[HTML1] This episode covers three of the worst things that a QB can have happen to him. Once you learn these today you will be able to start Talking QB Talk.
Three Disasters for a Quarterback to Avoid and You Should Keep Track of Every Game:
1. A Fumble: This occurs when the ball comes out of the QB’s hands and one of two things can happen; he or one of his offensive teammates recovers it and his offense keeps the ball or a defensive player recovers the ball and his team has now lost possession of the ball and he and his offense are required to leave the field and sit on the bench. (all 11 players ) The other team’s offense then takes the field and the first QB’s defensive players also go on the field. This is called a Change of Possession where the offensive team and defensive team who were on the field before the fumble now switch places because the QB fumbled the ball and the other team recovered it.
2. A Sack: When a defensive player reaches the QB and tackles him or prevents him from moving. This can cause the following; the QB might fumble because he was hit, or he can get hurt because the defensive player tackled him to the ground. The QB must try to avoid a sack at all times.
3. An Interception: The QB throws a forward pass and a defensive player catches it not one of the offensive team’s eligible players. When this happens his team loses possession of the ball which results in a change of possession—the other team takes over and the QB from the opposing team takes the field. This is a disastrous result.
By keeping track of your QB’s Fumbles, Sacks, and Interceptions, you will be able to talk QB Talk right away….so start today.
Fresh out of Villanova Law School Susan worked at a corporate law firm in Philadelphia and also served as the legal counsel of the Philadelphia Eagles. After several years at the Eagles she became the Vice President and acting general manager of the franchise—the only woman to ever hold all three positions with a professional football team.
Susan learned everything a woman needs to know about football during the 5 years she spent with the Eagles. Here are some of the highlights:
- Watched a ton of football games and sat in with coaches when they reviewed game films and picked players’ performance apart
- After raising ticket prices for the first time in 10 years she became public enemy number 1 with Eagles ticket holders
- By changing the press luncheons from steak to hot dogs the press gave her the title of “the wicked witch of the vet” (Eagles stadium was named Veterans Stadium)
- As the spokesperson for the Eagles she was often booed and once received a 10 minute standing boo from several hundred males at a prestigious award ceremony
- Once the fans knew her car as she drove out of the stadium they often pelted her car with eggs
- Through it all she negotiated players’ contracts, worked with the coaching staff, scouts, trainers, and video crew, and represented the Eagles at many of the NFL league meetings
- Susan made many friends in football and credits her success to knowing how to talk football
