Bill,
100% with you on taking good care of the QB! Parcells told Testaverde that if he would sign with him, he would protect him and he has. I've had many a good coach tell me that they would never put their QB back by himself with no personal protector. To run a spread like mine, no doubt about it, you have to have a QB who can deal! I have no plays whatsoever where he takes a snap from under center. I only recruit guys who can run, as well as, pass to play QB. The heat comes off the edges, up the middle, etc. if the protection breaks down he has to be able to avoid it, no doubt about it. I have always coached if the pro breaks down, or you can't get the receivers the way you like them. you have two choices; 1. pull it down and get us something positive with your legs!
2. Get outside the tackle box and throw it away according to todays rules. Always before, throw it in the direction of the nearest receiver in such a manner as to not be intercepted. I have six goals for QB's everytime we scrimmage or play for real. 1. no fumbles on the C/QB exchange 2. no fumbles on the QB/RB mesh. 3. No bad reads. 4. no bad pitches 5. no interceptions 6. no sacks ( if they can play clean in these six areas, we have greatly enhanced our chances of winning. I preach proper reading skills, good mechanics, and getting rid of the ball on time and accuracy as the key elements of any successful passing attack. A QB has to have total confidence in his 0 line to do their job with consistency, in order to do his. I totally agreee with the right pass pro being called to maximize the QB's safety as much as is possible, but I utilize my TE as a primary receiver a lot in our conventional formations as well. I do not use hot calls very often, although I do some in certain situations if we are not picking up blitzes very well until we can get the right adjustments made. As always, appreciate your answers.
