Learning to read the defenses is a continuous on the job quarterback training process I will discuss in 3 phases, the film room, on the field and watching football training videos pertaining to defenses and quarterback training strategies.
Phase 1 The film room:
1. Study your opponents most recent game films
a. Study what type defenses they run, is it 3-5-3 a 4-3 defense?
b. Identify their defensive tendencies, when do they stack the box, when do they blitz, what kind of blitzes do the use, how do they use the safeties on blitzes?
c. Look for individual player tendencies. I once knew a quarterback/place kicker, who every time he was going to pass, he licked his fingers as he approached either the line of scrimmage or as he lined up for a fake field goal or two point conversion.
d. Defensive players and units are no different. Many players and units will telegraph their defensive strategies by the way they line up. When in the film room look for these idiosyncrasies they are there.
Phase 2 During the game:
1 Locate the safeties, where they are on the field and how many safeties are in the game as you approach the line of scrimmage. Safeties are the key to any defensive schemes you will face.
a. If the defense shows two safeties deep, each on the hash mark, this indicates a cover 2 zone defense. With each safety responsible for half the field, the center of the field might be open for the tight end or slot back or use a running play.
b. If the safeties are rotated to one side or moving towards the line of scrimmage, the quarterback may be seeing a blitz or man-to-man coverage. With both safeties on the same side of the field, the quarterback can have a wide receiver in in single coverage.
c. If a safety lines up on a tight end, expect all the defensive backs to be playing man-to-man.
d. Only one safety in the game indicates a cover three defense, the field divided in 3rds.
2. Quarterbacks read the corners. If they are playing close to the receivers, this usually indicates a zone defense. If the corners are playing off the receivers this indicates a man-to-man defense.
3. Look for mismatches. There will be times in a game where the offense has favorable mismatches with the defense. Exploit this situation, get the ball to your best receivers on the mismatch.
4. High school and middle schools are less likely to rotate line backers like the college ranks. When a new defender comes into the game, immediately test him, there is a reason he is not the starter.
Phase 3 Football Training Videos
Quarterbacks, does it make sense to study the same football training videos studied by defenses? There are many quality defense videos on the market made by successful defensive coaches.
Would studying these football training videos help you improve your football skills, reading the defense?

2012 Junior Rank All Star Football Game
All Star High School Football Game in Phoenix Arizona 2012
JuniorRank, a national football training company for young athletes, is partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps to hold an annual high school All-America game at Chase Field every January, JuniorRank Founder and CEO Shaon Berry told The Republic on Wednesday.
The U.S. Marine Corps All-American Bowl plans to hold an event to the scale of and in direct competition with the two established national prep All-America bowls - U.S. Army All-American Bowl, which is held in San Antonio, and the Under Armour All-American Bowl, which has been held in Orlando and St. Petersburg, Fla.
"Those other two games now have history, but our goal is to create something different, and in some people's minds, something better," Berry said. "Our partnership with the Marine Corps is fantastic. They're all about character, all about discipline.
"Our (player) selection committee will identify the top 100 or so players in the nation to participate in the game. But we'll only invite 'the few and the proud.' We're more than just looking for players with great ability to score touchdowns, but also those with great character stories and those who are great students and great in the community."
Like the U.S. Army and Under Armour Bowl games, the U.S. Marine Corps Bowl also will have a national selection tour. Its selection committee will be headed by Tom Lemming, who runs a high school football recruiting service and previously has helped the U.S. Army All-American Bowl select players.
Berry said negotiations with a TV network to televise the game is ongoing. He hopes to announce a deal within the next two weeks.
JuniorRank also plans to host a national prep showcase combine at Chase Field the day before the bowl game as well as All-America games for middle school-age players at another Valley venue.
Berry said his company picked Phoenix for a variety of reasons.
"There's so much going on in Phoenix at that time (January); there's the Insight Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl and all the great activities that surround it as well as the weather at that time of year," he said. "There's so much you can do and so much available in and around the games. We wanted families (who come for the All-America game) to have a great time."
Quarterback Guru Todd Krueger will be one of our elite football coaches working the game.
