Ok, now that I got your attention. Just how smart are your players?
We found a load!!!! of tendancies last year based on the things the kids were doing that their coaches were probably not even aware of.
This made us want to go back and self scout and we found some things of our own that made me shake my head.
Things we found on other teams first.. then things we found on our team.
We played an I team who when they were throwing the ball, the TB would change his alignment from 7 to 5 (right behind the FB) to get to his blocking assignments quicker.
We had another I team who ran the option. On regular Power or other run plays the TB was around 7 yards deep and on option plays he got around 9 yards deep to time the pitch up better.
One team we played (another I team) always had the QB's back go where the ball was going when he came out from under the center.. so he reversed out on blast and power, but opened up on counter. It was a fail safe key.
Plays a DBl slot team whose slot would line up deeper when he was about to go in motion for the option and line up hugging the LOS on pass plays.
Now.. our kids.. on our I play action passes, our linemen would all point to signal out who they had or who other should watch for.. only did this on pass plays..
Our FB would line up closer on any run or run fake plays and wider on pass plays.
These are things that we never picked up on film or other things.. but I wonder how many times our opponents picked up on it.. like we did our opponents..
This is just a public service announcement to SCOUT YOURSELF and make sure you are not giving things away...
