If they're blitzing, we're going to counter it no matter who we have in. On the flip side, if we can't stop you in base, we're going to blitz no matter who we have in. My philosophy on subbing is: Winning - sub when we feel comfortable with the game/score. As fantom said, subbing for the winning team is to reward the backups who grind during the week. Losing - sub when we feel like our starters "had their chance." I've been a part of the entire spectrum of teams in my career, unlike some coaches who run away from a team at the first chance they could lose 3 games. If we have a good team and got our butts kicked, we're going to sub when we feel the chance to come back is over. If we have a bad team, we're going to give our starters a chance to have some success before we pull them, especially if we are young (which would you believe most bad teams are). Good example. We had a team that finished 1-8. We were up 20-0 at half against a really good team we had no business being in a game with. They came out and put 40 on us in the 3rd quarter (no lie). We put the subs in for the entire 4th. Final was 43-20. The next week, we played another good team and were down 41-0 in the 3rd when they subbed. We kept our starters in for a couple more series until we scored, and subbed with about 5:00 left. Final was 54-7. I think we made the right decision in both games.

Do your subs want to play football or not? If they want to play, they should play like the score is tied and they're starting a new game. They had no responsibility for what the first string did. Let 'em have fun; they can keep a separate score for their own "game". Remember who the game is for. Somebody watching doesn't like that, they can leave; maybe there's something good on TV.
