re: Note to Harris!!!!! When the Zone Read play is called

Back to back "reads" and that is all I could really find.

IDK what the left side of the line is doing on this play or who BH should be reading in the first place, so I'm calling it a read is dubious.

On the second one I'd assume he is reading #43 the OLB and he made the correct call to give it to LF.

OK So the first play is def not a read. The LT is blocking the loose 9 and he is staring at the end to hold the LB'er's ... The second one you could assume is a Counter Read but they block the back side tackle.

These are Inside Zone and Counter GT, no reads involved

A Zone Read is when you leave someone unblocked and read the way they play the QB. For example if the unblocked Lineman (usually an End) takes the RB the QB runs where he was, if the End runs up field you hand it off and you block inside zone. Same concept with counter Read you don't block the (For example) 3 or 4 tech and if he follows the pullers the QB replaces him and you run it through the hole and block everyone else.

Just my view of the situation.
