Is it a PASS play or is it a RUN play?... THAT IS A QUESTION!

okay,... so I am not as noobish as my previous posts however, I do have another question,...

Is there any possible way to get a read on if the offense is running a pass or run play? also, is there a way to tell if the run is going left or right?

any tips or strategies on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

well i can tell by the PB they run, just because i know the PB and plays lol, Example pats PB was everyone's first choice most likely when they started, so i can tell when they use pats pb

Unless the player allows him/herself to become that predictable, then I have to say no on all accounts. One particular Titans formation I've become very fond of(Weak-Double TE). After yesterday, I have 6 solid plays I can run out of that alone. I also mix it up by sending WRs, RBs, and TEs in motion.

Pre-snap:
You can't accurately tell if the opponent is running or passing. However, if you see gun, there's 90% chances that the guy's passing.

Post-snap:
Really easy to tell. Just watch the OL. If they stay neatly aligned and form a pocket, it's a pass (even on PA). If they mess around and go forward, it's a run. Oh and, if you see a double team, it's 99% sure it's a run.

Double team? like 2 receivers on one side? Im a little confused as to what you mean.

Double team.....two offensive linemen blocking one defensive linemen.

Just watch the Lineman. Its sooooo easy. If lineman stand straight up (even on PA) its a pass, if they push up and/or you see a pulling G/T. then its a run. I cant really tell on the pre-snap unless its gun. Then its prolly a pass.

If you think it's a run, bring an extra defender to the strong side (fullback or TE side)

right on. appreciate the advice.

Should I always assume that the run is going to the strong side? I mean, obviously it does not always go that way, but is it more safe to assume it will than not?

Like in real life. Watch the guards. If they fire out its a run. If they stand up its a pass.
