JT, I appreciate and cannot recommend your channel enough to my fellow football fans. My question today is this; can you better explain how the quarterback can "feel" the backside or blindside pressure? Is this truly just muscle memory and how an internal clock feels for the quarterback? Is there a combination of reading the defense and expecting pressure from the blindside? Is this anticipation just coming from experience of play or can it be trained? Thank you.
Hey I know this was posted way back 4 yrs ago, but I watch a lot of J.T.'s videos, and I'd bet he'd say it depends on the protection call. If the backside is blocked up and there's no danger of a 4th rusher coming from that side, you should be able to drop back and make your read if nothing hot is coming front side. If you don't have the backside blocked up, that's where you gotta have that internal clock because if someone is coming that's not accounted for (a 4th rusher), the ball's gotta come out.
Hey JT perfect timing with this video. I recently found your channel and your videos on Stick, Drive, short post. I don't 'coach' but I do coach my son who's a high school quarterback and I found these videos excellent tools for him. Thanks for the content, keep it up.
Thank you for the reply JT! Leadership, is in my opinion, the most important quality in any walk of life - we look for leaders every day, whether our parents, our superiors at work or the face of the franchise in a two minute drive. You butchered my name (Vee-tour), but I’ll forgive you! Happy holidays to you and the family brother PS: I meant to ask what got you into the leadership learning curve, it’s one thing leading a locker room, another thing altogether persevering through uni work and writing a dissertation
@@TheQBSchool Oh think of it more as the learning curve than the execution. A lot of- make your pre snap reads, if the defense looks this way, think these two options. Post snap- if this, then that, down the line from cover 0-1-2. Hated it then. Miss it now. Thanks again for the content. Def subscribing for more.
Hey JT, could you make a breakdown of Tom Brady this season. Everyone wants to dog him right now but I don't see it. He can still deliver the football with velocity and accuracy but it seems like his receivers outside of Edelman can't win their one on ones. Defenses are literally bracketing Edelman and leaving no one in the hole, just wondering why McDaniels doesn't run more traffic to spring the other guys open against press man.
Yo JT, love your videos. What made you want to start a TH-cam channel and deal with an audience where you’d have to explain the game in a very elementary and fundamental level? Is it the money? Is it just a passion for teaching and for the game? Keep up the good work. You’ve taught me so much
Hey JT. Love everything you're putting out. I've been telling all my friends what a great channel this is. QBs are often critiqued on their leadership ability, including what some to believe is their inherent ability to inspire the other 10 guys in the huddle. When you're looking at draft classes, you'll inevitably see a QB's leadership ability be critiqued. However, this seems to ignore that these are grown men and I couldn't imagine a situation where, if i'm a 30-year old lineman, that I need to look to my rookie QB for leadership in the huddle or locker room. What is your opinion on that kind of criticism? Have you seen or heard of a locker room where the QB may not necessarily be a leader, but at the very least gets their job done?
Hello JT. Love the channel. I remember your time as a 49er (big Niners fan). My question has to do with Wide Receivers and how they are designated. Particularly in the West Coast Offense system, there seems to be a specific set of requirements for the X (split end), the Z (flanker), and the Zebra/Eagle men (WR3 and WR4). Could you describe how a coaching staff designates which receiver plays which role? Do these roles change sometimes, depending on criteria like field position, formation, and position groups? Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Can you go over the play design and fundamentals of the Pump Seam, or Sluggo Seam concept from how a QB reads it, and maybe manipulates the Defense in a future video? Thanks.
Hey JT, as you said in this video and previous videos that you have had experience in the West Coast Offense and the Air Corryell Digit system... but is there anyway you can make a video on the Erdhart-Perkins “concept” based system from your time up in New England?
Talking about playcalling: Ever been in a system using the big cards to signal plays in to the QB? I'm going to work with my high school team the first time and want a way to speed up getting the play call in.
Hey JT, thanks a bunch for doing this! Is there any way you could do a similar video to this, but one that talks about the implications of wide hashes in high school. It seems like MOFO doesn't really apply because the field safety in a 2 high look is mostly in the middle of the field. Also the limited room into the boundary has major implications as well. We have had success treating #3 to the field as essentially #2 to the boundary, as he can get to that boundary third of the field very easily. We are still developing those ideas though.
Hey JT, I have a question regarding 5 WR sets. What is the most effective defense to limit an offense in a no huddle situation? If you play man, this opens up the run, zone can get carved up quick. Thanks!
How do you gameplan the drop back game? How do you decide "yeah we should run drive against these guys" or decide when to run certain dropback concepts
Love this show - understanding the 'nuance and detail' 😉 really does enhance the enjoyment of the game. Minor criticism of this Q&A format is that it's hard to picture what you mean without the diagrams. Appreciate that's more work, and certainly wouldn't want you to reduce content but having not played the game, I need the X's and O's in order to get it.
Do you know if there is any other channels that are similar to yours but specialize in defense or running? It would be great if you can do a collaboration where you can both would look at the same plays and discuss it from both sides of the line.
MOFC (middle-of the field closed) and MOFO refer to how the safeties are playing. Stuff like Cover 2 or 4 where you have two safeties with deep half or quarters responsibilities, leaves a lot of open space in that middle seam. This is middle of the field open. Whereas a cover 3, cover 1 might have their safety in the middle or closer to the middle than in other coverages, so this space in this seam would be closed. Hence, middle of the field closed. This informs pretty much everything you do in the passing game. Theres undoubtedly more nuance that someone like JT would be much more knowledgeable of than I but thats the basic idea

Great job!, these videos always make me want to play football and put the time in to get better because you make it seem so easy

I love this. This brought back memories with my first QB coach in middle school. Excellent stuff!
Really? Middle school? Y'all were ballin.

JT I love the channel and all the info you drop on us football nerds.
Wow J.T, great insight with the 2x2 slant flat with double slants on the other side and the read
Thank you for this Brother!!! Confirmation and supplementation. 🤙🏾

Seeing this comment after watching him win another Super Bowl and just retiring makes me miss watching Tom play that much more. The GOAT 🐐

I literally did Sluggo Seam yesterday on the Eli video.
@@TheQBSchool Ahh the one video I missed for whatever reason. Going to go watch it now.
Great vid JT. Can you explain the best ways to use a RB in Shotgun/spread? A good back seems like the ultimate weapon
Loving the videos! Do you think you could show examples of progressions in certain plays and why they are designed that way?
Hey JT, love the great videos! Can you give us some insight on how your equipment changed and evolved over your career?

Thanks for another great, informative video!
hey JT, love your work can you do a general breakdown of offensive scheme like lincoln riley's offense
The leadership series/videos you mentioned sound like a great idea. I’d be very interested in those.
Do you plan on covering the XFL?
Thanks. Prob not but perhaps.
JT after the eagles vs cowboys game can you do the assessment of Carson wentz
Do NFL teams train the QB Kneel?
They probably get to it a couple times before the season and then let it go
bring back ur trademark "pew" in teh beggining man - i miss it))

A higky underrated video
Bring back the intros! Funny stuff man

What call did you like when you were struggling and needed to reset? What was that call that help you start getting back into rhythm?
Screen
The QB School thanks for the info. Always trying to find a better way to get my college guys back into rhythm when things aren’t working
I know it's not this subject but I would like you to explain trap to coverage
Would be cool if you could talk about how coaches approach halftime adjustments, since my raiders can't seem to make any on offense or defense
I talk about this in a vid.
Coach is there a way to contact you ?
Ooh what drink did you get?
JT getting that Nike and Starbucks advertising money
I like that. Although, I really don't love Starbucks. I got this place Cafe 1134...local spot. Way better.
JT
You see them Eagles
Yep you did
Yep you did
Pull up the full 22
Comes out on Tuesdays.

Could you talk about the west coast offense? It’s scheme and common plays in west coast schemes.
