Long Arm Quarterback (2009)
“Tully came slowly back to the team. He looked at each boy in turn, ending up with his eyes on Jimmy.
“Son, Sable says you can really throw the ball. And I guess he'd know.”
Jimmy said, “Thank you, Mr. Wadell.”
“Call me Coach. That goes for all of you. And I want this clear: Each of you will get the chance to show your stuff. No favorites.
True, only six can start, but I guarantee you'll all get plenty of playing time. You play offense and defense, so I'll shuttle players in and out to keep you fresh. With two talented passers, we'll find ways to use you both. We might use you at the same time now and then and drive the opposition crazy. Any questions?”
No one had questions, and so practice began.
Tully taught them pass patterns: sideline routes where a receiver could turn upfield or step out of bounds to stop the clock, hooks, two-man patterns with one receiver going deep and another cutting over the middle.
