Default mantaray draser point passing

For philly fanatic.

first off, the way i play is totally quarterback driven. The qb on either team is the most important person on the field in football. So, every teams desire is to have a smart quarterback who can lead and run the team with his decisions and execution on the field.

1)The qb gets the play in from the sideline. In miniature football terms, the dice rolls will represent the plays coming in from the side line.Here, the dice are taking the play calling out of your hands. You, the solitaire player.

Upon receiving the call from the sideline, it is up to YOU, WHO IS NOW THE QB ON THE FIELD to run the play/team

1)The roll of the dice is YOU, WHO IS NOW THE HEAD COACH/OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. The number that the dice displays is the play call that the offensive coordinator has chosen and relays it down to the sideline. In which that numbered dice roll/play call is signaled in to YOU THE QB NOW.

You rolling the dice waiting for the number is the equivalent of a qb looking over at the sideline waiting for the call.

More, just saving this before i lose it.

QUARTERBACK PLAY

1)RUN THE OFFENSE
2EXECUTE THE GAME PLAN
3)MAKE SMRT DECISIONS
4)TAKE CARE OF THE BALL
5)GO THROUGH HIS PROGRESSION
6)DO NOT TAKE A SACK ON FIRST DOWN
***MAKE ACCURATE THROWS
meaning, leading the receiver with precision passing putting the ball where he has a better opportunity to receive it than the db's have to intercept it.

In my style of play, THE STANDARD in leading the receiver is a 4 yard passing stick to be placed in any direction near the receiver.
I wanted to challenge myself and my accuracy to feel like a real quarterback. i wanted to feel the 2 seconds to pass pressure while making an accurate throw to the intended receiver.
As i stated earlier

1)dice 1-4 the qb must throw it to that receiver the dice roll/play call signaled in. die roll 28 can say ( post route first stop then out route towards left sideline to the left side receiver second stop)
state left side receiver, state left side slot receiver.
The left side receiver is getting the ball

more don't leave

Now that the receiver has been chosen by the dice roll, also his precise route. IT'S TIME TO DROP BACK AND PASS. many things can happen like any other NFL or COLLEGIATE pass play. I will talk defense a little later. But id the die roll for the defense indicates the right side corner can let that receiver go and come on a safety blitz. originally, i would have that DB turned and ready to run down field with that intended receiver.
The dice roll takes the defense out of your hands also. because that WR is thinking the DB is going to bump him at the line then turn and run. The dice roll says let him run into coverage while the DB comes on a blitz from that side. I would simply turn that DB back around and move him 2 be lengths to the side AND RIGHT ON THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. If the running backs were directed to be elsewhere via the dice roll for the play. That Db will come in on that blitz with a free shot at the qb. Being i cant stop the board when i want, i must hope he does not get there before the first stop or the QB will be sacked if he hits him. [b] THIS IS WHERE THE 2 SECONDS TO PASS COMES IN.

Lets say that DB does not get there before the stop, he is right neat the qb .
In miniature football we must stop the board to attempt a pass. In real football, technically, that db is still coming full speed ready to hit hat qb.

1) in real football, you must begin your 2 second count as soon as the ball is hiked.

2)in miniature football, the 2 second count begins when the board is stopped. the stop of the board on a pass play simulates the ball being hiked. so when the board stops, that is the qb dropping back or receiving the ball while in the shotgun.

1)boards stops
2)immediatley count 1 one thousand 2 one thousand. THEN GET RID OF IT.

FINALLY THE LASER POINT

Now that we have route running, intended receivers and why the 2 second count out of the way. IT TIME FOR THE ACCURACY PART OF THE QB'S GAME.

1)RECEIVER RUNS HIS ROUTE
2)EXCEPT FOR RED ZONE PLAY, a 4 yard stick is the standard and can be placed in ANY DIRECTION OF THE INTENDED RECEIVER DOWNFIELD.

**With that said, it can be so simple to just lay down THE 4 YARD STICK near the intended receiver once the play stops. I needed a bigger challenge.
this is where the laser coms in.
I give my self 2 SECONDS to point that laser THE STANDARD 4 YARDS near the receiver This simulates myself being accurate throwing the ball

1)point laser near intended receiver
2)Then take the 4 yard stick to measure if i was accurate.

THERE IS A REASON FOR ALL OF THIS. The big reason, THE DEFENDERS.
Beiing that the STANDARD is a 4 yard stick, any point of the laser that is less than 4 yards is a pass that was thrown poorly and is off the mark.

PENALTY FOR THIS BAD THROW

EXAMPLE, If the laser point is 3 yards from the receiver. The ball is placed where the 3 yards from the receiver laser point is, THEN, The 4 yard stick is placed directly in front of the ball. The ball is now moved and placed in front of the 4 stick WHICH NOW RESULTS IN THE WR MUST RUN 7 YARDS TO GET THE BALL STAD OF 4 YARDS. That is the penalty for being off the mark.
If i would have gotten the 4 yards from the receiver estimation correct, the receiver would have a better chance to receive it since it was on the mark,
Since it was off the mark and is now 7 yards away, defenders may be closer to that 7 yard mark which will result in throwing an interception.

A remedy for this is to estimate just a little longer throw, maybe 5 yards from the receiver. THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR THROWING IT LONGER.
BUT, what if the defenders have a slight advantage if the ball is thrown/laser pointed at 5 or 6 yards away. But it will be thrown right where the receiver needs it @ 4 yards away to beat the defenders to it.

its a cat and mouse game.

You the QB MUST

1)Identify where the DB'S are
2)Find the right area to place the ball near the WR
3)BE AS ACCURATE AS YOU CNAN

ANY BAD ILL ADVISED THROWS WILL RESULT IN
1)THE ROUTE BEING JUMPED
2)BALL INTERCEPTED

How i practice is grab figure and place 4 yard sticks all around him. I point the lasers in front of these sticks to get a feel for the 4 yard distance from the receiver. its just like a qb practicing his accuracy and timing patterns
during weekly practices

This is the system i wanted to create for myself and it works out extremely well. I DO FEEL LIKE A QB. pointing that laser just right is really hard. Ireally like how this method has turned out.

Thanx
