2015 SEASON

2015 notes;

•   Less is ALWAYS more... Limit Formations,concepts, and personnel groupings in order to become GREAT at what you truly want to accomplish offensively. 

•  Gap schemes (TRAP, POWER, BUCK SWEEP, COUNTER TREY) are extremely vulnerable to heavy run through defenses.  Gap schemes provide LBs and DL with the opportunity to "blow up" plays despite how well blocking schemes are coached. 

• Man schemes (inside zone, ISO, outside zone) sort themselves out against heavy run through defenses. 

• 4 & 5 read progressions for high school QBs are a waste of time.  Keep things simple for the QB. .   Give them 2 read progressions and tell them to get rid of the ball or pull it down and run. 

• When trying to establish QB run game in the spread offense, move the RB, H BACK, and lead blocker around in order to prevent defense from slanting/adjusting to RB alignment. 

• PLAY THE NEXT PLAY!! Do not dwell on past physical mistakes, Players know they messed up.  Simply move forward and address physical mistakes during film time.  

Power Read

    My name is Scott Grizzle, I am a 25 year old teacher/football coach from Kentucky. I played collegiately at Kentucky Christian University and Georgetown College.  Currently I am the QB coach at Raceland-Worthington H.S. in Raceland, KY. My knowledge of the quarterback position comes from my playing career and the time I have spent learning from some outstanding high school and college football coaches. I have a tremendous passion for playing and coaching the position of quarterback and through this blog I hope to provide in depth information to all players and coaches who share the same passion as I do. Throughout my football career I have learned from many great coaches but my main influence has been Cal offensive coordinator Tony Franklin. I have now been a player or a coach under the Tony Franklin System for a total of nine years. Most of my philosophy about playing QB comes directly from coach Franklin. As a high school qb, I was fortunate to attend the Tony Franklin Quarterback School for a period of ten sessions. The individual attention I received during that ten week period was the catalyst for a successful playing career and the opportunity I had to play football at the college level. Through QB Advantage I hope to provide the same opportunity for success and improvement that I was exposed to as a player, along with posting up to date information about the QB position, offensive strategy, playing fast, and all aspects of the spread offense.

SUMMER 2014 QB DRILLS CONTINUED

SUMMER IS HERE - TIME FOR SOME NEW QB DRILLS!

WITH SUMMER FOOTBALL WORKOUTS FINALLY HERE, I THOUGHT I'D PUT TOGETHER SOME OF THE BETTER QB DRILL VIDEOS I'VE FOUND RECENTLY.  DEFINITELY BIG INFLUENCE HERE FROM GEORGE WHITFIELD.

COUPLE QUICK COACHING POINTS I TRY TO STRESS DURING QB INDIVIDUAL DRILL WORK :

• FORCE QB TO MAKE TOUGHER THROWS IN PRACTICE THEN HE WILL IN A GAME
• NEVER PRESENT HIM WITH A "PERFECT" SITUATION 
• HAVE A DECISION MAKING ASPECT TO EVERY DRILL. 
• ALWAYS COACHING BALL SECURITY (2 HANDS, BALL HIGH AT THROAT) AND EYES DOWN FIELD TO TARGET
• MAKE HIM UNCOMFORTABLE! MORE DIFFICULT SITUATIONS IN PRACTICE THEN HE WILL FACE IN A GAME. 
• COMPETITION AMONG FELLOW QB's, KEEP THE INTENSITY & TEMPO HIGH.
• MY RULE - I AS A COACH SHOULD BE WORE OUT FROM QB INDIVIDUAL DRILL TIME BC I SHOULD BE DICTATING A FAST, INTENSE TEMPO FROM START TO FINISH.
