Just one more day until USC football kicks off for 2009. Here is an old USC presentation from 1980 for anyone interested. Before Paul Hackett blew his reputation as a head coach via his stint with USC he was at one time a highly regarded QB coach and offensive coordinator. Bill Walsh though highly enough [...]

Ron Jenkins had sent me a note expressing thanks for displaying his materials on passing game progressions and QB reads on this site.

Here is a continuation of the previous post depicting some of the more basic QB reads that Ron Jenkins outlines for a sample west style coast offense. Most of these reads are basic to any passing offense so don’t let the west coast moniker get in the way.

If you can follow the basic types of coverage schemes outlined in the previous post Basic QB Reads - Coverages then you should have no problem with some of the basic reads QB’s are taught to make in practice. Ron Jenkins was the former offensive coordinator at El Camino JC and now runs TopGun QB [...]

With Mark Sanchez headed off to the NFL it looks like USC will have a good old fashion QB derby during the Spring and Summer practice sessions. Aaron Corp and Mitch Mustain will be the favorites but Garrett Green and Matt Barkley will get their share of looks as well. Who will win? I have [...]
