The Counter Read allows you to run counter out of a 1 back formation. Also similar to the zone read, you can attach multiple tags to give the defense multiple looks off the same play. Cross up the LB eyes by flaring out the back opposite of the pullers and run the counter with the QB or throw the swing. You can also run it with a H-Back on a pop pass. You are only limited by your imagination.
