ART BRILES: QB PLAY

General Football Thoughts:

Face balanced defense, run unbalanced offense

Make defense respect every receiver (dictate to them)

When you see a !safety look: "# $robably no blit%# &un the ball

When you see ' or " safety: "# $robable blit%

# What checks are available

lit% * +asy on

-rop . or / into coverage * 0ard on

1se shifts, motions, and formations to create confusion and slo2 a defense do2n

$ut your 3 best football players in the middle of the field

-on4t have starters as backups (don4t sit a guy 2ho could play 5start6 at another

position)

7f you kno2 blit% is coming, shift into no back and look for the 2eakness (runninglanes, coverage mismatches, etc8)

9s an ;, get to kno2 the -;4s personality (is he a gambler, is he conservative,

2hat does he like to do)

;hange up snap count

Thro2 into a blit%, and run opposite

$lay ;alling:

if you don4t,

slo2 the game do2n
