Football IQ check

I do not know my shit. And what a dumb litmus test for a football message board.
 
There's probably 37 other variables not described in the OP (and thus several right answers), but it looks to me like you have a potential rub on the *left slot...can't read the letter) and the X. I would guess you'd watch the safety and see if he follows the X down (or goes for the run fake) then go over top (and if the 2nd safety comes over then you have Y). If that's not there then I'm going Z/Y. X is probably last minute option once he gets past the middle LB.

EDIT: QB is rolling right and the left guard is pulling, so that might reverse the order of things.
 
Seriously though I think there's more than 1 right answer here. Also this diagram drives me crazy because the QB doesn't have enough depth and that backside square in should be more of a climb or drag. @slattimer we still pulling backside guard on bootlegs, I kind of like the whole OL selling out on zone step to the left there and washing everybody down.

With a full roll a lot of coaches would say what I call a squirrel route as 1, backside drag 2, backside post 3.

If the QB did a half roll instead of what appears to be a full roll, I'd say that backside post is #1, front side corner #2, backside drag #3, squirrel #4 aka outlet

Will a full roll some would do the opposite of the first option: corner #1, drag #2 squirrel #3.

As a defensive coach, I'm just hoping that back doesn't run a wheel out of the backside and my corner is out there chasing backside post

My guess is that the back is covering for the pulling guard but I could be wrong.
 
I'm going to say the X is the primary read, since the deep safety should go with the Y and the CB should pick up the Z

Y is the second read

not sure about #3. maybe the Z
 
1. Z, 2. X, 3. Y?

I’d think the play action is what makes 1. Z, 2. X possible in the order.
