The Board Drill Podcast – S2E30 | Dan Blackbourn: Building a Standalone Quick Game
In this episode, Kyle and Matt sit down with Coach Dan Blackbourn, OC at Brooks County (GA), to break down the fundamentals of quick game passing. Coach Blackbourn takes us through his step-based teaching philosophy, the importance of treating quick game as more than just an RPO extension, and how he installs and evolves the system from Day 1—even with limited time.
