Interesting FTG. Your notes are from an offensive perspective regarding blocking of linebackers by perhaps a TE or RB. They seem to about protecting the QB during a blitz.

<LI class=tip>Watching the first two steps that the linebacker takes should be enough. If he takes two steps forward at the snap, figure he's coming and stay in to block him. If he takes two steps backward at the snap, figure he's dropping into coverage and take off on your route.

It does seem that the defense is set before the play to determine if they are dropping into coverage or rushing.
Have you ever played defense FTG?
Thanks for posting this. I have only played a little flag football and I think the only decisions we made on defense was who was going in for a blitz and the rest of us were just playing man on man. There are so many things about football that I don't understand and I probably sound like an idiot half the time and I don't even know it.
Hopefully our expert is still around and he can give us some explanations from the defensive perspective regarding pass rushing.
