From the Author
A good passing offense must be predicated on being able to protect the quarterback. Before we adopted this system our blocking assignments were vulnerable to blitzing linebackers. We may have had success during a game running the ball but when we wanted to pass our pass protection assignments were flawed and opposing coaches were able to exploit that weakness by rushing seven or eight defenders. Even though I was not the offensive line coach, I was concerned because our QB was frequently sacked and our pass routes were not effective. Our passing game was in need of a major overhaul.
Several years ago when we were in the midst of a routine, but nevertheless frustrating 2-8 season, I read an article in the sports section of a local daily newspaper. The article profiled the quarterback of a successful high school football team in my state. This athlete gave credit for his team's success and his own individual achievements to the offensive coordinator, Jack Erwin, who had installed a fundamentally and philosophically sound passing offense. I knew then that I had to meet this coach and learn his system.
The next spring while I was at an in-state coaches clinic Jack was there. We talked awhile and I was thrilled at what I was learning. I called him several times to clarify my understanding of this system. When my school term was over in June, I drove to his school and spent the whole day with him learning this system more completely.
My motivation for writing this book is based on how it helped us turn our program around. While I cannot guarantee the same results for your team, I can assure you of the soundness of this system in protecting your quarterback. Your success may come sooner but this system was certainly the answer to our passing game woes.

"Coach" needs to write a better book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blitz-Proof Pass Protection with Game Proven Pass Routes (Paperback)
Apparently "Coach" takes his criticism a little too harsh. I have to agree with "reader" this book is wafer thin on pass protection and there is NOTHING new here. It is the same slant,hitches,fades and crossing combos that everybody uses. I guess if you've never stood on the sideline, read another football book, watched game tapes of your opponents and gone to a clinic you will find this insight "helpful". Not sure why Coach Powers thinks he has discovered something new here. I was also wondering where coach explains how some of the routes he says are in this book are adaptable to ANY formation?? Like reader I wish Coach Powers well and I don't doubt that he is a good coach but let us be honest with those who are making a decision on which books to fit into their tight time and financial limits. There isn't anything special or unique that makes this book a must have "pre-season" read.

Rehash of Coverdale and Robinson's Quick Passing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blitz-Proof Pass Protection with Game Proven Pass Routes (Paperback)
I was hoping for something new. Maybe a little more detail on pass protection? Unfortunately the book does not go into that much detail on the emphasis of its title "Blitz Proof Pass Protection". Its basically the same standard protection that would be all familiar to those who have studied the game, nothing new or revolutionary, its just a different guy explaining the same b on b protection EVERYBODY uses. As for the pass routes again nothing new to those who have studied the game. Just your basic 3 step package. I wish Coach Powers luck and I hope the publisher (somewhat new to football coaching books) continues to put out more football material, however I would recommend Andrew Coverdale's and Dan Robinson Quick Passing book series for those seeking more detail on both pass protection and quick "blitz proof" passing. Coverdale and Robinson also include some cutting edge pass ideas that are simple and adaptable to any formation, Coach Powers on the other hand seems to limit his package to very few formations. Again nothing against Coach Powers its just this material is covered better and in more detail elsewhere.
5.0 out of 5 stars
AWESOME BOOK !!!,
This review is from: Blitz-Proof Pass Protection with Game Proven Pass Routes (Paperback)
I own hundreds of football coaching books and this might be the most useful I have ever read. Don't be confused by the title, the best part of the book is it's detailed description of picking apart coverages, and the 80 series passing game. This is a must have for any football coach.
