Gonna be rough execution wise as we're having trouble getting the direct snap off. One center is high, the other is low, but I think we can get it ironed out. When we get it right everything's decent for this time of year. Defense is a whole nother story, we've been doing alignments and formation adjustments every day for 3 weeks and they're still very tentative about getting there. Ugh. So many new guys that have to get comfortable on a football field. And we open the season next week with our biggest rival. As Jerry Reed said, we've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there. But that's what makes it fun right! Right?

We won 20-0. Ran 8 offensive plays (not counting 2 pt plays), 3 tds. On one hand the team we played was not very (any) good, on the other hand we handled them pretty much like we should have. My first center's snaps were pretty good, so our jet motion and timing looked pretty good with that group. The other center got one play, snapped it low, our QB picked it up, spun out and housed it. Defensively we got beat outside a couple times which is not acceptable, but I think our DE's will learn from it (cause that's what I coach and we're gonna rep the hell out of it this week). LB's filled a lot better than they did in an earlier scrimmage so we're making progress.
Also, I'm so glad we're no huddle. Seems like all the teams spent forever in the huddle before they ran plays. We're not hurry up at all, we never even discuss tempo, but it's just naturally so much more efficient. I swear I could've pulled my Nook out and played some Angry Birds while we were on defense waiting for the other team to get to the line.
A side note, imo we looked sharper than everybody else offensively, but we weren't as aggressive on defense as some of the teams. I think a lot of that is that we have done so much teaching on where to be, who to read, how to get there, etc. that we haven't done a whole lot of contact and it showed somewhat.
