We did they shells and shorts in college also. We did not wear the volleyball knee pads though. IMO and I know if I was a player still I would not want to wear volleyball pad. The coolness difference I think is not a big enough difference for me to do this. I do like the shorts and shells and thudding and not tackling, but if we are going to tackle and go all out full go I would much rather wear fully issued football gear and not some half issue and volleyball gear.

IMO if you go to a tourney of 7-7 and don't know what your about to get and complain its your own fault. Get with coaches in your area and get a league up where the score is not kept anywhere but in heads and does not matter if you win or loose, that at any moment play maybe stopped so coaches can walk thru certain aspects they see they need to correct. If everyone is on board with just trying to get better then 7 on 7 is something that can be a big positive. We were a SBV team and still got good work. As far as summer things go I will repeat what I said earlier, different teams have different ways they can go about their summer and be successful. As far as struggling programs goes and doing a lot, I look at it this way, NO it may not change the outcome of the season, but at least you can look yourself in the mirror and say that I did everything I could to help make the team better. Yes IMO every little thing helps, some may help more than others, and some may not be worth the time spent for the results in some people's opinion. Its almost like anything else in football, its not what offense or defense you run, there is a 1000 ways to do things, just like summer programs.

We don't even keep score really, kids and coaches kinda know but not talked about with coaches nor posted anywhere. We go with teams about 30 min a piece. Like I said its not great but we get good pass defense work in, and 2 min offense for us in.

I agrre that's why we don't go to tourneys, we get involved with coaches that I know, that way if we need to stop and walk through something we can.

As far as 7 on 7 goes I like it for the defense purpose. We get in a league of some local schools and almost all if not all run their defense not just two man. If you go to these college tourneys they have then yeah you will probably see that from every team.

I agree to some extent with what most are saying. BUT what if you are the struggling program that has to win early if you want to try and have a successful season. Most from what I'm hearing is that you are playing for championships. And don't want your kids burned out at end of the season. What if your goal is to just make the playoffs which means you have to win early and have a successful regular season? I have been a part of programs that did something everyday and had great success, I have been apart of programs that did not do as much but did some and have great success, and I know of programs that don't really ask of much till late July and have had success. What I guess I'm trying to say is that everywhere is different, some places those kids want to be there and do something, while others not so much. Just because your able to defeat a team that does a lot in summer does not mean they are doing too much, just means you don't have to do as much to be successful. I think one coach said it best, he is going to try and do the minimum to be successful, some schools require more minimum than others, and some coaches have different opinions on what success is. The more talented athletes you have the less you may have to do, just give that stud the ball and ride him till he bucks ya off.

Thats gotta hurt, I agree with some just coach up the other guys, and tell them if they all raise their game up 10% they can fill the void. I know sometimes all the "coaching up" the kids wont help anything thats just the sad facts. Those that are able to plug and play be glad your in those situations.

We like some don't discourage it, but we encourage camps that we know they will get proper instruction in what we are trying to do. Took some kids to Georgia Tech camp and it was great, the college position coaches coached their butts off to all the players. Now after practice was a little different, but that was to be expected, but during the camp it was all business no matter who was up. At one high school I worked at we hosted a team camp and had some of the best coaches around that taught wing-t, we usually had about 4 other teams there too. They were broke into groups by position, and then brought back together as a team.To me that help with our success more than anything over the summer.

David beats Goliath the same way he did in the Bible. David must have faith and believe he can do it, and Goliath MUST over look David and take him lightly. If Goliath brings his best to the field David does not win. When Great teams play good it usually does not matter what David does. If David can beat Goliath when he is at his best then he never was a David to begin with. The chances that a David wins a championship is about as good as someone winning the lottery...twice.. David stories are great stories, BUT you dont win championships without good players. I agree with what someone said, if you win week in week out your not a David. David is the teams that win 2-4 games a year.

I say you can strengthen it, not necessarily "teach" it. Heart is something that is inside you, and you either allow it to grow or not. Some of my kids have heart and some do not thats the bottom line. We try our best to teach it but in general all we do is strengthen those who have it and those who don't try to get through it.....I have never served in the military, but I love the military and what it stands for. To me that is what Heart really is, and I think we all know that their are tons of people that "think" they have heart, but few find out that they really have it.

Hershel Moore talking about the greatest influence block in the world. He said drop back and flip the guy in front of you a bird, if that don't get him attacking up field, then your a** should be running lead at him. Had the honor of working with Hershel for 3 years, everyday I saw him he had a good story to tell.

veerman--not to get off the topic, but reads and techniques are two different things. Reads interlace will all facets of the defense. Reads are part of a defenses infrastructure, best when unified throughout the scheme with purpose. A better example would be..say, the backpedal vs the shuffle for a defensive back. My main point was if you are a cord. then you will probally want to tell the position coaches how you want things done, so why wouldn't a head coach want to tell the "program" how things will be done.

I think each situation is different. Sometimes you might be in a situation where your asst. coaches are just teachers who help out who do not know a how lot about the game, and you "teach" them your system. I am an assistant coach, but have goals of one day being a head coach, when that day comes I will want to find assistants who have the same philosophies as me and they can coordinate, but until my staff is filled I will teach them what I want. Got a question for you OC/DC guys who have a big problem with head coaches running their system. If you are the OC/DC and you are wanting to run a particular system, and a position coach wants to teach a different type of technique to his kids that he knows, but is not the way you want. Do you let him teach the tech he knows or tell him the technique you want and thats it. What's entirely different because now you're not being sound. Yeah it's still sound Ex: You like your ILB to read backs but he like to read Guards. Do you let him read Gaurds or tell him to read backs?

I would say Navy flexbone option, or spread whatever you want to call it. It is just when I hear spread option now I think of it out of the gun instead of under center. I know it was called that by some in the past, but I think it took a new meaning the last couple of years. On defense I like to go with a 3-4 defense with smaller guys with them slanting almost every play. 4-4 would also be something to look at.

I have most of the NAVY games that have come on TV, and some of the Air Force games....I have the Tony Demeo video's. I am looking for some more "flexbone triple option" video's if anyone has any they would be willing to trade.

I agree, but thats what I love about the option. I think Herb Brooks said it best "I'm not looking for the best players I'm looking for the right ones". I think at a big time program the thing that would benifit the option the most would be the defense. The option can work just fine with lesser athletes, but you have to have a defense that can stop people and keep you out of bad field position. To me thats the big difference with the option teams in college. Their programs are small so they can not recruit the best defensive personel. At the big time programs they would not have to worry about that.

Did anyone get to see the game between Air Force and Tennessee? I think that game showed that the flexbone triple option can be successful in major college football. Tennessee's defense is as fast as they come in the SEC (one of the toughest confrences in the country), and they could not stop the triple. Would love to see someone try it out in the pros, but will never happen so oh well i love watching it on saterdays.

If Bonds breaks the record it won't bother me a bit. Who is to say that Ruth, Hank, and others did not do something that was illegal. Maybe not steroids, but performance enhancing drugs were around. Using illegal equipment was big back then also. I get sick and tired of people trying to play the inocent victim, when it has been going on since the beginning of the game, and will find a way to continue.

The season pass is worth the money if you go to more than one clinic, BUT if all your going to do is one clinic and want the online features it is not worth the money. I do not know what they are waiting on, it has been nearly 2 months since the first clinic and not the first note has been posted, nothing has but the old videos, that you can not copy off ( or I have not found a way). I am very disappointed in the online feature.

Does Johnson at Navy "ride and decide" or does he prefere the "better wrong then long". We have tried both at the high school level. Just woundering what ya'll thought was better?
