Xs & Os: The Levels Concept

[@matasuki]

These are may favorite types of vids. Hearing a NFL pro qb talk about concepts is very insightful

“I think you’re going to DIG it” ... I see what you did there

[@johnellwoodtaylor4769]

I love the simplicity of Tom Moore’s playbook for Manning. This play was simply called Y or H dig. In my opinion, Tom Moore is an underrated genius as an offensive coordinator who was able to keep things simple and yet execute at a high-level. I recall seeing a scan on the run plays from one of the Colts’ Super Bowls. They literally only took four runs into that game. Sorry for going off topic. Ha ha Regarding the levels... I recall reading somewhere that Nick Saban said it’s the toughest pass concept to defend when run correctly. Between Manning loving it and Saban struggling with it, sounds like it should be in everybody’s playbook and mastered.

[@PNW_STEFF]

I like how in this one you said what's best against it 2 man vs levels

[@CJFloden]

Literally hours ago (last night) I was thinking, “He’s gotta have one on Levels that I can watch.” Perfect timing 😎

[@izsakbessenyei801]

This video was a nugget. Always love when you go into your old playbooks, very helpful

[@TheQBSchool]

Glad you like them!

I can't believe you provide all this for free. It's a dream come true.

[@a.spellman5481]

I’ve heard Manning say how this is his favorite concept because it‘s good against so many different coverages so that’s awesome you mention that. I also noticed LSU ran a lot of concepts with all the receivers breaking in the same direction. Wasn’t necessarily levels, but they all would break to the right or left at different depths and made the read so easy to burrow as they all crossed his vision.

Good start to a Thursday right there..

[@TheQBSchool]

Oh yeah!

[@YardratZ]

Awesome. I played college. So you know how that goes. All my film was breaking down pass blocking protection and reading blocks. Knew the pass plays, but the terminology was confusing. Just started coaching so it’s GREAT to see someone breaking it down smoothly.

Really useful and brilliantly explained. Thanks JT

[@funkdocdoppelganger7720]

Not really .... the playbooks are designed to sound confusing.... that's why people tend to think QBs are supposedly so smart... it's a bunch of jibberish , and most QBs that explain it didn't even play that much or had a lot of success...

[@jwfaure]

JT, have you seen/done Levels on the backside of 3x1, where single receiver runs the deep in, and then the back can run the drag or fin?

[@josayeee]

Great vid! Nice Doxa!

[@jonbunton]

"I think you're going to dig it..." I see what you did there.

[@TheQBSchool]

[@mjciavola]

I'm having trouble distinguishing between the Levels and Drive concepts.

[@Mr92094]

From what I can gather a drive uses a drag instead of an in as the short route and usually the drag goes in motion first to get more space. And JT can correct this if I’m wrong but the in on levels is to be caught on the same side as the LOS while with drive it’s to be caught on the other side across the center

[@TheQBSchool]

Levels run from the backside looks and can operate in a similar fashion to drive as the non primary concept, e.g., drive out. For me, Drive is usually a seven step drop under center. Originally, it was almost always the primary and you would throw it on the other side of the center. Also, creating a west coast staple triangle. Not true for primary levels. There it's a 5 step drop and thrown quickly. Also, usually the #1 or Outide WR usually runs the drive. Not true in the backside levels. Hope those subtle differences help. I agree though, it can be difficult to tell difference. In HS ball, we carry drive and frontside levels. We manipulate drive to operate as our backside levels ish concept to get full field reads.

[@mjciavola]

@@TheQBSchool Thanks, JT. I see the difference especially by re-watching the video that you did on Drive a year ago.

[@connorhfishing213]

The way we run it at my highschool we go 3 by 1 and have 5 yard in, 10 yard dig, and another 5 yard in

[@TheQBSchool]

yup. i didn't even talk about it outta 3x1. That's a good play too.

[@justinannesi4521]

Kyle Shanahan is just like his dad lol when you showed the Shanahan version where they have a FB motioning out and running a Go all I could think about is how Kyle Juszczyk has definitely caught a TD on that play

[@seanmcnamara8522]

Hi, I'm from Germany and really hyped for your channel. There's a bit of a language barrier for all the "football type wording". You're oftentimes using the word "passbro??" e. g. at 6:14 - can't find a translation. Can you help me?

[@TheQBSchool]

Sure. I've been there. Pass pro. Short for pass protection.

Hey man, i coach youth qbs and love your vids and learn alot from them. Just a general question, qhat is your favorite offensive scheme?

[@Shawnshaw1990]

I want to know even though it’s says double right 2 hey f branch what does it sound like when the coach says it does it have a name cause I’ve listen to Jon gruden give a play and it sounds so crazy

[@TheQBSchool]

Maybe cause he’s crazy

[@Shawnshaw1990]

@@TheQBSchool 😂 your right about that man but I’m trying to be a coach and I want to know how to give my offense a play and then tell them hey audible it with this do I have any tips on what we need to look for if we need to audible it to a different pass play or maybe a run play thank you for your time JT

[@todda3812]

Great stuff. Thx.

[@phillipemery572]

JT, how did Mike teach you to set for that "opposite Hot" concept? Was it all eye discipline? It seems like that concept just sets you up to throw into a "dropper" in a zone blitz if you're not careful.

[@TheQBSchool]

post snap confirmation in drop. subtle eye confirmation is blurry presnap.

[@walterpolky2948]

Would this be as considered an "Air Raid" Drive Concept?

Can u explain how I right act 6 544 is called maybe it has a name right like u could call it eagle eye right blah lol ya know I’m just curious how gruden will say zebra pitman x choice kill it with green I’m like what is he saying

Hi JT! I'm an aspiring scout trying to make my own content on KZbin similar to yours! I am, however, a novice when it comes to video editing software. What do you use that allows you to draw on these videos and images? It's the one thing that I am struggling to find that allows me to get my viewers to see what I see. Thank you!

[@themaddenmechanic5021]

Brotha JT can we get a flood concept.?

[@TheQBSchool]

Good idea

[@neelr8119]

Interesting, great work as always JT One thing though that confused me - I've heard announcers refer to plays with a 5, 15, and 25 yard outs as "levels" (e.g. the Minneapolis Miracle). Is that just a misnomer or can it also be applied that way?

[@Terrencetidbits]

The Minneapolis Miracle was more of a Flood Concept. Thielen ran a 7 route (corner), Rudolph ran the out and Diggs ran the deep corner (7 heaven). That was the playcall.

[@neelr8119]

@@Terrencetidbits Makes sense, appreciate it. I heard it referred to as levels by a few people, assuming that was just analyst ignorance

Can you break down the Blaine Gabbert play when he took over from Tom Brady and spiked the ball into the ground to put the Bucs out of their misery? To this untrained eye, Gabbert looked like he was throwing a temper tantrum -- i.e. I hate you Saints! I hate you I hate you I hate you! What was the wide receiver's route -- 3 deep?
