Quarterback Play: Fundamentals and Techniques

An informative and easy-to-understand instructional tool for developing and improving the skill of quarterbacks at any level of play. Covers virtually every aspect of quarterback development, including detailed examinations of the dropback-passing game (quarterback stance, drops and distances, ball carriage, the grip, shoulder spin, release, follow-through); the different types of passes; common flaws in quarterback mechanics (poor hand placement, standing too tall in the pocket); defensive coverages and fronts (cover 3 zone, cover 1 free, cover zero man); quarterback reads (leverage and basic zone reads); shotgun passing; play-action passing; rollout passing mechanics; contingency plans in the passing game; shifting and putting players in motion; and much more. Dozens of diagrams and illustrations.
