COACHES,

When a qb breaks the huddle his number 1 job is to see what coverage the defense is in. A good indicator is to look for the safeties first. TWO safeties back with 1 on each hash mark indicates they are in a cover 2. This means they have any post route covered and can sprint toward there respective sides of the field to help the corner back who is chasing the WR. Im a big advocate of turning the corners and running with the receivers. it just keeps the passing game flowing as it should be. Everyone is running to a certain area and that makes pass simulation more interesting.. Im not big on blocking the receiver at the line of scrimmage to simulate bump and run. having the receiver have to fight to get of the line of scrimmage. Receivers are taught many hand movements and feet shuffling to beat he corner off the line of scrim. In our hobby, they are both on square blocks without hand movements and foot shuffling. It s a lot easier to watch them run down field together and do their jobs.

I have stated before, the stick is the receivers break on the ball in the direction you place it. The football placed down at the end of the stick is the result of the qb THROWING TO AN AREA FOR THE RECEIVER TO RUN AND CATCH IT. These timed patterns are practiced everyday by pro teams.
The QB throws the ball to an area when the receiver is not looking for the ball yet. that is worked out in practice. The WR knows he must run upfield a certain amount of yards then break on the ball KNOWING IT HAS ALREADY BEEN THROWN AND HEADED HIS WAY.

WITH LINEBACKERS DROPPING, SAFETIES CROSSING OVER TO HELP THE CORNERS. The qb's job is to place that ball in the smallest of windows to complete a pass. Last night i saw a defensive end drop into coverage right away after the snap that resulted in the qb throwing an interception.
Take into account some defensive schemes will have them sitting in zones.

Arule of them is if safeties are that far back, always thow the ball crossing in front of them. They are in better position to intercept anything if you ry to throw it behind them. pass simulation in our hobby teaches you about route running and defensive secondary play.

IN DIAGRAM 1
if your using a snap of he ball which is a quick buzz of the field.(playing stops of course) .That corner is playing so far off that wr, i would place a short stick in front of the wr right away after that snap to simulate a quick hit downfield to pick up maybe 4 to 5 yards. That would be good on 3rd down and short to pick up the first down . That would teach the defense not to play that off of the wr. Once the defense play tighter, then the receiver can run down field for many many other routes and catches.

pass simulation has brought detailed thinking and qb play to the game of electric football.
