Second effort, to me, is going all out all the way to the whistle. Let's not kid ourselves. Most of us take care of our initial responsibility then wait for the whistle. That's human nature even for good kids. Taking care of your initial responsibility then looking to do more is second effort.
Second effort is: an OL who pancakes his man then blocks another; a DL who rushes the passer then pursues on a pass downfileld and makes the tackle; a WR who runs like hell to get in front of a runner to make a block on a long run.
Here's a play that epitomizes second effort- we were on the +10. We threw a quick screen that was INTed by a kid with speed. Sure TD except our QB didn't feel that way. He pursued and caught the kid on the -10. We held them to a FG and won by less than a TD. That's second effort.

This is second effort and one of the greatest plays I have ever seen

Ben Watson for the Patriots had some great second effort (and a nice hit) on Champ Bailey a couple of seasons ago.......

The video with Ben Watson is incredible. It shows what a player can do if they don't give up and like he said, if he dogged it, he knew he would have to deal with it personally.

I also think that "second effort" can be defined as failing initially, but not fatally, and trying again with everything you've got...! |

1st year college coach about to go out on his first recruiting trip goes to the old veteran coach for advise, "What kind of kid am I looking for?", the youngster asks
The old coach looks at him as says, "You know the kid that gets knocked down and doesn't get up? We definitely don't want him. You know the kid that gets knocked down and slowly gets up? We don't want him. You know the kid that get knocked down and pops back up and keeps playing? We don't want him either."
The young coach looking confused says, "Then who do we want?"
The old coach smiles and says "We want the kid who knocked the hell out of all those guys!"
