When I subbed to the QB school last year, these were the type of videos that I was looking for. You’re really delivering.

[@bhn887]

The only thing that could make these better would be plays from live games. Great work!

[@saigundlapalli3548]

Is it possible to get some actual film to see the play in action?

[@TheGuitarBling]

Love this video man. I just watch football, but I'll be watching with more appreciation for what QB's are doing because of your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@TheQBSchool]

Thanks, JS.

[@bernardoquege4097]

JT, your content just keeps getting better and better; these playbook concept breakdowns are great!

[@TheQBSchool]

Thanks, BQ.

[@Dunkaholic18]

This channel is an absolute gold mine. Thank you for what you do.

[@rolotony4010]

Thanks JT! I always learn so much watching your videos. Deepens my love for the game.

[@EvanMoran207]

Just want to say.. late to the party but very appreciateive of your content. Lots of people post lots of stuff but your delivery is the best i've seen. You are a great teacher but you don't need me to tell you that. Thank you ffor breaking this & all your concept talks down in such a way that a relatively unskilled middle school coach can learn & use it. Best of luck to you.

[@waynewahlenmeier6879]

Your video series is awesome!! Keep it up, your are taking my understanding of the game to a new level.

[@timdavid3574]

Just found your channel - OUTSTANDING content! Great job, please keep it going, I learn so much from each video. Thanks!

Thanks, Tim.

amazing content jt with great explanations

[@colonelrobertsjr.7882]

Funny thing you said that about the first day of training camp!! When I was looking into Auburn's 2010 playbook and saw that this was their top dropback passing on day #2 Install. It's definitely a great concept to learn. Thanks again for the great knowledge and input!!

[@washredskin887]

JT i love watching this stuff. Takes me back to when I was a Qb in high school in 1985 to 87. We ran a version of Coryell .. Everything was numbers and it told everyone exactly what to do. I never liked the " west coast" terminology because it does the opposite. It's all pure memory and that seems to make it harder for everyone to understand.

[@ArmsandArmorCorner]

As a former high school QB these are really fun to watch. Not to mention your presentation and full knowledge is very easy to follow. Thanks JT!

[@jmarcguy]

These videos are great! Really enhances my enjoyment of the game.

[@rickpat5626]

Great video man, keep 'em comin,'!

[@COInTexas]

Just subscribed, liked, and faved this video. Great insight into how teams use the same concepts, but name them differently. The Green Bay and New Orleans plays are both west coast lingo, but with there own twist. Really enjoyed it and hopefully you breakdown more concepts straight form the NFL playbooks.

[@lukegsfieldreview5039]

I played defense and would often have to learn these concepts but the way you explain it was way better then my past coach

[@chrislong3620]

I just watched the Jalan Hurts interview with Steve Marriucci. Marriucci draws up the drive concept, I am thinking, I know this. Sure enough I am following along and understanding everything coach is saying. Keep up the great work.

You’re welcome.

Skip Bayless ... Brady has been in the same Offense his entire career... The Patriots Run the Erhardt-Perkins system . Of course sayin “Brady has run 1 Offense / or that the Patriots Run the Erhardt- Perkins System” is simplistic . Trying to explain the shifts in the Patriots O would take too long - essentially tho if you understand the Fact that Belichick is known for being “game-plan specific” against his Opponents. Meaning his goin to look at what you do good / what your not so good at / & he will then design that weeks game- plan to look to exploit your weaknesses while hiding his own Teams . If a Team has slow LBs who can’t cover well the Pats will most likely look to get their RBs into the Passing gm more . Again there are too many examples to go over here . But the Facts are - Brady has been in the Erhardt- Perkins Offense system his entire career - Brady has made the system his own over the yrs - The Patriots more so than any other Team are “game plan specific “- the morph into whatever they have to in order to exploit weaknesses & playoff their own strengths . Hope that helps ya a lil bit - sorry twas so long & hopefully I didn’t confuse ya even more

[@michaellinch5828]

Skip Bayless - no prob happy to help ... there are many many teams in the NFL who say “we do what we do “ meaning We play our style regardless of what the opponents do/ strengths & weaknesses. The Pats are the polar opposite - Belichick prides himself on his Teams ability to b fluid . If there a Team such as the Seahawks in SB49 who have great outside cornerbacks - who’s specialize in covering the deep outside passing gm The Pats weren’t going to design a game plan to bang their heads against the wall by passing deep - instead the Pats ran horizontal routes as opposed to vertical - same thing in this past SB vs Rams ... great outside CBs thus twas unlikely Hogan was in for a big night - contrast that with the Philadelphia SB were the Pats felt very good running vertical Routes against their CBs .

[@michaellinch5828]

Skip Bayless .. most definitely the Patriots are one of if not the most difficult Organizations to play for . Belichick demands a lot from his players ... he places a high priority on football smarts - he’ll take a smart - less physically gifted guy as opposed to the “freak of nature” .Also Bill prioritizes players who are “multiple” ( the more you can do the better chance you have )

[@lunaisbig7]

Can you talk a lot more detail about the first 15 plays scripted. And what are they looking for? Also, do they every deviate from those 15 please, etc. Thanks so much. Absolutely love this channel!

[@jnkjnk-ye2gu]

At 6:47 with what you said about reading defenses (in some offenses) on this concept, could defenses pick up on that in film? If you come out in this look (and over the course of studying tendencies), would it be possible for an elite defense to show zone and try to bait the qb into throwing that first read?

[@bbbabrock]

[@johnhawkin8784]

Hey JT. I don't know if this is a stupid question but you know how the weak side is the side opposite the TE? What happens if you are in something like a 12 personell and got 2 TEs on opposite sides? Do you say who the will is on the line of scrimmage or does it get pre-determined?

[@omar9654]

I could be wrong, but maybe the will is just whichever Lb is on the opposite side of where the play is going at that point, not the actual will on the def roster. Same way a will or sam can be considered a mike on a play. Could be wrong tho

[@nothingforgrantedPS23]

[@omar9654]

JT love the show. I know this is the Qb school, but i was wondering how the QB, o line/rb/te, communicate who is picking up who on a rush especially blitzes and stunts. I know there are ground rules that go off of the mike, who is closest, and the protection on the play call. But literally anyone can drop back into coverage, rush, blitz, stunt, even corners. How is that practiced to identify and pickup and for everyone to be on the same page, especially when defenses rotate or adjust last minute. Also, being the MLB or safety you can be the "qb" of the defense. Are plays just as simple as saying cover 2 man in the huddle and everyone knows their assignments? Can a MLB kill or alert a def play? How is that echoed to the rest of the defense on field with all the noise. I remember seeing a video of donta Hightower signaling a screen play to someone across the formation by motioning his hand in front of his face similar to moving a visor up and down.

[@savagedevron6913]

omar9654 it varies from team to team for both your questions. To communicate blocking some teams use the center, while others use the QB. There’s a variety of calls that communicate the front (3 down/ 4 down, even/odd, etc) then there’s a slide call or just “big on big” and the back will go away from the slide normally. How many men slide is based on the front. Normally 3 man slide vs even front and 4 down vs odd front.

[@chriscraveskfc]

Hey JT, love the content. What do you think the main reasons for Jameis Winston’s struggles with turnovers in the league are? I know he’s always been aggressive dating back to FSU, but some of his INT’s are ridiculous. Is it the game speed adjustment, poor vision, coaching, the yips? Let me know what you think, thanks.

[@paulgaither]

I coach amateur adults in South America. Your videos like this are invaluable. What would consider to be a good sister play for this? Something that can appear the same but have different breaks to keep the defense honest?

[@jrw_12]

A mesh concept. If you set it up like the first diesel run the Z on a shallow cross to get rub action

[@fontolan942]

is this also called the levels concept ?

[@ligayabarlow5077]

Not true Rodgers was first in franchise history to get perfect passer rating. Bart Starr earned 158.3 completing 8 of 9 for 201 yards and 2 TDs including a 91 yarder to Boyd Dowler in a 35-21 win at L.A. against the Rams, the final game of the 1960 season. Halfback Paul Hornung (whose #5 should be retired) kicked five extra points, ran for two TDs, and threw a 40 yard TD in the contest.

[@mikenfl84]

Around 7:30 you said deuce means 12 personnel and the z would line up at TE. Wouldn't that be 21 personnel or am I misunderstanding something?

[@thesavageavenger4477]

Wow. I knew being a QB was really cerebral, but holy shit. Thats a lot of info to remember for ONE play. 😳

@@TheQBSchool Well, I guess what they are called most often. I'm a flag football coach. With no high school experience.
