Hank allows a coach to give a quarterback clear definitive coaching on the read. If you want to read the open receiver it fits perfectly. If you want to read defenders, that’s even better.

We really like Hank for a flag football play. Today, we are going to take you through the coaching progression for a 7v7 flag football version of the play. We will detail it vs cover 2, vs cover 3 and man coverage.
