How about this passing idea!

Hey coaches, what do you think about this passing idea? I got this idea from a eflfanatic thread. Why not combine the passing stick method with the TTQB passing. For example, 1) measure your pass as if you were going to use the passing sticks when attempting the pass with a TTQB. 2) Place the appropriate stick on the receiver in the direction of your pass. 3) defense adjusts to react to the ball.4) turn the board on until the receiver either hits the target or runs the length of the target, (NOTE: the receiver would only have to run the distance of the stick for the pass to be attempted). 5) Now, the offense makes the TTQB pass attempt. If the defense hits the target first, then the pass attempt would be automaticly incomplete. If the offensive receiver turned and did not complete his route by either not hitting the target or not making the distance then the pass would be overthrown (incomplete). This would allow a more realistic pass defense against a superior TTQB passer. The defense would get that 5 or 8 yard reaction time to get in the passing lanes or force an incompletion! I would just use the red or white stick for all the receiver routes. Anything beyond the white length would be the white stick.

the problem with that technic is that the passing is decomposed in 2 moves : running to the ball and hitting the target. For me it adds too much advantages to Defense team.

The defense will be able to simply put a player or two (during defense pivots adjustements) on the target line of vision +the fact they can hit the target directly, not speaking of the classic "blocking" technic, it will make the passing attempts really hard I believe.

Hey Demitri, I am a very good passer with the TTQB. Try this method on the board and see how interesting and more realistic this approach can be. It creates more difficult passes for dead eye TTQB passers. Instead of just popping a wide open receiver who runs all the way or gains 50 yards on a 3rd and 20, the defense can create difficult passing angles for the TTQB. Instead of just bullet passes on a line, the coach may have to lob or thrown over a defender for more precise completions. I would challenge coaches to run 10 or 20 simulation pass plays with this method and see how interesting this actually is!

I just wanted to say that in this technique the receiver would not have to hit the target in order for the TTQB to get an attempt. The receiver would simply just have to run at least the length of the target or past the target to get an attempt. Instead, the defense must hit the target first in order for the TTQB not to get a pass attempt.

that's the key point in my opinion. For a average (or bad) level TTQB passer, your technic (wich is very creative, and certainly very interesting for skilled TTQb passers, as you said) may be too complex
