all qbs to learn a back position

[gnats67]

Good Lord we are gonna be scary....maybe not this year but eventually we will be the top offensive team in the country!!! I'm so excited I just puked in my mouth a little

Easy now, Podna. Whoa boy.

This sounds like more brilliant strategy from our Head Football Coach. Not so much that we'll have guys jumping all over the place but that when such and such play is called they have more of a third person concept of what's going on. Having been there and all.

Pretty dang smart.

but that this would help the QB's understand what they need to do in terms of pitch-ratio and reads.

Bingo!

When a QB knows and understands everyone's assignment, then he will understand the flow of the play better and ultimately read it better and quicker.

It should help the timing in the passing game also.

confusing thread title

is it QBs learning "A-Back position"
or
is it QBs learning a "back position" which would really mean that that they are learning "a second back position" since the QB is a back and they are already learning that position

i can see the pitch to the A-Back, then he stops and throws back to the QB who has drifted to the other side, then the QB throws downfield to the wide open B-Back who slipped through the line on a corner route

It's the former. From an interview by BB with PJ

My fault they are learning the " a back" position.

I went back and read that interview HD did with AA and I think I interpreted it differently. I took this quote, "There's three positions, really, that can touch the ball and run it," Allen said. "I was interested in learning all of them anyway." to mean the 3 RB positions on the field during our base formation. He might have meant the 3 seperate positions including QB, as was said earlier. That's even better.

I was only having a little fun with the idea of Josh at an AB but rather than speculating on an A-Back option pass I wondered about an A-Back option run. At first I thought with Josh as an AB that we'd have to bring in Jaybo or Tevin or another QB. Then I remembered what AA said. Why give the defense any advanced notice that we're up to something if we can run it with the guys already on the field? Not saying we'd do anything like this . . . it's just fun to have an imagination.

I think Jemea Thomas will be a force at CB and potentially A-Back. It will be interesting to see how Paul uses Nesbitt/Washington in this role.

Tevin Washington has put on some solid weight.
