Quarterbacks - Improve Your Footwork With the Glide Drill
An excellent drill to work on your footwork is the Glide Drill. It simulates the body motion required for a quick getaway from the rush to either continue your drop back or side to side movement. This drill can be done alone or with others.
Stand facing the line of scrimmage as if under center. Keep your chest up with your head high and your eyes downfield. As you simulate receiving the center snap, drop your back foot to approximately 5 o'clock. Take 2 shuffle steps or "glide' back and plant your back foot. Now that you have planted your back foot, swivel your hips to approximately 45 degrees and begin your glide. After 2 steps, plant you foot and repeat. After repeating the swivel several times, plant your back foot and throw the ball to your partner.
The drill will help build the muscle memory our bodies need in order to perform this task as second nature. Obviously, the faster and more under control than the previous attempt. As you will soon see, as you become more and more fluid with your motions, moving around the pocket will become second nature and you will be able to avoid the hits.
This drill can be a competitive game. Have all of your quarterbacks get "under center" You call the cadence and make sure that you let your quarterback's know that not only is speed a factor, but that they must be under control from the time that they receive the ball to the time they release the ball until the catch is made.
