About this video
Most offenses carry more formations than they can rep. Josh Gehring, quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, explains the concept of reduced formations and how a quarterback takes advantage of them - fewer pictures, more reps, sharper execution. The session covers the pass concepts and individual plays that come with the idea, plus the practice organization that makes it pay off.
