7 Indy Quarterback RPO Drills You Need to Be Using - Josh Lindke

For your quarterback to effectively execute your RPO game, you need to work indy drills day in and day out to develop their footwork and arm angles in addition to your teams sessions.

Josh Lindke, Head Football Coach at Toledo St. Francis de Sales High School (OH) shows seven of his drills that he uses to develop those skills in his quarterbacks. In addition to the drills, Coach Lindke shows game applications in his presentation.

The video is a portion of his Glazier Drive clinic on QB Drills to Improve Pass/RPO Game: Teaching Your QB to See Pre & Post Snap Pictures with Cross & Tags


When developing your quarterback drills:

🏈Simple is better.  They run drills during the week based on what the game plan is for the coming Friday.

🏈Focus on the lower half.  Footwork is critical.  

🏈If the quarterback already throws the ball well, don't change his mechanics. 

🏈They work both RPO and dropback drills with their QBs

RPO Philosophy

🏈The philosophy helps with pre and post snap pictures.

🏈Don't get it twisted--RPO means to establish the downhill run.  If you have numbers in the box, run it. Calling RPOs doesn't mean you have to pass.  The idea is to pull people out of the box with your influence on the outside.

🏈Reps are king--Indy, Group, Team, Tape
