Football is all about timing. Not just the timing that is required between the offensive line and the running back, or between the safeties and linebackers on a blitz play, but also the timing of the coach to choose the right plays at the right time. The difference between success and failure rides upon play selection more than any other factor.
Having great plays in your arsenal is one thing, but knowing when to use them is something completely different. If you can catch the other team off guard, you can change the course of the game in one play. For a century, coaches have tried to master this art, but the reality is that effective play calling is a very difficult thing to do consistently.
You now have a new ally in this hundred-yard game of war, and it is in the form of your computer. Football Tools has created football scouting software that helps you analyze your play selection so that you can become more unpredictable to opposing coaches. Footbal Scouting software can help you track your plays and get you more organized and coordinated.
"Controlled chaos" is a good phrase which to describe to Chalk Talk football scouting software. Simply, it help you get a handle on dozens of plays by telling you which plays you run and when. For instance, it will tell you your top 10 plays on 3rd and 10, or your most popular pass plays in the red zone. This is useful stuff, and it will help you immensely on the field.
As a coach, make sure you have all the football coaching tools you need to win!

Football Spread Offense
Today's infomation is about a new football spread offense that was named the Football Offense of the Decade in Virginia!
I was talking with my good friend and former NFL player Bill Renner. He was the head coach at West Springfield High School in Virginia. They average over 43 points per game this past year using his Football Spread Offense. 5 Wide Attack Offense. So I asked him to tell me about his football spread offense.
This is the second article about this football offensive formation.
Football Spread Offense - 5 Wide Attack Offense
In WW2, the allies used a specific three-step plan to liberate an island in the Pacific. They wanted to "soften up" or weaken the resistance by creating a problem for them to solve. Then, they wanted to "establish a beach head" or take control of a small area. Once this was in place they would then begin to establish the long process of liberating the rest of the island "one bit of territory at a time".
"Soften Up" We must create a problem, an assault, for the defense to solve. Our short, precise passing game is the first problem, assault, we want to establish. At the high school level, there is not a lot of time spent defending the pass. The underneath LB level players spend 97% of their time practicing to defend the run. We want to attack them with short, precise pass routes that confuse them. We want them to be uncertain of which receiver is coming in their area and become stationary when the ball is snapped so we can run routes around them. We have three assault methods to soften up the defense. The short, precise passing game is our first attack method but the counter/zone runs and the play-action pass are also options to use if the pass is being defended. The opponent does not have time to practice and get good defending all three of these attack options.
Run Assault - Counter and Zone Runs
Pass Assault - Dropback pass
Pass/Run Assault - Play action pass

QB Coaching
This article talks about quarterback coaching and qb training for youth football. Specifically how to grip and throw a football.
- Your Grip:
You want your fingers on the laces of the ball. Be sure there is daylight between the ball and the web of your hand. If there isn't you are chocking the ball. that leads to throwing wobbling ducks.
As you drop back to your stance, you want to protect the ball by securing it with both hands. Remember there are rushers that want to strip you of the ball making them a hero and you the goat. Two hands on the ball as you drop back.
Your Throwing Stance
While you are dropping back to your throwing stance, look down field to find your open man. Now that you have identified your target, don't hesitate, get into passing stance. Have your forward shoulder pointing at your target. Now this is important, the center of the arch of your plant foot should be lined up with your receiver.
Your Delivery
Now that you are in your throwing stance, bring your throwing arm up and back. Use both hands, releasing your non throwing hand about chin high. (Remember those pass rushers that want to separate you from the ball.)
Bring your throwing arm back, elbow bent, and cock your arm. Extend your free arm forward for balance and your hand pointing at the receiver. Your weight will transfer to your plant foot and your ready to make your delivery.
Pushing off your back foot, bring your front foot forward stepping into the throw. Bring your throwing arm forward delivering the ball. You will feel your weight transfer to your forward foot during your throwing motion.
Your Release
Snap your throwing arm forward releasing the ball just above your ear. When you are releasing the ball snap your wrist and fingers for additional velocity.
While you are bringing your arm forward, bring the hip forward, transferring your weight from your plant foot to the forward foot. This helps you put your weight into the throw.
Avoid throwing a wounded duck pass. Bring the heat, snapping your hip into the pass at the point of release puts speed, power and distance into your pass.
Your Follow Through
Now you have released the ball snapping your fingers rolling the ball off the index finger, giving you that nice tight spiral. You want to bring put your shoulder into the pass bring the plant foot forward. Completing your throw, your passing hand will come down to the opposite hip.

Quarterback Skills and QB Drills
Lets talk about the qb drills and quarterback skills needed to play college football.
I was talking with a Major college football recruiter and I asked him what they look for in a High School Quarterback. He stated 4 things! The first thing they look for in a quarterback is mental and physical toughness. The second thing they look for is the QB footwork. The third thing they look for is Vision. And lastly is the arm strength to make all of the quarterback throws. If a quarterback has those four of these abilities then you might just get a football scholarship!
A lot of mental toughness comes with football classroom work. One of the most underrated phases of quarterback training is in the football film room and the chalkboard. Most teams give the quarterback scouting reports that the coaches will review with them. Many teams after reviewing scouting reports have the quarterbacks write down the different passing plans. Such as the goal line package, the 2 minute offense package, the 3rd down package. the no huddle package if you have one, the first down passing package. From this list you will usually have 2-4 plays picked and reviewed.
So as you can see a Quarterback must spend some time learning how to read defenses! I see that there are now quarterback training websites that sell Quarterback How To Read Defenses DVDs. I strongly suggest any serious QB get them!
Quarterback footwork can be developed in many ways. Jumping rope, Jumping Benches and Boxes. Playing soccer, playing tennis, playing basketball, ladder drills, hurdle drills. Again there are some great low cost football training dvds out there you can buy on the internet. Just search quarterback training dvds or football training dvds.
Nest is vision, this is skill all great quarterbacks must have. You must be able to read defenses, find the open reciever and make the throw! The first part of reading defenses is identifying the pass coverage. Is it cover 2, cover 3, Man to man, Zone, or a combination type pass defense, or is a blitz coming? Again all qbs must put some time in the classroom study film and learning to read defenses!
Lastly, all quarterbacks at the higher levels have a strong enough arm to make all of the passing throws in a passing tree. The typical routes include a quick out, quick slant or quick hitch.
The passing tree includes 3 step drops, The typical routes include a quick out, quick slant or quick hitch. 5 step drops, with typical routes are curl, out, in. And 7 step drop or shotgun, with typical routes being the deep in, deep out, comeback, post and go route.
This passing tree and the throws used are the bread and butter used by all college and NFL coaches or scouts. If you want to play quarterback you must learn these throws. You can attend a quarterback camp or again there are some great low cost quarterback passing drills dvd that you can buy on the internet to see more detailed quarterback drills.

Elite Quarterback Coaching
This quarterback training article is about quarterback coaching. If you want to play the quarterback position you must have these three quarterback skills.
#1. Quarterback Mental Sharpness
You must be able to understand the play calls, huddle, formations, quarterback reads of the defense. If your coach or team can't count on you to be mistake free, you can never play quarterback. The metal side of quarterback is very hard but also very rewarding. So learn all of your plays/formations. Make sure you understand the startegy behind all of the plays. What is the team trying to don on each play. Button line to play the quarterback position you must be football smart!
#2. Vision
All good quarterbacks must be able to see the football field and understand from a strategic position what are qb's and the teams best options for our teams success. Do we have enough men on the field? Is the formation correct? Is the running play called going to work against a specific defense? Is the pass called by the head coach going to work against that pass defense. What if they are blitzing? All good quarterbacks must be able to see and understand the game and it strategies!
Depth perception and judgment make this the 3rd most important category. Seeing the route being run down the field in conjunction with the spacing of defensive players is extremely important. Seeing how they are covering the receivers is another crucial element. If the quarterback doesn't see these things properly, it is a huge disadvantage. Good vision is reflected by good decision making and sound judgment. Don't throw interceptions (A quarterback's most important job). The single most important issue when talking about a quarterbacks overall judgment and decision making. The single best example is Joe Montana.

#3. Quarterback Balance/Footwork
You must have balance and good footwork to play qb! Whether is is taking the snap, handing the ball of on a running play or correctly doing a 3 step drop on a slant route pass play. Footwork is the foundation of passing accuracy. If you need help with your footwork look into some football ladder drills.
Todd Krueger is a former NFL Quarterback that was a 8th round draft pick in 1980 by the Buffalo Bills. He also played with the Houston Oilers, Minnesota Vikings and the Arizona Wranglers in the USFL.

QB Training
Today lets talk about qb training and quarterback coaching. Specifically about Quarterback Speed related to playing football.
I recently spoke with my good friend and former college roommate at Northern Michigan University Steve Mariucci. He was one of the commentators on the NFL Network that that was making comments about how fast or slow the quarterbacks were at the NFL Combine.
He stated qb speed is not as important at the NFL level as it is in high school and college. He did say what is important for quarterbacks is there ability to have enough speed and quickness to move in the pocket and if necessary to make a blitzing linebacker or a defensive lineman miss you on a pass rush!
In the NFL with the amount of money they are paying quarterbacks, Matt Ryan a rookie got over 50 Million Dollars in 2008, you can not have your qb running the spread offense and running the ball! Yes you need to throw out of the shotgun, but there is no owner in the NFL wants there starting qb running the spread option like Tim Tebow.
If you look at the list of quarterbacks below you will notice the top four quarterbacks that will be drafted in the NFL 2009 upcoming football draft Stafford, Sanchez, Freeman and Davis not one of them has blazing speed! But they all can make defensive players miss and can move in the pocket!
Fastest Quarterback:
Pat White from West Virginia 4.5
Steven McGee from Texas A&M 4.58
Mike Reiley from Central Washington 4.71
Rhett Bomar from Sam Houston State 4.72
Matthew Stafford from Georgia 4.81
John Parker Wilson from Alabama 4.85
Mark Sanchez from USC 4.88
Nate Davis from Ball State 4.93
Josh Freeman from Kansas State 4.95
Chase Holebrook from New Mexico State 5.05

Quarterback Training, QB DVD's
One DVD that quarterbacks and parents seem to forget when looking for quarterback training dvds is the mental aspect. Especially How to read pass coverage defenses!
Football is a violent game that can result in injury, if you don't know what you're doing. That's why the game is as much mental as it is physical, and that's especially true in the case of quarterbacks.
NFL quarterbacks and high level college quarterbacks have gotten to where they are by practicing fundamental methods and techniques over and over.
They have also reached the professional level because they have good heads on their shoulders and know the plays inside and out. If you listen to some of the plays called at the NFL level they are almost a short sentence.
Hear is an example.
Gun Right, trips right, train, z-mo zigzag, fly corner, y post, x yo-yo, max protection.
Why are we telling you this? Because the work ethic and dedication and mental skills that all good quarterbacks possess were learned at a young age.
That's why when you look to buy your next Quarterback Training DVD make sure you consider some on how to read defenses. For more information on where to get a QB How To Read Defense DVD go to the website information below.
We don't promise any instructional products will result in an NFL quarterback, but we can promise that they will teach what it takes to start on that path.

Quarterback Coaching- Youth QB
The quarterback is the cornerstone of any football offense, as everyone knows. His job is to orchestrate the symphony that is bringing his team down the field, one play at the time.
Organization and creativity are essential aspects of any effective quarterback, but these skills do not emerge overnight. It takes countless hours of practice and repetition to master the skills that are required for effective offensive execution.
Learning the playbook, and perhaps more importantly, learning the mental concentration that is needed on every snap is part of the process. Effective utilization of skills and learning the right drills can eliminate a lot of wasted time on the practice field. Football Tools has designed its Quarterback Training DVDs around these masterful drills and plays.
Regardless of whether your young quarterback is at the "pee wee," middle school, or high school level, our Quarterback Training is a must toward the first steps towards being successful.
By placing our useful plays and drills in DVD format, you can easily skip to any chapter, pause, slow, and even rewind what you're watching. The mechanics of being a good quarterback cannot be overstressed--snapping, changing directions, and quick release are mechanics that must be mastered.
With Quarterback Training DVDs, you can zero in on exactly what you need. DVDs are highly portable and can be played in laptops, so you can bring our instructional videos out to the field.

Quarterback Training- Passing Accuracy
I am a former NFL quarterback and today I want to talk about some more quarterback training.
Recently I had a chance to speak with Coach Rob Spence the quarterback coach for Syracuse University. I asked him what he qualities he looks for in a high school QB when out recruiting. The number one skill he looks for is passing accuracy.
We talked about the ability to throw at set targets when they have passing workouts. He talked about aiming at the left shoulder or right shoulder or the chin on the receivers face.
So quarterbacks should concentrate during your throwing workouts on accuracy. Not how hard you throw it!
Make sure when you go through your passing tree throwing routine to imagine throwing to your correct target.
When throwing to your right aim for the left shoulder if the receiver is running an out or comeback or flag. And aim for the right shoulder if your receiver is running a slant or hitch, post route or a go route.
The same is true if you are throwing to your left. Everything is just the opposite. So concentrate on all of your quarterback training throwing workouts on passing accuracy.
If you are in high school quarterback I recommend throwing no more than three times per week. If you are a QB who is under 8th grade, don't throw more than 2 times per week.
Just for the record coach Spence guided Toledo offense when he coached there to over 474 yards per game and over 35 points per game!

We talked about the ability to throw at set targets when they have passing workouts. He talked about aiming at the left shoulder or right shoulder or the chin on the receivers face.
So quarterbacks should concentrate during your throwing workouts on accuracy. Not how hard you throw it!
Make sure when you go through your passing tree throwing routine to imagine throwing to your correct target.
When throwing to your right aim for the left shoulder if the receiver is running an out or comeback or flag. And aim for the right shoulder if your receiver is running a slant or hitch, post route or a go route.
The same is true if you are throwing to your left. Everything is just the opposite. So concentrate on all of your quarterback training throwing workouts on passing accuracy.
If you are in high school quarterback I recommend throwing no more than three times per week. If you are a QB who is under 8th grade, don't throw more than 2 times per week.

Football Spread Offense
Today I want to talk with Head Coach Bill Renner and his Spread Offense which he calls: 5-Wide Attack Spread Offense
Article 1 - For an offense, nothing is more frustrating than having a defense that Attacks you to the point that you are passive, defensive, and worried about not being able to get points or move the ball. They have succeeded in making your offense take on a defensive mind set of "just don't lose the game" or "we will wait for a good opportunity".
Well, the 5 Wide Attack Offense's mission is to never allow that mind set to become prevalent. In fact, the 5 Wide Attack Offense reverses that mind set and puts the defense in the passive, defensive mode and worries if they can stop it.
HOW does it do this? With formations that limit the defensive alignment so you can practice against exactly what you will see on game day. With a no huddle system that makes the defense play at your tempo. With offense tempo changes that keep the defense from being able to lock in on your offense. With 5 receivers in every pass play and 4 receivers on every run play which disguises their pass run read of your offense.
Good defenses are programmed to react and not think. The 5 Wide Attack Offense does not allow them to ever get in a reacting state, it always keeps them thinking. Thinking defenses are slow defenses which become uncertain defenses who then become targets for your Attack offense. Once you have them confused, doubt creeps in and then the points roll up on the scoreboard.
Instilling the element of doubt in a defense is your chief weapon against an aggressive defense. Never be without the tools to create this doubt so you can score as many points as necessary to win. The 5 Wide Attack Offense will give you those tools!
Todd Krueger is a former NFL Quarterback that was a 8th round draft pick in 1980 by the Buffalo Bills. He also played with the Houston Oilers, Minnesota Vikings and the Arizona Wranglers in the USFL.
