@bucksweep58 Forgive my ignorance, Coach Zach, but could you explain what you mean by this? I'm not familiar with the term, but sounds like I need to be...
High hat/low hat? If that's the term you are asking about, high hat is an offensive lineman looking up in pass protection. Low hat is an indication that the offensive lineman is firing out low for run blocking.
I've never taught it, but have read about it. Can "high hat" be used to read a pull as well?
Game plan? I got your game plan. We gonna run the bawl some. We gonna throw the bawl some. We gonna play some defense. We gonna run some special teams, but we better not run kick return but one time and we sure as heck better not punt.

Yes, sir! Thank you for the clarification.

I think a pulling hat will be moving laterally real fast and will be obvious if you are looking for pulls.
I have tried teaching my LBs to read lineman because that's what was in the defensive manuals I was trying to follow, but have never had great results. I number the eligible from outside in and assign my LBs to key their assigned back/receiver/TE. That seems to work better for me, but I am definitely not a great defensive coach.

It's much better explained here : https://www.xandolabs.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3535:drilling-the-guard-to-near-back-read-progression-for-ilbs
We are teaching our lbs to look at multiple things at once while not focusing on any one thing prior to committing to the decision.
I can explain it to you, I can't understand if for you.
FWIW, if the opponents' helmets have stripes down the middle, the stripes will tell you which way they are going.
In some youth leagues, kids over the weight limit have to have stripes and eligible ball carriers don't. We don't have a wt limit, some of the teams stripe the helmets of all their kids, and once our kids get the idea of the stripes pointing the way, find it easier to read the initial direction of the Offensive players. Some times a single step in the right (or wrong) direction makes the difference.
Umm.... why does that 6 ft tall 9 yr old have a goatee...?

Ya know, that is a very good tell. I have to stay on my o-linemen about that. Kids are prone to looking in the direction they're about to go in.
