Quarterback Coverage Reads & Decision-Making System
Train your quarterback to recognize coverage, process faster, and execute with confidence, in any offense that throws the ball.
Late reads stall drives. Slow eyes miss big plays. Poor coverage identification turns into turnovers. A quarterback has to know what he is seeing before the snap, confirm it after the snap, and make the right decision in a three-second window. Open Grass Reads gives quarterbacks a proven system to recognize coverage, understand leverage, and make the right decisions from pre-snap to post-snap in any offense that throws the ball.
Open Grass Reads is a comprehensive quarterback training system that teaches the mental and physical skills needed to identify coverage, process information faster, and make better decisions on the field. Through detailed instruction and real game film examples, Coach Pat Taylor breaks down how to read defenses, work through progressions, and attack open grass in any offense.
