I was reading an article about a QBs pre-snap reads and the author referred to reading the triangle a couple of times without explaining what the triangle is or what it does?
I've seen cut-ups in which it appears that 3 defenders are covering 2 wide outs and assume that that is what is meant by the triangle in this article, but I don't know how it functions.
I'm hoping that those of who do wouldn't mind sharing that knowledge. Thanks in advance

I have no clue if this is what the article was referring to and I am a very new DC, but in our D we use the term "triangle" to help our LBers. We are a 3-4 and our ILB key the Bgap. if the bgap pulls away from you then step in the triangle for the cutback. It is from our NG butt back 4 yds and back to the bgap. I dont think this is what the are referring too, but thats all I know. Just trying to help.

I also do not know what article you are talking about but in reference to the defense...there are two triangles he could be focusing on...Pass and Run
Pass
The triangle could also be referred to as 3 over 2...when you have a slot (2 WR) and they are covering them with the DB and LB at 4-6 yards and the Safety over the top of the inside receiver or splittin the difference between the two.
Run
In any 4 man front you are going to have 2 lineman and 1 inside linebacker to each side of the ball
Not sure if this helps you but I tried

Sorry just to add to my post...from what I usually see the CB will take the flat...the LB will take the Hook/Curl Area...Safety has deep half
But it always could be man coverage with the safety free

cmow5 -- Your understanding of a triangle is mine as well. Thanks for making the effort but this triangle had to do with the secondary. bjl2882 --The 3 over 2 alignment you describe is what I think the article was referring to and what I saw in the cut-ups. I wish I had saved the article in my favorites. I wasn't researching pre-snap reads and want to say it was an article from American Football Monthly. I'll google it. Anyway, can you describe how that 3 over 2 alignment works? I'm very new to the game and coaching and I'm trying to learn as much as possible before I hit the field next spring and start teaching it. Thanks to both for replying. You guys here at Coah Huey's talk in a language that's more like code and I'm not sure I'll ever learn all of the concepts behind it. But I'll try.

One of our presnap reads for our wrs. is the triagle. We have them read corner/lb/safety. This lets them know what coverage they are getting to their side. Zone or man. Maybe that is what he is talking about. Maybe not!

It depends on what triangle you are talking about.
when it comes to presnap reads we use different house angles
like a true cover 2 is a gable roof.
cover 1 (man free) is more like an A frame look
cover there is more of a normal pitched roof.
cover 0 is a flat roof like a warehouse
cover 4 looks like a car port.
I am talking from a 2x2 set.
now the other triangle is set up based on pass routes.
