9 QB EDDs to Create Efficiency in Your Quick Passing Game - Ryan Larsen

To move the ball consistently with a quick passing game, your quarterback needs to be well schooled in getting the ball out quickly.  Here are 9 Every Day Drills to improve his fundamentals to get throws off FAST!

The full presentation from Ryan Larsen, Head Coach, Carnegie Mellon University on Fundamentals and Concepts in a Quick Passing Game out of a Multiple Spread Offense is available on Glazier Drive.


Quick game philosophy 

  • Get the ball out FAST
  • Get the ball to Green Grass
  • Give the OLine a new pitch in protection
  • Two for one install (Quick Game + RPO Game)
  • ID your best plays and run them in MULTIPLE WAYS + Have answers off them.  Formations, Tempos, etc.  Double Moves

Quick Game Fundamentals and Drill Work

  • Toes at 5 yards Deep in the Gun
  • 1 Step Team (we already have our depth for quick game protection)
    Get points aligned (Throwing instep OR off shoulder/hip/ankle)
    Right to Right = "Catch, Wheel, Throw with Back Foot (Right Foot)
    Righty to Left - "Catch, Set, Throw" with Back Foot (Right Foot)
  • Drops in Individual Time only during camp/installation of plays.
    Otherwise, we coach drops in Routes on Air and 1 on 1s
    We use drill work to reinforce drops and create a sense of urgency with a game.  All drills are made to improve fundamentals, not fill time.
