Hey Coach, just stumbled upon your Videos while looking for Drills to get better in the offseason that started right now in Germany. One thing I really seem to struggle with is throwing Go-Routes. I've got two problems with this. 1) I can really shoot the ball down field but it doesn't arc. At some point it will stop spinning or spin very slow and wobble, coming down into the receivers Hands with the back of the ball first instead of tipping over mid air and coming down the way I want it. Sometimes I get it but most of the time I don't and I can't really tell what it is. Maybe you have some insight on that for me? 2) I tend to overthrow. I don't have any problems estimating where the Receiver is gonna be on routes with any amount of lateral movement but with the go route just going vertically away from me I tend to over throw the receivers. Even with a five step dropback and sitting in the pocket for a second or two I tend to overthrow the route a lot by roughly two to three yards. It isn't much but I can't fix it. I tried different things such as making bigger steps on the dropback to get a yard or two more depth on the dropback but it didn't help much. Do you have any drills to practice properly estimating the WR's position on deep vertical routes?
