I keep hearing about how a lot of quarterback coaches really study the biomechanics of the position. I was wondering if anyone could recommend books to read, podcasts to listen to, or people to talk to on this issue.

it would be interesting to think about how to study the biomechanics of everything else that happens in a football game
there are probably all sorts of subtleties in things like the biomechanics of blocking people, or getting off blocks, or making crisp cuts, that are poorly understood, probably even at the highest levels of the game

For Getting off blocks he says he has seen guys from High School up through the pros talk about hands in getting off blocks, but that hands don't matter if your feet are not correct. As far as movement I have studied my ILBs to see how do they actually move in a game versus how I teach them to move. They were not exactly moving how I coached them to, so rather than beat a dead horse, I looked at how do they move and taught them how to move more efficiently using how they play the game. Play to their strengths rather than to my limited knowledge.

dsqa No one better than Darin Slack. What this guy said!!!! I got certified with QBA in summer of 2011 and worked a few camps. I wish my schedule would have allowed me to continue to work with them because it was an awesome learning experience. My QBs have always appreciated the teaching style and techniques I learned from Coach Slack and the rest of the NFA staff! If they could teach this former OL to be a QB coach, it will work for anyone! DSQA and the rest of the NFA staff are the best in the business. AJ
