Football question

Why does the qb point out the mlb pre-snap? The only thing I could think of was that maybe it helps the line adjust the blocking scheme in case of a blitz.

just pointing out the LB's showing or trying to hide the blitz...

Pre snap read can help both the O line & the backfield make adjustments.

Most times it has to do with who becomes the O-lines responsibility and who becomes the "hot guy". If the hot guy brings pressure for example its usually the QBs responsibility to handle him by making a hot throw.
