A big factor in the QB’s development is learning how to watch film. Going Through the Pre-Snap Process An effective method we’ve used is mimicking the pre-snap process for each play. For each play, we pause at right before the snap and the QB identifies what the play is (since it’s tagged in Hudl), identifies the defensive structure, and then anticipates what is about to happen. He verbalizes all of this before we hit play, and then after we watch the play, we go over his pre-snap process answers to see how accurate they were.
