Accept the challenge to change your perspective! Coaching quarterbacks "with a headset" demands the QB see the game through your eyes. Coaching "through his helmet"-The R4 Expert System-gets the coach into the QB's head. There are an infinite number of variables that exist in the pressure-packed position of quarterback decision-making. From coverage recognition to blitz awareness-from protection schemes to impaired pocket-vision to locating throws in hostile space; the stakes have never been higher for signal callers. Like a powerful operating platform for a computer, Dub Maddox and Darin Slack have spent years perfecting the R4 QB Expert System as a powerful quarterback communication tool for today's offensive coach. Recognized by many as the most innovative solution for overly-complex passing game structures, this system is designed to streamline and structure any scheme it influences. With easy-to-understand logic and simple common sense, Maddox and Slack penetrate the DNA of pass defense with a surgical precision that radically changes your understanding of pass play design, simplifying quarterback decision-making structures, and reducing installation confusion. Reinforce your power to get quarterbacks to Self-Correct, Not Self-Destruct under pressure. What if you could use a single 4-word process that would: - guide every decision a quarterback makes for every pass play in your existing scheme? - reduce the burden on pass protection? - discipline quarterback footwork once and for all? - increase the sense of urgency for every receiver in a route package? - significantly reduce "if-thens" for every pass play? - generate manageable "full field" quarterback reads post snap?
