A New season has all ready started

We put up shoulder pads last Thursday and Friday and started QB meetings this past Wednesday.  My intent is to try to develop several quarterbacks so we just don't have to count on that one quarterback who may not be a QB when he gets to high school.  We had three varsity players at the meeting and three seventh grade QB's at the meeting.  We would have had more but our 8th grade was having tryouts on the same day.  My goal is to have 2 QB's for every sub-varsity team and they are to share equal time playing QB.  So with A & B teams 7th grade through Freshmen there should be 12 QB then 2 of them will be moved to other positions when they get to JV.  This is a similar to what Southlake Carroll did under Todd Dodge. Our Quarterback meetings we accomplished the following: 

• Watched the first of the C4 DVD's
• Went over all of the reads for 4 Verticals   (Blog about 4 Verticals soon to come) 
• We went into all of the different coverage's verses 4 Verticals.  
• We went over the Stick Route 

After the meeting the varsity guys got out the football on their own and tried to apply the thumb and hand placement, the cocked wrist, and the breaking the panel with their elbows.

Last one with the chalk offense Part 3

I have seen Dana Holgorsen do the same talk twice once at Tony Franklin System Seminar in Dallas in 2010 the other time it was at the Texas High School Coaches Association Coaching School this past year.  He talked about game planning and showed how he broke down opponent which was good stuff but after the second time my self diagnosed Attention Deficient Disorder kicked in.

During his Coaching School presentation he starts to show the Orange Bowl where WVU scores 70 points.  The first thing that comes to mind as we are watching the cut-ups is they are getting really good field position.  The second thing is they are running this concept where the out of blue or trips they are running a Stick concept meshed with a Draw Concept.  So basically the Quarterback is reading the Inside Linebacker if he drops into coverage then the Quarterback gives the ball on to the H or F on the Draw.

I run Zone scheme (inside and outside) and a Gap scheme (Power, Counter, Power Kick pick two of those and get real good at them through the course of the season).  So my version of this concept is to just use Inside Zone with Stick.

We would have line up in Trips Right or Green Stack.    

Offensive line would Run Inside Zone Left with an automatic Lock It= Backside Tackle Blocks the End and the Backside Guard has no help and base blocks the Defensive Tackle.

Routes
Y Runs a 6 yard Stick
H in Green Sweed in Trips a 4 yard Speed Out
Z Runs a MOR (Mandatory Outside Release on a Go Route

QB Reads Inside backer to the Right

• If the Inside Backer Drops Give the Ball on the inside zone play
• If the Inside Backer Steps up Go to Stick Read Go, Stick, Sweed/Out
