Putting this out to all fellow OL Coaches.

You get 1 Drill to work on Pass Pro and it's the only drill you can do, what drill would it be and why.

If you have different flavors of it, would love to hear it, ideally see it. Ill put mine as well, but would love to find input on drills.

Are these two Pass Concepts different enough to necessitate carrying both?

Purely operating as 2-Man Backside Passing Concepts.

I try and focus on posting X's and O's, but this topic has been extremely interesting to me since I was a player. And when I look back on my favorite coaches it was the men that checked all three boxes.

How do you show your players that you care and value them?

There are 3 Primary Sources of Praise.

1) Performance-Based Praise
Ex) Great Run, Great Catch, etc.
This is absorbed by the athlete as "You did this well"

2) Effort-Based Praise
Ex) I see you working, Keep up the effort, etc.
This is absorbed by the athlete as "Your effort matters"

3) Personal Praise
Ex) I'm proud of you, I am proud of who you have become, etc.
This is absorbed by the athlete as "You have inherent value beyond this performance."

Performance and effort-based are important, but they are also the two easiest as you are praising the things that they are doing within the purview of your sport. Finding ways to inform your players that they are more than just athletes can have significant impact on player well-being and overall team culture. If your players feel that they are cared about as people as well as being cared about as players, great things can really happen.

Find ways to make your players know you care about THEM, not just about what they can do.

@TruckBon can i get rid of 7 of them?

Small college Coaches.

I’m reaching out for assistance.

What are some creative ways you are fundraising for your program.

Not looking to infringe on what you’re doing, just trying to see if it’s an option for us.

Feel free to DM Me or text me

[Spencer Wheeler @CoachSCDub]

@JacquezGreen Use both.

If i'm playing center, I prefer verbal.

But we talk about preference with our QBs and our Centers

Played against him senior year.

He was very meticulous.
Counted the box on every snap. Scanned the defense before every snap.

He seldom if ever got touched let alone tackled.

He had a great offensive line as well. One went to Colorado another to UCLA.

They had a strong system in place that put him and their players in spots to be successful and he thrived in it and found success at Cal running a similar system.

Jared Goff’s high school tape is a strong case study in transferable quarterback traits.

At Marin Catholic, he was a three-sport athlete, a 39-4 varsity starter, and threw 93 touchdown passes.

The production matters, but the operation matters more.

You see mobility on tape, but not reckless escape. He could move, extend, and avoid pressure, yet his first instinct was still to keep his eyes downfield and distribute the football.

That is the difference.

A lot of young quarterbacks feel pressure and immediately abandon the structure of the play. Goff stayed connected. Even as protection broke down, his base, posture, and repeatable stroke gave him a chance to keep the play alive without turning it into chaos.

Mobility gives you access.

Fundamentals give you control.

Command is knowing how to use both while still doing the job: delivering the football.

@CoachHerbertDa1 Spilling makes life harder for base concepts.

Spilling makes life easier for some unique ones that could have the potential to be more explosive.

If you gave me a choice I’d rather face a Box end all the time for the reasons you mentioned above.

[Spencer Wheeler @CoachSCDub]

@Coach_J_Allen @Coach_Yurcich He was the OC for this team, on this exact play.
