Derek Alford - QB Read and Drill Progressions

Team Culture and Success Metrics Culture Priorities:

The program emphasizes teaching players to be great teammates over simply being great individual players. A great teammate focuses on the success of the group and builds qualities that translate into being a great husband, father, and leader in life.

Key Statistics:

Alford emphasizes that big plays (gains of 12 to 15+ yards) and winning the turnover battle are the two most critical stats that determine football games.

Teaching and Drill Philosophy Continuous Adjustment:

Practice drills are centered around core fundamentals but are slightly altered every two to three weeks to throw new variables at the players and prevent boredom.

Stealing Reps:

The team uses football-specific drill work at 50% to 100% intensity as their physical warm-up rather than traditional, non-functional tracks like high knees or butt kicks.

Quarterback Progressions:

Player installation begins in January using media and board work, progressing from air drills and half-line reads up to full team and blitz situations. Older quarterbacks are also tasked with helping teach the younger players.

Run and Pass Game Execution Run Game Fundamentals:

Focuses heavily on high-and-tight ball security, covering the ball in traffic, body lean, and leg drive to consistently gain extra yards while falling forward.

Pass Game Discipline:

Teaches quarterbacks to maintain a tight "triangle" position with both hands on the ball near the chest. Drill work prioritizes keeping the quarterback's eyes downfield to feel the defensive rush rather than looking at it directly.

RPO Reading:

The offense utilizes run-pass options (RPOs) out of two-by-two formations where the quarterback's eyes stay in the middle to read multiple linebackers post-snap. As always let us know if we can help you in any way! We are here to serve coaches!
