Quarterback Progressions

Obj: CB and 6 distribution decision-trees — the deep-position passing session where the build's brains train their menu (10.2/10.4 masterclass staple). Field: Half-field, full width; build zone + three outlet tiers (fullback wide, pivot middle, target high). Equip: Balls, cones, mannequins/live pressers, bibs. Org: The "quarterback" (CB or 6, rotating) receives from a server under staged pressure and works the progression tree: Read 1 — pivot between lines (best, 3 pts); Read 2 — fullback's forward foot (2 pts); Read 3 — clipped ball to the high target's chest zone (2 pts); Read 0 — recycle to the server and re-set (1 pt, always legal, never shameful). Pressure escalates by round: mannequins → one live presser curving (cover shadow real) → two pressers (trap picture). The presser's angle closes certain reads — the QB must find what's actually open, not run the list in order. CP: (1) Scan before receiving: know reads 1–3's status pre-touch; (2) the first touch buys the read time — across the body, away from the press arc; (3) when the trap comes, Read 0 early beats Read 3 forced — then break the re-set pressure with the next look (composure chains). Prog: Full back-four + GK shape (D-05 bridge); opponent-press mirror (E-30/D-23 scout integration); disguise requirements on Read 1. Reg: No pressure, tree called aloud; two reads only. Mist: P: pre-deciding the pass before scanning (the presser's angle exists to punish this); C: shaming Read 0 (the model's courage includes the wisdom to go again — 2.2.6). Time: 16 min. Out: Distribution menus per deep player logged; press-resistant sequencing (scan-touch-read-release) automatic. Var: GK-as-QB version (I-08's sibling — the +1 runs the same tree). Diag: Half-field with QB in build zone, three tiered outlet arrows (pivot central, fullback wide, target high), presser's curved arc shadowing Read 1, recycle arrow back to server.
