Brady Performance Quarterback Group Session

Doug Brady • Feb 01, 2024

Coach Doug Brady, Quarterback Coach at Brady Performance, conducted two separate group sessions on Sunday, January 21, 2024.

In the 8 AM session, we trained in the rain. Coach Brady explained to the Quarterbacks that training in the rain is important because you never know when one of your games may be played in those conditions. Creating a baseline as a Quarterback as it relates to what throws you know you can execute in those conditions is imperative. We worked on base Quarterback fundamentals, including the throwing sequence, drop mechanics, resetting in the pocket, moving up and out in the pocket, out and up, and many more Quarterback movement strategies.

The 10:15 AM session was held with better conditions as the rain subsided, and we were able to get work in. We covered some of the same Quarterback drills, and we added some different Quarterback pocket movement variations as well.

It was a quality day of work. We practiced a lot of visualization of coverage structures and the techniques found in those structures.

How to Choose a Quarterback Coach

The quarterback gets the play from the sideline and communicates the play along with the snap count to his teammates. The QB then approaches the line of scrimmage and positions himself behind center while surveying the field. When he surveys the field he collects snapshots of information about the contour of the defensive alignment and makes certain his teammates are aligned correctly. He looks for quick indicators to make his best pre-snap assessment of what the defense is playing. At the snap he then either keys an area or a specific defender to execute his pass or run responsibility. This entire process can fill up the pages of an entire book or it can be synthesized to its simplest form such as throw to open grass or read 1,2 to 3.
