I want to take the time to say "thank you". I'm an Australian guy who only started watching NFL in 2009; I've never played it and I didn't grow up with it, so learning this sort of stuff has been really difficult. The way you present all your material is fascinating to me and I am starting to learn the game in ways I never have before. Please keep it up and know that you're making a really positive impact for those that watch. Jim.
The amount of information you are providing is extraordinary! Even more extraordinary is how much information NFL players and coaches digest! I am very humbled watching this, thanks for the awesome content!
Browns fan and high school football coach here. It’s crazy how I watched this video last week to better understand the short post concept and then the browns first TD vs the Steelers was a variation of the short post from a condensed set to Jarvis Landry. Even had #1 and #2 away from the post running a comeback and seam respectively.
This content is absolutely incredible. I'm excited to share it with my friends and colleagues. Love the analytical nature of this. A question I have is: as a OL, TE, WR, HB/TB, what do you have to know as far as the play design and progression of reads? What is the depth of knowledge that most position players are required to understand?
If you want to be the best, then you should know every play as well as the coaching staff knows it, from every angle. For example, if you are a "catcher" who knows the play as well as the coaching staff, then when the play breaks down, you will be able to make a better adjustment without even communicating directly with the QB (if he also knows the play as well as a coach does).
I don't know about professional or college football, but as a high school football player, we're focused and drilled mainly only on what we need to know, to make a play. However, after you've played for just a few weeks, day in and day out, as a wide receiver, you'll be able to name the type of block that a pulling guard has to achieve to make a certain run play, since you're just digesting so much football and when you play then you understand everything. So it's really down to experience I'd say, but I'm not expert.
JT, thanks for what you’re doing man! I’m a college QB and I really enjoy your stuff. Particularly the Xs and Os videos. I’d love to see more of them. There’s lots of guys on UA-cam analyzing players and stuff, but they don’t have the knowledge to do the Xs and Os like you can. Especially now that coronavirus won’t let me watch sports, I’m in need of more content! 😂
The QB School WOW I had no idea y’all knew each other! 😂 I’m gonna be all over him about that! On that note I’m curious, could you maybe talk about your opinions on the R4 system in a video? We’re reading Dub’s book about it now and I’m curious what a former nfl player thinks of it.
This video is incredible. Love the detail and ESPECIALLY enjoyed hearing you talk about the read progression. Super helpful to have the 1/2/2.5/3 labels as well as you mentioning where to look during the drop before looking to the short post. Great stuff JT
This is a really excellent video, thank you for uploading. The level of analysis and detail on how a qb goes through a specific play and their progressions is truly outstanding. It would be great to see some more of those old playbooks.
new format, new lighting toss in the Mason Rudolph play you mentioned so we can see it in motion, or better yet find some tape of yourself running said play
Coach O'Sullivan has an information channel--not a gossip channel nor a hot take channel. He helps me look at an offensive formation pre-snap and guessing how the offense is going to attack the defense. In statistics there is something called Bayes Theorem which deals with probability and guessing an outcome of an event is based on prior knowledge of similar events. According to the theorem the more information, the more prior knowledge you have that better at guessing you're going to be. Coach O'Sullivan helps me to be a better guesser.
As a 49ers fan, I would love to get a pdf file of what you guys ran in that rebuilding era under Nolan and Martz. Did you know that in the video game NFL Head Coach 07, it was really easy to turn J. T. O'Sullivan into the next Kurt Warner with the Mike Martz system?
Great content! I've heard football people say that there are only so many ways to attack a defense, which is true. You show that, while the basic plays are the same, there is an incredible amount of nuance to this stuff. Everyone on the offense has to understand the concept and the nuance. Thanks again for these insights. I don't see this level of X and O analysis anywhere else.
I download free pdf files of old NF playbooks from footballxos.com They have so much stuff there, including the Bill Walsh QB Manual, Bill Belichick's 85 Giants defensive playbook, stuff by Monte Kiffin and much more.
If nothing, my amount of respect for "average" and replacement QBs have skyrocketed with your videos on concepts. The amount of things to remember on the spot is so big, given the play is often a matter of seconds with very little visibility. I'm wondering though, with your obvious qualities as a player (since your numbers in game, accross franchises, are pretty good according to your online resume), why were you not a first option QB? what do you think you did miss (or so you were told) ? I mean ... Blake Bortles was in the NFL for so many years...
Love your work appreciate it. Can you do Dak next & show how he has progressed since last year especially in mechanics. Keeping his back foot on the ground, using hips instead of all arm throws, Moore helping him identify open man etc?
Love the Channel I do have a question. The concept of short post and the other concept of Texas, What are the differences specifically when it comes to the post or the Texas/angle route? Would love to know what they are, If they are the same what is the reason for the two concepts? I would think depth of the route may be the main difference but would love to hear your thoughts.
How often will a team run a given concept in a game? You showed us how NE ran the same play 3 times in a row. In another video by NFL Films, they had a CB talk about howa team ran the same play twice in a row but flipped it. How often might you run this play (from various fronts/shifts) in a game, and how often would one actually even hit that post... as opposed to being forced to go to your 2nd or third reads?
Despite lots of visual aid I still have trouble with or have only a vague idea of 25%-50% of the jargon. I understand cornerback but does a cloud corner mean the player is doing some kind of zone? Is a robber(?) usually a middle linebacker?Are there any youtube channels that help with jargon?
When you say 4 weak talking about the FS what are you referring to? Blitz? Coverage? Makes me appreciate how hard it is to play qb or really any position
Ok so what do they actually mean when analysts say that new coaches want to implement a new offense when most of this stuff is just the same thing?????
Really liking the direction this channel is going. 👍🏼
Thanks, BLK. I appreciate the support.
This is the most amazing video I've ever seen on UA-cam. I've been waiting my whole football life for this level of detail. Football nerds rejoice!
I want to take the time to say "thank you".

I only started watching this year. Another Australian too. Thanks so much
Great video, please do more of these in the future!

Good stuff JT, your content is really helping me piece together my first playbook over in the UK

I really liked this. It's nice to get some idea about the complexities involved in running a simple POST route. I hope to see more content like this.
Please more of these topics. This one was great!
Just did another.

Tell your HC that he couldn’t handle me in high school. The middle of the field was always open.

Please do more of this! When you were in Chicago my brothers and I all wanted to see you start. Keep this content coming. It’s great!
This is a really excellent video, thank you for uploading. The level of analysis and detail on how a qb goes through a specific play and their progressions is truly outstanding. It would be great to see some more of those old playbooks.
I uploaded another today. Enjoy, Greg.
new format, new lighting

Holy crap. This is awesome. More install videos please.

Great video. More videos like this please
Great stuff as always!
Can you do a video on the Patriots Erdhart-Perkins system compared to the West Coast and Air Coryell Digit system?

Thanks JT, really taking it to another level. Love it!
The best football tactic Video on UA-cam, this is great! Man keep doing stuff like that, so much insight, thank you!
Understanding the nuance and complexity of the game helps me appreciate it so much more. Love the channel
This was amazing. More of this please.
Now this is some excellent education JT, thanks for your time bro
Really cool video man! In regards to terminology which playbook did you prefer?
So much insight! Keep up the good work!
This channel is phenomenal
Wow. Great content! You’re elevating your game man, well done
I thought I understood football. Then I watched this video. I am so happy to have been so wrong. Thank you JT! Keep it coming!
You have the best football channel so far
Awesome video, hope to see more plays in the future.
I download free pdf files of old NF playbooks from footballxos.com

Thank you
Great video. Love the breakdowns

This is awesome.
Good one. I'm learning.
Love your work appreciate it. Can you do Dak next & show how he has progressed since last year especially in mechanics. Keeping his back foot on the ground, using hips instead of all arm throws, Moore helping him identify open man etc?
hes played against three horrible teams. tends to make you look good.
Love the Channel I do have a question. The concept of short post and the other concept of Texas, What are the differences specifically when it comes to the post or the Texas/angle route? Would love to know what they are, If they are the same what is the reason for the two concepts? I would think depth of the route may be the main difference but would love to hear your thoughts.
Simple 👍 formation, strength, motion, protection, routes
Great zone ! Thx
Love the content. Keep up the good work!
oof, prefer the old lighting
Damn did not known u played in the NFL....honored to be subscribe to this channel. 🏈🏈🏈
Whoever gave this video a dislike is just a hater. Keep up the good work JT
Keep doing these
Love the vids brother! Questions tho, where do you get your film from? Is it just DVR recorded? And what do you use for your tool to draw on screen?
Who lit this episode, J.J. Abrams?
Love this!!!!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
You mention that Rodney Harrison got you with a robber concept. Would you get into robber and buzz defenses?
How often will a team run a given concept in a game?
You showed us how NE ran the same play 3 times in a row. In another video by NFL Films, they had a CB talk about howa team ran the same play twice in a row but flipped it.
How often might you run this play (from various fronts/shifts) in a game, and how often would one actually even hit that post... as opposed to being forced to go to your 2nd or third reads?
Great football content, but you might want to back off the contrast/HDR settings on the video.
Great formatt!! What does Cody Kesler bring to the Patriots?
This really helps me learn routes I’m a QB in training right now BTW
Good stuff man!
Despite lots of visual aid I still have trouble with or have only a vague idea of 25%-50% of the jargon. I understand cornerback but does a cloud corner mean the player is doing some kind of zone? Is a robber(?) usually a middle linebacker?Are there any youtube channels that help with jargon?
This shit is nice! Keep it up
Thats what i'm talking about....
Chanel is awesome coach
Awesome.
@@TheQBSchool Is there a way to contact you personally ?
When you say 4 weak talking about the FS what are you referring to? Blitz? Coverage? Makes me appreciate how hard it is to play qb or really any position
pretty sure he means blitz because it wouldn't make sense to adjust to a short route if there isn't pressure comung
yeah he means putting the FS on the weak side of the line, 4 coming at you on the weak side, leaves that part of the field wide open.
Do an episode on Presnap reads vs Post snap!
Ok so what do they actually mean when analysts say that new coaches want to implement a new offense when most of this stuff is just the same thing?????
Is anyone else's contrast crazy right now or is it just me?
Can you please don’t more video like this please
Unbelievable video. Wow!
Constructive criticism : the lighting is terrible, your face is washed out.
