The pitch

In CHALK you are the coordinator, not the quarterback. Drag a route off each receiver and it is inked into a named route: OUT, DIG, POST, CORNER, FLAT. The order you draw them is the quarterback's read progression, and he throws to the first one that is actually open.

The defense keeps film on you and keys on a concept you run twice. After each play a coach note says what it saw and offers one counter.

How to play

  1. Drag a route off each receiver. The order you draw them sets the reads.
  2. Tap a receiver instead to make him block. Draw nothing and the snap is a QB keep.
  3. Press SNAP and watch the read display show who the QB is on and why he moved off.
  4. Read the coach note and change your concept, because the defense learns.
  5. On defense, set MAN or ZONE, or drag a defender a blitz path, then SNAP.
