All About Running a Post Route in Football

Video Transcript

"VINCENT JAMAL: Hi, I'm Vincent on behalf of Expert Village. Now, we've given Brian all the tools, and the best thing that he can do is rehearse them. So practice, practice, practice. So what, Brian, we're going to have you do is we're going to have you run this post route a few times. So, go ahead and we'll work it up in speed. So, go ahead and run it the first time about half speed. Set, hike. And he wants to work on his plant foot, getting his head around, getting his hands up, just getting fluid and getting used to the motion and exactly where he wants to position himself for the quarterback to be. And a big part of this timing relationship that we talked about earlier is positioning as well. Most receivers should run the post pattern the same but a lot of times, the speed will be different. So, let's go ahead and pick it up again. Some people's speed may have been Brian's half speed, but Brian is a quick guy so let's go ahead and bump it up a notch. Go. Beautiful route and he's crisp with his cut and he's got his head around. He's using all his techniques. Last thing we're going to do is we're going to throw it out to him. And go. And I don't think you can ask much more than that."
