@Coach_Entz @Fresno_State I really enjoyed the clinic Coach. You have a very high quality staff and it was a pleasure. Loved seeing the energy and competitiveness during the practice.

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

Congratulations to @CoachNagle45 That program is in good hands. He’s a fantastic coach.

@Coach_Timmerman @anderson58__ As a lover of wide zone, you made this coaches day! You got an instant follow and a “hell yeah!” Now for the imaginary fist bump for the late great Alex Gibbs.

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

Coaches out on the trail…if you have need for a 26 QB hit me up. You will not be disappointed. Especially if you are coming through the Central Valley area of CA. I would love to chat.

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

It’s neat watching the position evolve in real time. Defenses have found ways to muddy, slow, and complicate QB decision making. Under center PA and use of a good screen game can help. Good film study is also critical for success.

[Mickey Raftery @mickeyraftery7]

Agreed. This is why studying and pre-snap reads are so important. But when you couple choice routes with the fact that defenses are playing way more exotic fronts and coverages, it makes the position more difficult to play in some ways- and the craft of playing quarterback that much more important. I love the challenge and love studying and anticipating what I am going to see so that my feet can sink up with the patterns.

Coaches coming through the Central Valley/Bay Area, feel free to shoot me a DM. Would love to plug you with a list of guys (all positions) you might want to look at. 🤝

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

Thought provoking. Have to have a system and think about the “why” behind what you do. How do you marry “new” ideas into your system? Coaching does require significant thought and understanding of what and why you are doing everything you do.

[Chris Haddad @chrisvIQtory]

Good question! The variables from an offensive line perspective is time intensive. Using the example he gave:

Wide zone
- Can you reach the 3 tech? If not, how do you adjust? Do you hang on double teams longer because the frontside linebacker isn’t great at scraping to the football or does he always over-pursue so cutback lane is available

- How do you play someone like Aaron Donald? Block down and bucket step around? Run away? Do you have to make creative adjustments?

- What’s the plan for blocking blitzes, slants, stunts, reductions, etc. (Have to rep both mentally in film room and on the field. Biggest time spent.)

- Does the RB’s aiming point now change based on these adjustments. If so he needs to be cycled into the OL room

I know it looks like just running wide zone on the surface but OL coaches/coordinators have their hands full preparing for all these adjustments beforehand, so they’re not having to scramble to make them in the game.

Everything is loaded ready to go.

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

@chrisvIQtory Coaches should certainly think through as many variables as they can. When I build out RB footwork it is built off of starting position of the back and tied to the offensive line footwork/block timing, as well as mesh point, body position, and how you are attacking the D.

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

@KH_Pike You are not completely off base in the observation, but I think the margin of error being so small in the NFL is why seemingly simple things require more hashing out than expected. It’s doesn’t take countless hours to come up with footwork, but maybe to find the right footwork.

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

Becker and Black have been impressive tonight. Would like to have seen Black get fed more earlier but man what a game so far.

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

Mine would be 3 Hot 25 Ozzy. (Twins Right YH-Wing Left outside zone to TE/Wing). Under center.

Coaches,
P &10 to start the game, what are you calling?
Formation and Play?

Me: Nub LT Gold - Gators Even - Ride

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

As a play caller you have to have a clear understanding of why you are doing what you are doing. Fewer guys in more space is how I like to approach it. QB has to understand this as well. This is a good glimpse of the thought process behind the decision making.

Also a good constraint off of weak side IZ.

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

A good example of the cat & mouse game coordinators play. Pinch-loop out of EMOL and W to give the “keep” read to the QB (ends up getting loaded by the Tackle). Y arc cuts off W. The F arcs to Safety which creates the plus 1. Creative way to run QB to essentially TE/Wing.

[Coach Ryan Howard @Coach_R_Howard]

🚨DOUBLE ARCS IZ🚨

Why get one lead block for zone read when you can have ✌️

Easy way to add blockers to get hat on $

@ProQuickDrawPQD makes it easy to create wrinkles & answers to your run game!

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

I love wide zone to the TE Wing look. Such a fantastic surface for the play.

[Mike Kuchar @MikekKuchar]

Del State revamped its entire run game on the backs of wide zone. Sure helps when your Center can reach a 3-Technique. 😲

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

Great day for a couple former players! @JoshAllenQB with the comeback and @erickendricks6 with a critical PBU. Keep grinding fellas!

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

@erickendricks6 still getting it done!

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

On to the next one! Let’s go @JoshAllenQB #BillsMafia

[Matthew King @CoachMCKing]

This game has always been about the person not the player. Football just provides the opportunity to develop and reveal character.
