How to Read a Football Field as a Quarterback

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Sean Hobson for Expert Village. What we want to talk about right now is working with our quarterbacks one of the most important things that you have to tell your quarterbacks and that your quarterbacks cannot do to get turnovers is to stare down their receivers. You want to make sure that, first of all, when your quarterback drops back in his three steps drop his head, first of all, should be down the field, down the middle of the field. Now, you're always going to have an intended receiver and then you're going to have secondary receivers or check-down receivers. Those are the second and the third guys that you're going to throw the ball to. So, first of all you want him to look down the field then pick up his primary receiver, that's the first guy. If the first guy's not open he's got to look off of that first guy and find somebody else. Remember, we talked earlier, when he's surveying the field he wants to keep his feet moving as he surveys the field, never locking on a receiver and stepping towards that receiver and throwing it or he's going to get the ball picked off. We want him to look off the defender if he can to the side and then pick up the other receiver and step down the field. But the major thing is, you can never have your quarterback lock on a receiver or you're going to throw a lot of interceptions."
