 v. Cover 3, etc.?

yep, pretty much what I'm getting at.

It might not be by WR position, it could be by zones (read deep first to short), by order of break regardless of receiver, middle to sideline (or vice versa), etc.

It allows, more accurately- assists, Burrow in moving defenders around. His first look in progression might not be to make a pass but push a LB back, which the next in progression is a receiver coming into that manufactured void.
