PASS SIM NATION COACHES,

THIS IS FROM A BOOK !

DEALING WITH PRESSURE DEFENSE
The following factors illustrate how a tough, poised quarterback must deal with pressure defenses.

1) He must have a built in timing mechanism to tell him when to cut the ball loose.
2)he should possess a complete understanding of his receivers pass routes and their match ups. This knowledge will make his decision making process much easier. This factor is of paramount importance when the quarterback has a reduced amount of time to throw.
3)Every pass must be thrown where only the good guy can get it. the only really bad pass in an interception.

HOW THIS TRANSLATES ONTO THE THE MINIATURE FOOTBALL
CIRCUIT

1)This is where getting rid of the ball in that 2 second time frame comes into play. Until you get use to it, i would go 4 seconds, down to 3 seconds until you are comfortable and confident passing in that time frame.

2)THIS IS WHY LETTING THE RECEIVERS GET DOWN FIELD IS IMPORTANT. So you can develop their pass routes via playing stops.
Whether you play 2 stops or 3 stops, after each stop you can angle that receiver in any direction to simulate him making a cut or a double move.
Placing the stick down is his last cut/mpve towards the ball.
Regarding their match ups, you should look to see if your wr's are faster than the defenses corners. You should see if they are double teamed.
You should look and see if they are in a zone. ALWAYS LOOK WHERE THE SAFTIES ARE FIRST. Once you see all of this, then you will develop a game plan on how to attack that defense. if your wr's are that much faster than the db's. You can run them straight up the sideline for 1 stop and go for a bomb. That means just place the longest stick you use and see if your receiver is skilled enough to stay on course and run the ball down. THATS IF THE SAFETY IS NOT COMING OVER RIGHT AWAY. In every football game you se a qb just air it out taking a chance on the long ball.

3)PLACE THE STICK DOWN AT AN ANGLE WHERE YOUR WR HAS A BETTER CHANCE THAN THE DEFENSE TO CATCH THE BALL ! Just like pro qb's having to throw the ball in different areas near the wr. For instance, over the left or right shoulder. Placing the stick down at just the right angle can determine a catch or a pick. IF YOUR GOING TO PLAY THIS WAY, REMEMBER THE 1 BASE LENGTH DEFENSIVE MOVE. It's up to you to play that way, i think it adds realism to the defense.
