FridayNightPulse Training Tip: Erasmus Hall QBs Master the 'Read & React' Drill
📍 Erasmus Hall Dutchmen·Friday, July 17, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Quarterbacks at top AA programs like Erasmus Hall Dutchmen need to be prepared for any defensive look. This summer, Dutchmen QBs will master the 'Read & React' drill to improve their decision-making and accuracy. Set up a 5-yard line with cones, with a defender lined up 5 yards deep. The QB will start at the line of scrimmage, reading the defender's alignment and reaction to the snap. On a snap, the QB will either hand off to a running back or throw a quick pass to a receiver. The key is to read the defender's eyes and react quickly. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest between sets. Coach QBs to 'read the eyes, react to the hips' and emphasize the importance of quick decision-making in game situations.
